This game is a step in the right direction. I liked it, even though it wasn't very challenging. The puzzles were easy to figure out, the game is EXTREMELY short, but it did remind me of the "old school" raider games.

I hate the fact that you have to go through Time Trials to open more of the game. Rushing through these stages is of no interest to me. This is a "slow paced" style of game. Why hurry it?

The mansion is right out of the movie. Can you go outside? Either they took that out, or I just plain missed it. That was always a fun part of the game.

I'm glad I bought it for 19.99 because it's not worth more. It's easily a five day rental. The next one needs to be a little longer to get the money's worth out of it.

Wow

I love this game it is the reason I got the PS2 so I could continue palying them. I love this game. I love the graphics and challenge of it. Some use a walk through others just figure it out on their own and it can take a long time to figure out. I can play it over and over.

Unfortunately Eidos never could appreciate the what a gold mine the Lara Croft series could have been. The Legend is clearly a major improvement in the Croft series with stunning graphics and story line. The keyboard has also improved from 4 flats to retreads but still needs work. Parts of this game still involves more fighting with the keyboard to get things done but is more the exception than the rule.
The second game in this video is Croft Manor which is separate from Legend and gets extremely high marks if you like puzzle solving and critical thinking. This section will keep you pleasantly hooked from the getgo. The fact that Angelina Jolie turned this series into blockbuster movies is a testament to the success of the Croft concept. Had EA or Vivendi Games had this series from day one, the Lara Croft games would have surpassed Halo, Doom and Call of Duty in a heartbeat to clearly be the best series in video history. The Croft series needs to be remade with the serious investment it requires at the very least. Lets hope Eidos gets bought out!

A sharp change from previous Tomb Raider games

I can give you a little quiz that should tell if you like this game. Did you play any Tomb Raider game from 1 to 5 (we don't talk about TR6 in civilized society) and hate it? You'll probably like this. Played one of those and loved it? You'll probably be disappointed.

New developers have taken over the Tomb Raider legacy and they've changed a lot of the things that us TR fans loved and TR haters couldn't stand. In previous games, the controls had a steep learning curve, but would give you unparalleled control over Lara's movements. Legend has basic mouse + WASD controls now. The puzzles that made TR an action adventure game rather than just an action game have been thrown out. The level design is quite boring and mostly consists of a whole lot of jumping from one place to another. TR used to have quite complex and interesting levels, so I'm rather disappointed by this.

Lara herself is no longer the strong, sophisticated and mysterious character she used to be, but is now a friendly, social, sporty type instead. The secret, mystical locations that filled previous TR games used to fill me with excitement and suspense. The more realistic archaeological environments of Legend are interesting, but certainly not as exhilarating. Zip from TR5 is back, but he is no longer the fun, snarky character he once was.

What Legend definitely did do right was the graphics, which are lovely. I also like that they have a real physics engine, which is new. The AI is excellent, but TR has been ahead of its time on AI for a long time now, so that is nothing new.

This game certainly isn't terrible, it just doesn't have any of the things that made Tomb Raider great. The Tomb Raider fan base is going to experience a dramatic shift since these new developers took over. There are better games out there, but there are definitely a lot worse games out there, too.

I have been a TR fan since the begining. After many disipointments TR 3 all the way thrue Angel of darkness (definatly the worse game ive ever played). I feal Legends although a Bit short is the best TR game realesed ever. Visualy stuning easy to control and full of fun. I have played it thrue 3 times and finaly found all the secrets, but still find myself wanting a little more I hope the sequal comes out soon.

Lara. We'll be waiting for you in part 2 of this story!

I love the game it' awesome the whole gun thing and Lara Croft is sorta pretty,But the way you push a crate is hard the targeting is difficult. When she tosses a grenade you normally look up to throw higher ,but instead of going farther it falls near her causing her to take damage. Also when you look up and try to use her cable thing it's hard to attach it to your target. Other then that good game should have been longer ,but it's good for a third person shooter.
