You are so right about having come a long way...

Not since TR1 &2 have people described a TR game as having truly "breathtaking" rooms and architecture -- Legend is so beautiful, the immense scale of the rooms, the moss covered walls, guiding Lara through the crumbling remnants of a vast, and yet long- forgotten dead civilization, I have not felt so totally enthusiastic about an upcoming game since TR2 when we used to read The Croft Times :rolleyes: back in the day
I am even unsure whether I will buy a PS3 or Xbox 360, it depends which plays TRL the best :D

Yeah well I thought even the TR1 scenery was gorgeous but they really outdid themselves on Legend. Its breathtaking how beautiful it all is. Almost as if Im there myself. :o

That's what a good game should make you feel, like you are right there in it with the hero. :)
Paws crossed. ;)

TR Legend apparently has a few "square" or "rectangular" waterfalls (to be precise) of its own

TR1, for comparison

Because of gravity/physics it looks SO much more realistic for a sheet of falling water to be flat rather than those section triangulated round waterfalls in TR 4

Not realistic:

BTW: Does this piture not make you think immediately of the T-rex level in TR1?? This makes me so nostalgic for some reason, if they had had these graphics back in 96, this is exactly what the lost valley would have looked like
