Why is her hair defying gravity?
Sunray
Its sunny somewhere.
Dunno, got her climbing up that plane and going along the tree, so not totally, but its a better game driver than just climbing about which Prince of Persia did far better anyway.

Instead of her tits?
She's upside down at first.
Yes she is upside down, but apart from her pony tail her hair is the right way up.

There have been some previews absolutely full of praise. It's not my sort of thing, but the OH has always enjoyed Tomb Raider games. I'll get it for him if user reviews in the week after release live up to the hype (and naturally if I do get it for him, I'll probably take it for a spin myself).

I'm kinda done with tomb raider as a franchise and i'm not sure what this brings to the table to bring me back into it. from what i've seen it doesn't seem to have tombs in this one

There are tombs. Have a read of some of the reviews.

seems more far cry 3 than Indiana Jones.
i don't know. it doesn't sound bad it just doesn't sound as appealing as i'd hope. i'm not that interested in the narrative aspect.

Incidentally I was listening to Women's Hour the other day and they had a piece about it - they were interviewing Rhianna (sp?) Pratchett, i.e. Terry Pratchett's daughter, who apparently writes professionally for games, including this one and also Mirror's Edge. She was only brought in relatively recently for this according to the interview so I would suspect had nothing to do with the fuckwitted comments by certain staff on the new plot.

There was a bit last year where the executive producer basically said there would be a sexual assault on Lara to be edgy (and also make the player want to "protect" her). Then lots of furious backpedalling. Iirc there were also some very dubious comments by an art director as well that came out at the same time.

I should make that clearer
i'm not interested in the story they are telling for this game.
I'm more after high adventure than dark and gritty survival.

same here, and TBH I've alway's wondered why so much work goes into a storyline when most of the players really just want to shoot monsters or build stuff (and then shoot monsters when they've finished building )
Especially when some of the storylines are

i love games with good storylines or at least great charactorisation. i just wasn't after this storyline for this character. tomb raider to me has always been over the top somewhat silly action. very much like Indiana Jones (which tomb raider was inspired by).
I have nothing against dark gritty stories of survival but i also want fun action adventure games. in this case i just feel a little disapointed by the way they have taken the series.

I heard a review on the radio. She said it wasn't ground breaking in any way but good enough in a blockbuster movie type way
The director of the game was Terry Pratchett's daughter who was quoted as saying that she wanted to make Lara Croft a more likeable and relatable character. So we start off with vulnerable young Lara turning into survivor Lara.
A mistake in my eyes as she already had an establish persona which people liked and bought in spades. They don't care about the journey to becoming kick ass. They want to escape their mundane lives by playing someone kick ass.

cashing reality checks but cant even pay atention.
Not alot of gameplay in that trailer, just hope they don't make it too easy and more story than puzzle.
