Stan covered most of this in his recent post- we co-op played through
this XBox Live Arcade title over two nights a few month apart. I'm a fan
of the Tomb Raider franchise and have been wanting to go back and play the games in the series I've missed, but for now this non-Tomb Raider titled spin-off will have to do.
I remember being pretty hesitant about Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light when I first heard of
it- Lara works with some sort of racist caricature 'tribal warrior' in
an arcade-scoring co-op only game? This was all so far away from what Tomb Raider
was about. But it got great reviews and I was interested enough to play
at some point. Stan and I both ended up downloading this from that XBox
Games With Gold promotion but only ended up playing on Stan's XBox- that's
good enough a reason to log for me. The game felt like it was as good as
I could expect. It's a pretty huge game for XBLA, with 14 long levels
and not a lot of repetition. You're mostly tasked with solving a bunch of
puzzles to move ahead, puzzles that require two people to work together, so it never resulted in either of us just kinda dragging the other along like so many co-op games can do. A sequel was recently announced, this time allowing four-player co-op, so who wants to play that one?
