    Geeez... come on, Square / Enix, make this available per IAP!!!

    I LOVE this game - but with this additional content - it would rule!

    Btw... last link, second screenie: Kane & Lynch, I guess accidentally put in there. This might come later. :D

    Me! It is more than great! Best Lara Croft game in a while and absolutely beautiful, especially the environments. Very good controls.
    This was my favourite on Dec., 15th 2010!

    Nice find! sure would pay for the IAP's. I wonder if Kane would hold up the enemies and suck their souls like in some of his previous games.

    Sounds good so far. How is the story? How long is it?

    Story is good... typical Lara Croft / Indiana Jones - story.

    Game itself is 12 -15 hours. A lot longer if you try to get all the unlocks.

    Might be weird, but never played a Lara Croft game or seen an Indiana Jones film, so could you explain any more? : DD

    Sounds good.

    The plot:

    Two thousand years ago in ancient Central America, a battle began between Totec, the Guardian of the Light, and Xolotl, the keeper of darkness. Totec's army was defeated when Xolotl used the mirror of smoke to unleash hordes of ghastly creatures. Totec survived said battle, and found a way to defeat Xolotl, imprisoning him in the mirror of smoke and watching over the mirror as an immortal stone statue. In present day, Lara Croft reads of the legend and attempts to find the mirror. After a long and dangerous hike she is successful. She stops to observe the mirror, only to find that a band of mercenaries led by the local warlord followed her into the temple and took the mirror from her....

    Spider Tomb boss help

    I just finished extending the bridge, so I need to beat that giant spider queen before moving on. I've got the flamethrower (which runs out of gas fairly quickly), but I'm trapped because both gates are closed so I'm boxed in with the queen with nowhere to run (and in walkthroughs I've seen, the gates are open). Any advice?

    Man... still no fix, gamecenter achievement not syncing, sporadic crashes, you know I thought this game was the start of the iOS evolution to a mainstream game machine.

    But thanks to greedy developers who just released a shoddy half baked buggy translation it may sadly go down as just another "mobile game platform" with none of the stability, and ease of use as dedicated game platforms.

    Luckily its just this game, remind me never to buy again from this developer.

    Crashing still

    I bought it thinking that the crashes were only affecting a few people. Not so, mine crashes as well consistently. For me I think I've narrowed the problem to the transition from the static comic page to the video segment it's about to play. It did it as well during the first comic/video segment but I was able to make it skip past but I have no luck making it skip the second one. Defin wait for update fix before buying. *smacks head*

    Yeah, it looks like the other console versions differ from the iPhone version in that respect, i.e. one open walkway on other consoles versus no open walkways on the iPhone.

    My advice? Use the pillar. After the spider queen pops out, run for the pillar and jump to the spear you stuck in it and to the other side. Then lower the pillar and jump on top. Start firing from on top. It may take longer than the bombs or the flamethrower but at least the spider won't be able to hurt you at all. (I missed that obvious perch too- I saw it on Youtube :p)

    UPDATE: I actually just beat the spider queen with a stroke of pure luck. I was trying to use the pillar method I described above, and I was trying desperately to jump to the spear I threw into the pillar while the spider queen was biting me in the back. I kept trying to jump too close to the edge and ending up simply dangling instead. Suddenly, as I'm dangling from the ledge for like the 4th time, the spider queen topples over the ledge into the pit (lunged too far? :p ) and it breaks apart and the achievement message pops up. Saved me a whole lot of shooting. Dead in one move! Pure luck.

    Someone should try simply dangling from the ledge and see if the spider queen still throws herself into the pit.

    It's Leglion, and yes it is possible. You're forgetting the pillar behind you. Climb up to the top using the method you used before and shoot from there. Completely safe.

    Alternately, you should try something I stumbled upon quite by accident. Dangle from the end of the walkway leading to the pillar (ledge). The Spider Queen may just fall into the pit when she tries to lunge for you. (I was trying to jump for the spear in the pillar but was too close to the edge and wound up simply dangling from it- and the spider queen, who was attacking me, suddenly just fell over into the pit).
