I love it! Could tomb raider possibly be the best series of games ever created?! Being a kid, I'm used to the new really great graphics. But graphics in the tomb raider games are still pretty good. I really love playing these great games!

this game lacked the ability to live up to name "Tomb Raider" its more of a "City Raider" half the levels deal with city-time scenery. and 80% of the enemies are humans. more like a 007 than a Tomb Raider - but the game play is fun in the cities (Venice) so i cant complain too much - just wasnt feelin the whole China scene. I liked to level skip those. and the twist at the end was a lil boost - so all in all ill give it 5stars - but it lacked challenge for me - i beat it in a week. just run around and jump for the most part.

Its not a walk in the park

I saw a persons reveiw on Tomb Raider 2 he said its easy he also said hes only up to the opra house he shouldnt get too confident because the dragons lair 40 fathoms and ofshore rig are waiting for him. in ofshore rig you start of with no weapons inside a big cage full of blocks blocking a switch to get out in 40 fathoms you must kill about five sharks in your UNDERWATER!!!!! search for land and in the Dragons lair you must kill a huge dragon he cant fly but he breaths fire so dont belive this will be a walk in the park.

The original TOMB RAIDER was a great game. Yes, the graphics weren't excellent, but it was a very fun, ground-breaking game. And yet the absoloutely fabulous sequel, TOMB RAIDER II, is even better.
This time, the famous Lara Croft goes in search of the Dagger of Zion, although again there is someone else trying to beat her to it. The dagger is said to give those that owns it 'the power of the dragon.' (SPOILER:) At the end of the game, the sinister man beats Lara to the knife, and when he turns into a huge dragon, you are forced to battle him in a breath-taking finale.
Lara has some new moves in this game - she can even climb ladders - and she has new costumes and even vehicles too. You can drive in a speedboat in Venice and a snowmobile among icy mountains.
The film is alot of fun, very addictive. You could play the game every day. Infact, I believe that TOMB RAIDER II is the best installment in the TOMB RAIDER series that has been available on PLaystation for several years.
Once again, the graphics are disappointing, with little detail. However, Lara this time has a ponytail that moves in the wind!
So, enjoy the game, because I can't see how you can't. Many complain that it has too much action and loses the 'feel' and 'soul' of the original game, but isn't it action that makes these kind of games so great!

Gameplay: 5/5
Graphics: 3/5
Overrall: 5/5

A major Tomb Raider fan, I decided to play all the games over again and finished both part one and now part two and they're both still as great as I remember. I think both are strong and worthwhile games with great plots but Tomb Raider Two is more tough, but that's the point of a sequel. It's longer (or at least it felt that way, especially when it came to the Ocean part of the game) yet I enjoyed playing it.
Both Tomb Raider One and Two have interesting plots and both are different. In Tomb Raider Two it has to deal with a Dagger that throughout the story grows more important to find and soon. You go through many different levels than you did on Tomb Raider one- including the Floating Islands- which is one weird level but very fascinating. My favorite levels were in Venice, the places in Tibet and yes the Floating Islands. Home Sweet Home level was a little scary- being attacked in her own home!- but I thought it was a good twist. The ending itself was tougher than the first one that's for sure, and I did say a few curse words while trying to finish the game, but eventually when I did finish I knew that it was worthwhile. I had to get a strategy guide nonetheless to beat this game, because indeed in many levels it was a little too tough for me to figure out, but then there's no shame in getting a little help.

Overall the game is more hard and challenging and just as creative in plot as part one was (the storylines are way good). I enjoyed it and I recommend it to everyone who loved part one.

The Best Adventure

Of all the Tomb Raiders, this has to be my favorite, for gameplay and technical reasons. This backdrop of adventure is interesting and the closer you get to the "big Boss" the more eerie the game feels in music, puzzles, and adversaries. It was extremely well constructed. Of the series, I compare this to the other games. It seems like the designer was very careful in making this feel complete from the beginning and it flowed well to a dramatic finish. It had a great story and movie feel to the adventure.

Technically as a PS player, I liked the ability to save multiple times to get some of the tricky moves down (being new to TR) and it gave me the chance to replay levels that were fun after all was said and done. Enjoy!

The Best Tomb Raider Game Ever!

I started out with TR1 and got stuck when I got to level 5 "St. Francis' Folly," so I tried TR2 and found it the best (with some help from a friend)! The levels are long and the enmies are not too challenging. I'm only in the level 4 "Oprea House," but so far it is 'da best. I only have TR1, Tr2,and TR3, but TR2 is by far my personal favorite. Sure I'm only 11, but I am intitled to my opinion and here's what I have to say. BUY THIS GAME OR YOU WILL NEVER HAVE A TRUE TASTE OF THE TOMB RAIDER SERIES!!!!!!!!

Still holds up

The first Tomb Raider was a classic in terms of its 3D gameplay, sense of exploration through massive levels, and a unique main character. The 2nd installment in the TR series is not much different. The levels are still HUGE, and exploration is still the name of the game. But this time around, the environments and enemies are more varied, there are more action-based enemy sequences than the first, and the difficulty level has been approriately increased. In terms of the level of challenge, I feel that this is the best in the series. The later Tomb Raider series felt frustrating and downright cheap at times. This one is definitely not a cakewalk, but is very possible without a strategy guide. You don't feel as though you have to play for half an hour just to get into the next room. Progress is slow, but steady, and you don't ever need 6 or 7 different items to move on. Progress is more based on actually getting where you want to go rather than finding the right items or hitting the right combination of switches. Some of the level designs are incredible, such as the Venice-based levels, the Opera House, the beastly Barkhang Monestary and the massive Temple Of Xian. This is the key strength of the first two TR installments, and why the more recent ones have been less inspiring. Resourcefulness and attention to the environment is extremely key, as medipacks are in light supply in this game. Also, every level has 3 secrets in the form of dragons. You do not receive the bonus items unless you find all 3 dragons in the level, making exploration even more vital in building your inventory. Finding at least 2 of the dragons in every level should be quite easy, but some levels have one especially well-hidden dragon. The gold dragons in the first two levels are remarkably difficult, but the reward of finding them (especially the first one) is worth it. If you didn't like the first Tomb Raider, this game won't change your mind. If you were blown away by the first installment (or even the 3rd, 4th or 5th) then this game is a real treat.
