Nice! I played this on 360.
It was actually a refreshing "arcadey" change to a stale Tomb Raider formula... I always liked it, but felt like it would've been more appropriate to release on a handheld. Now that's coming true! BUYING!

and it's just the first from Square Enix.. more established titles are coming, yey!

Very awesome that there are so many Exclusives that are high end titles. That said they need to get the word out better and advertise these things some more or something. For example you wouldn't know Hot Pursuit was even available if you weren't looking for it.
I will definitely be picking this one up!

God of War or Prince of Persia could heat things up, really!
oh am i dreaming?

Yeah man.... Comin soon

I have the game for the 360 and it's really fun, though I probably won't get it for the Play.

Looks awesome, played alot of tomb raider back in the days. I think it's starting to spread like rings in the water that this device is fantalastic
Will defo be a tittle i wil buy.
Regards Dousan...

Hopefully it will be cross-platform compatible for multiplayer like Dungeon Defenders.

Yawn, another months old iPhone port made for a quick buck. Not too exciting if you ask me.

Lol how could you not be excited about a game that received almost universally positive feedback coming to a device that is perfectly tailored for it? Hello, touchpads!
Why did you even buy this phone if something like this doesn't seem remotely cool?

Doesn't matter where it came from... The fact is, it wasn't available to us before... And now we are getting it.

Really? I love getting iPhone ports.
iPhone has a lot of great games, but iOS in general is too limited for them to be fully recognized. Porting iPhone games to Android removes everything that makes them limited... especially considering the Xperia PLAY - which has single-handedly changed the tides of smartphone gaming being un-ideal without buttons.

Quick ports for quick buck tend to be subpar, no matter how good the source material is. That's why I'm wary.

This is definitely great news for players who haven't played the game, I highly recommend this title, it's a great platformer with nice puzzle solving.
Only gripe is.. I have already finished the game on my computer :/

kershner25, Deoxlar, TLRtheory for the win!

Maybe Tomb Raider, Square Enix as a brand and mindless shoot'em up games stopped being cool in the neighborhood of 2000? I bought this phone because it allows me to emulate good older games, I don't give jack **** about 99% of the "new" games (mostly poor iPhone ports or glorified casual game divertimentos ). There are still no RPG worth their salt, no absorbing plots and no strategic games. Hell, I would fawn over a Final Fantasy Tactics port even, or Crystal Chronicles...
If you want to see me hyped, bring me weird or innovative games: Katherine, Hyperdymension Neptunia, Super Magnetic Neo... I've been holding console pads for almost 20 years, and I have witnessed how companies quit the innovation race long ago.

Tomb raider is far from a mindless shooter. Just like resident evil series, over the years the need to draw more "Casual gamers" into the series has forced the developers to tone down it's puzzle solving aspects. And as for Square not being cool anymore 2 words ..... Deus Ex

Deus Ex, Batman Arkum Asylum/City (Square Enix owns Eidos), Square Enix still makes great games.

Could use a bit more 'soul'. Feels very deserving of a name as generic as "Fight game"
Either way, I like Xperia PLAY exclusives. Does the full version have online versus? That's the one and only way I'm paying $5 for this.

so you're saying the movie "Fight Club" was undeserving?

This game is like Def Jam, instead with kickboxers. On a side-note, Alistair Overeem will beat Brock Lesnar come Dec 30th.

Not if brock can tackle his ass, think brock knows better now not to stand up and turtle with strikers. Live and learn.

It freezes after a match... Anyone else having this?

I got the same issue about freezing after a match ends
Xperia Play 4g 2.3.4

Bethesda's Post Production Testing Team approves this game.

Rules number 1 & 2 violations will not be tolerated, sir

Another case of graphics over substance. When will devs learn :| they think good graphics make good games i mean there is a reason why final fantasy VII or VIII is everyones favorite final fantasy and not XIII. And it 'aint the graphics.

Now that's what the **** I'm talkin' about!
Seeing Xperia PLAY Exclusive, fighting game, none of those bull**** touch controls, and online play all in the same sentence is music to my ears.
I now have like 400% more faith in this product, and are highly likely to buy when this update drops.
I do hope their mention of "amongst other things" means the production quality will be bumped way up, and I'm also hoping online play packs some kind of lasting appeal aspect. Just being able to kick someone's ass online for experience points leading up to a "Level Up" would do wonders; even if it doesn't actually increase any kind of stats.

Battle of steroids.. Brock will own Alistair w/his GnP skill.. TKO (punches) round 1 or 2.. But I hate Lesnar since his WWF/E days.. In fact I love to watch the replay of his fight against Cain.. But whoever wins on their match they have no chance against JDS.. What I want to see is Anderson Silva move up again to LHW division to face bones..
BTT
I hate games w/ in-app purchase but I will definitely try this game..

Bones will remain unbeatable for a long time, silva is tiny compared to him
And ya, i wouldnt be in a big rush to face jds.

I loved Lesnar's match against Angle when he went for a top rope moonsault & landed on his ****ing head!
Lesnar was FTW for the title & Angle had to carry his almost unconscious ass to the end.

Same as others.. I can only play 1 fight..

There's a 1.01 update for the game, it doesn't freeze anymore

Decided to go ahead and buy it in anticipation of the update that allows online play.
The only thing I'm disliking about it so far is that unlocking characters happens WAY too damn fast. All you do is play one career match, they set you up against someone you haven't unlocked... if you beat them, you unlock them.
I guess that is more time effective, but I'm used to having that whole sequence of playing through a whole arcade mode, unlocking one person, then you get the whole next playthrough to get accustomed to your new unlock. This way just sorta... feels like it devalues the experience of unlocking someone new. I blame Tekken for making me nitpicky about such a small thing

How i wish we can have Fight Night series like in IOS..

just going to wait for Street Fighter 4 for android.
and I do hope they'll release a Tekken title for God's sake.

Another World

It's on the Play Store!
...definitely a wonderful game, and known as a classic... but I think I'll keep my sanity for now
Everyone else, have fun!

lol beat me to it! The new HD graphics are a nice touch, never cared too much for this game on the pc so I figured I'd give it a fair shake.

I loved this game as a kid, had it on the megadrive, always got stuck on CLLD
I don't see the point of this being expensive though, it's not a long game, graphics although remastered are still blocky (In relation to other mega-drive/pc/amiga games) and they could have included the sequel released for sega cd with it.

Hi. My first post on here, but trust me, i was stalking this site for two years now.
Hello everyone, and lets get it straight. When I've noticed Another World title, i couldn't believe it, but here we are. The game that changed my childhood forever. Now on Android.

Ace! Next on the wish list - Flashback

Brothers In Arms 3 coming soon!

They have changed it to 3rd person shooter. Looks better than BIA-2 too. That one sucked big time. Gameloft have come a long way now. Hope this one is XPlay optimized.

Even if it is, graphics wont be as good as the ones in the pictures, and it will probably lag.
Sent from my Xperia Play

Please note that although it will be in 3rd person perspective, it will, however, be an ON-RAIL game.
Meh... excitement died. Pass.

Yea will be lie front line commando,

I think It's really nice game to play, with nice control and gameplay. Gameloft has announced the next versions of their popular Asphalt and Brothers in Arms games and the visuals are likely will blow our minds.

Does on rail mean the character moves by themselves and you just shoot?
Sent from my Xperia Play (r800x)

Yes. It's like being on a flat roller coaster where you are 'on-rail.' You are 'moved on' by the game to another section of the map once you clear an area in the map.

Some KEMCO games to look forward to...

Hi guys,
Thought this might interest you...
Here are some higher quality Kemco games on Google Play that have been released natively but will (hopefully soon) be finding an English language release.
Firstly RPG Alphadia Genesis:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=kemco.execreate.alphadiagenesis
Second (and one that I am looking forward to) is Soul of Deva:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=kemco.hitpoint.saiyugi
They both look great and better yet they are both XPERIA PLAY OPTIMISED!

There are actually quite a few kemco games that are not available outside of Japan that are XPO. Alphadia Genesis wont be out until either this month or next month. Sould Deva, presently has no plans of coming to the world, although Kemco has told me that before and some games have come out.... Like the recent Crimson Wolf and Destiny Fantasia. Aside from a few 95% of Kemco games released are XPO.

There are several other games XPO... Symphony of the Origin (sort of), Symphony of Eternity, Aeon Avenger, Knight of the Earthends..etc.

Alphadia Genesis is Xperia Play Optimised?! I'm ecstatic!

Sorry, somehow I missed the part about Alphadia Genesis being XPO.. I wrote my reply at 3am when I couldnt sleep.
This will mark the first Alphadia game to be XPO.... that is awesome!

So I have never played any of kemco's games. I have some questions. Should i play them in any order? If not which one would you recommend playing first? Should i try RPG Machine Knight first just to see if i like there games since it is free? Thanks in advance for the help.:good:

Sorry, have been at work all day and couldn't respond to any of your posts.
Ozzmanj, thanks for the links. I already have Fortuna Magus and a few others.
Yep TLRtheory, Alphadia Genesis really is XPO! Sweet huh!
Insane5125, Machine knight is a great place to start. It has really well fleshed out characters. KEMCO games have an old school charm to them that I think you'll enjoy.

Thanks for the response. I think I'll definitely try it out. Also one last question I saw that some of the games you play as multiple characters like Final Fantasy. Is this all Kemco games or do they mix it up?

It depends on the game. But a fair few of the Kemco games have you playing as different characters at different points in the story. I'm currently playing Fortuna Magus and I'm really enjoying that element of thew game. Have fun!

I have to say I am a huge fan of the Kemco games. I have paid for about 6 games lately in the last year where I have not had a chance to play them yet. But I buy them and leave feedback thanking Kemco for continuing to support the Xperia PLAY. I would hope that they see the comments and be more inclined to continue to do so.
