I'm a conditional Tomb Raider fan; when the first one emerged, it really was pretty revolutionary. Gotta remember that it was the first real 'Indiana Jones' game (even if you were a hot British chick instead of Harrison Ford), complete with sprawling 3D settings, wall climbing, rope swinging, etc. Before it, 'adventure' games were generally stuff like Kings Quest...which I ain't knocking, mind, I love the old Sierra games...but you see my point.
The franchise rapidly took a turn away from the tomb raiding and into more of the action genre, though, and it sort of lost it's appeal for me. Legend got my attention again, and I've been awaiting this one to see what they could accomplish with it.
