This negative review is not because of the alleged physics problems some users are having, of which the solution to that is just to turn on V-Sync. It's an old game, live with it.
What I'm negative about is that after 11 years I decided to buy this game again and go at it for a nostalgia trip. It's part of one of my favorite storylines of Tomb Raider. Went through all of it only to be again kinda weirded out by the ending.
Compared to 11 years ago, today I decided to finally do some research about the ending, and what do I learn?
THERE ARE TWO MICROSOFT XBOX 360 EXCLUSIVE DLCs THAT HAVE THE TRUE ENDING IN IT.
Tomb Raider Underworld: Beneath the Ashes[www.microsoft.com] and
Tomb Raider: Underworld: Lara’s Shadow[www.microsoft.com]
And I thought that Prince of Persia 2008 was one of the only games with these kinda practices.
I'm saddened to learn this game has this history behind it, especially cause it's never mentioned in the game that the story doesn't end there, so it just leaves the player with a meh ending.
The game has a "Previously on Tomb Raider" video, why not make one with the ending of the DLCs I wonder? How is it better, that to know it, I have to look it up on YouTube?
Even a simple sentence stating the story would continue on XBOX 360 DLCs would have been better than nothing.
Disappointing, as much as with Prince of Persia 2008.
Nope.
Nope nope nope nope nope.
Don't get this content lacking trash PC port game. Don't support this.
It's crazy that THE ENDING is an exclusive DLC never released on PC.

As of today, I learned apparently the devs are trying to port the DLCs to the other platforms!
There is some hope!

jaw drops to floor, eyes pop out of sockets accompanied by trumpets, heart beats out of chest, awooga awooga sound effect, pulls chain on train whistle that has appeared next to head as steam blows out, slams fists on table, rattling any plates, bowls or silverware, whistles loudly, fireworks shoot from top of head, pants loudly as tongue hangs out of mouth, wipes comically large bead of sweat from forehead, clears throat, straightens tie, combs hair Ahem, you look very lovely.
