this is a great game, don't listen to the one star people they have no idea what they are talking about. yes i agree the fighting could be better but you can make it harder but setting the level to the hardest level. and as of picking up objects to use like a gun batman doesn't use guns he uses his own weapons. there is a lot of free lance opportunity which makes the game better, and after you "beat" the game you still can continue to play with more story line. great game fun and action packed

Now those that are FF lovers, you need to buy this game. The paradigms are awesome its a new form of fighting different styles during battle it is great, just make sure you set them. what i wish this game did have is more battles, i have yet to beat the game so i wont be too critical but i do have 12 hours in so i know a little information. they have battle and some are harder then most but you know when you will be in battle cuz now you see ur enemies before u battle which is cool and not cool. also in battle you do find urself pushing X a lot with the auto attack. but once u earn more fighting techniques you no longer push auto unless ur lazy. but still this game kicks @$$ by far a huge upgrade, graphics are unreal even though they should be but best graphics out of all my games that i have on PS3. FFVII still the best FF ever but FFXIII comes very close must buy
What's great about it: Best FF gameplay to date
What's not so great: So far just being able to control one guy

Great game, everything you read about is true. brings me back to my fat adolesence age!! Only one thing I would love for them to change, they should of put in all the characters from super street fighter like T. Hawk and Dee Jay, I just think a massive list of characters would be great!
What's great about it: Original, easy controls
What's not so great: CPU can get tough, wish they had more characters

You would think after a few years they would fix the problem of the gliches. Dont get me wrong this is a must buy great game, just minor gliches it may not bother some but it sure does me. I was batting with a runner on 1st with two outs and I lined out to 2nd to end the inning, the following inning I was leading off with the same guy that made the last out. Also the fielding, base hit to the OF and a man is trying to score the OF always picks up the ball takes a few steps then throws it! I mean what happend to picking it up and firing to home plate! The transition is way to slow, just too many important gliches in my mind, that I hope can be fixed on an update but I doubt it cuz same problems in the past But other then that it is a good game better then last year.

If you are a Tomb Raider fan then you need this game, yes the camera angles suck but not one game is perfect. the story, graphics and lara's ability pretty much to do anything is awesome. think of it this way if you like Uncharted then you'll like this one, the only difference is the hot Lara is main charater. when if first played i felt like i was playing uncharted, but i would have to give the advantage to Uncharted over Tomb Raider but it's still a great game.

If you love history and games that you start from scratch you need this game. World domination and rewriting history while you play. I give this game 4 stars because the cons in this game is the game is too short and you only battle against 4 enemys. I love that the game has a different map every time you play and the all difficulties are great and challenging, they need to come out with another one that has more enemys during game play or give you the choice of 4-16 that would be awesome. And add more historical leaders!

If you are a Star Wars fan this game is a must buy, just because it adds to you Star Wars saga. It feels as if a movie in between movies. The graphics are totally amazing with the attaks and melees are a blast. I've played for quite a bit of time the first day just to get the hang of it and found myself playing longer then expected. You really feel as if you are a character in the Star Wars Saga. The only thing I can see a negative on it so far is the blocking you cant walk and block at the same time(maybe you have to aquire the skill, but dont know just yet)I would recommend this to action gamers.
What's great about it: Fun across the board
What's not so great: Wish you can walk while blocking
