    Wasn't expecting much from this, but the reviews seem glowing so far: 
    Eurogamer - 9/10 
    Joystiq - 4.5/5 
    Game Informer - 90 
     
    Anyone thinking of buying this?

    Wow, surprised at the Joystiq review. They seemed pretty down on the game on the last podcast for not having co-op at launch.
     
    I want to play this, but might be waiting until the co-op goes live.

    I want to see a QL for this because I haven't seen much gameplay so far.

    @mracoon: There already is a QL for it, just a head's up. 

    And that is surprising.  I was expecting it to be a huge flop.

    @RipTheVeins:  

    It seems the QL was taken down. I saw it yesterday but every time I go to the QL page it redirects me to the original video's page.

    I've already doomed myself to buying all the Summer of Arcade games to get the $15 back, so I'm glad to hear it's not complete crap.

    I wasn't going to pick it up but after watching the quick look, I'm very interested. I think I just need the okay from Giant Bomb and I'll grab it.

    This was my favorite game at E3 so I'm not surprised to see the love.

    With its offline coop this is a definite purchase for me. Just need some spare change, since I've still got Mafia 2 to pay for next week D=

    This game is definitely worth the purchase, sure the no online stuff is a shame but that'll come eventually.  Play it locally with friends/family in the time being.  It's a lotta fun, loads of replay value.  It's nice to have a really cool coop-focussed game like this.  This is one of the best Summer of Arcade games for me.

    I'm a sucker for the Tomb Raider property (although technically this is not part of it), so I'll be buying it later this week. 
     
    EDIT: it seems like this game has some decent length for a downloadable. I'll buy two.

    Same with GB and they gave it 4 stars.  Definite buy once it gets co-op.

    I'm really thinking about buying it, though I've never had much interest in Tomb Raider games before.
