This game was just.... how can I say... TERRIBLE! The onlydecent TR was TR2! The series just got old after that. This gamedoesn't even deserve 1 star! I would give it 0 if I could! Stay away from this one at all costs!

VERY FUN

TR:TLR IS A GREAT ADDITION TO THE FIRST THREE. IT IS MUCH MORE DIFFICULT ARE VERY INTERESTING. LARA CAN DO MANY MORE THINGS ON THIS ONE THAN THE OTHERS. SHE CAN CLIMB POLS SWING ON ROAPS ETC. I'D ROCCOMEND THIS GAME FOR EVERYONE.

An exciting game

This is a very exciting game, the only thing is i did not really want to review the game. I just needed some help. I dont know whether there's something wrong with my game or if there is a secret I just don't know about. I can't get passed the second screen where the Egyptian sets fire after I open the gate for him. If somebody could reply I would appreciate it.

It is however a great adventure.

Bad, very bad

You think that after 5 of the exact same games were released (only differance being the title, TR , TR2, TR3, TR4 AND SO ON) YOU WOULD REALLY THINK PEOPLE WOULD GET TIRED OF THEM, I KNOW I DID. THE AMAZING THING IS THEY NEVER CHANGE I SEE NO DIFFERANCE IN ALL THE GAMES AND THERE ALL BAD. I WWOULD NOT GET THIS TIRED GAME. Try something new and better like Indiana Jones.

TLR - Beating a dead horse.

If you've already played Tomb Raider II and/or III, don't bother with this game. Aside from a few new tricks, this game adds little to its predecessors. In fact, its less challenging. After wasting my time playing this tedious game to the end I was almost glad to see the final scene.

Run -- don't walk -- FROM Tomb Raider

As the Microsoft logo on the opening screen would leat you to guess, this game was clearly a simple PORT of a computer version to Dreamcast. True to all previous Tomb Raider games, the controls seem to be deliberately botched. It shouldn't take ten minutes of backing up and approaching a lever in order to find the one-pixel hotspot that allows you to interact with it. Furthermore, the graphics are dreadful. The Resident Evil and House of the Dead teams did a great job making use of the DC's awesome rendering capabilities. But not CODE, who couldn't even do as good a job as Quake 1 for the PC. CODE has released a total lemon in this game. Don't even rent it.

Should come with horseshoes

I, like most who have played this game, am a huge fan of the Tomb Raider series. I especially enjoy the puzzle solving of the first game and the action/adventure element and increased pace of the second one. This series starts off promisingly enough. Outside of a mandatory (groan) training level, the game eases you into the tried-and-true Tomb Raider gameplay we all have grown to love. The environments are large and exciting, the puzzles clever. Exploration is fun and rewarding, and progress is logical. For the first 6 or 7 hours. The challenge level really picks up after the VERY neat train level, and in fact starts to become downright maddening. Do we really have to backtrack for 3 hours just to find 7 scattered items required to make it through to the next level? Things get flat-out obnoxious at the Chambers Of Tulun and the Trenches. This area goes something like this: rope swing to hit a switch that unlocks an invincible guy in a room. Go to the Citadel Gate level to obtain a nitrous oxide canister. Return to the Chambers and go to the Trenches. Obtain the nitrous oxide feeder. Return to the Chambers of Tulun to obtain the roof key. Go back to the Trenches to get to the Street Bazaar. Get the car jack and mine detonator so you can get back to the Trenches. And so on and so on and so on. Is this mad jumble of item dispersion that is being passed for level design really necessary? I really enjoy the high challenge level of the Tomb Raider series, but this is ridiculous. If I didn't have a strategy guide with me, I wouldn't have made it to the Citadel (which is where I am right now). This game is loads of fun for about 20 or 25 levels; afterwards, it becomes a chore to play. The graphics and presentation have not been improved drastically since the first Tomb Raider, and the legendary level design has regressed considerably. Many spots feel cheap, rather than challenging. Control, while still functional, still isn't perfect, and it causes every jump to be deliberate and nerve-wracking. If you miss and survive, then you have to make another series of jumps, which can take another 10 minutes just to get back to where you originally were. I could go on and on, but this game is just too much. Get this only if you're a die-hard TR fan; but be prepared to fork out some extra cash for a strategy guide.

Too much Tomb Raiding

I'm a huge fan of the TR series, and I like the movies as well. TR1 and TR2 were the best in terms of story, pacing and action. The CG sequences were cooler too. I hate to say it, but I'm disappointed in this game. TOO SLOW! The levels go on forever, and there's nothing to keep your interest. Ocassionally you will have a ninja jump out at you, or some scorpians, but that's not enough to keep you interested.

The other problems is the levels require too much backtracking and are too complicated. I got stuck numerously and ending up getting a code off the internet to skip levels. The beginning of the game shows promise with young Lara, and there is a very cool level where Lara has to manuver a jeep in the desert and over cliffs and whatnot.

I don't know what I can recommend instead of this one, but I would say rent it or get it for cheap like $5 or less used or new. She tomb raids for too long with little payoff.

Lots of FUn for veteran players

I think that this is te best game of the series. The graphics are improved from the previous games, and definately more complicated. The egyptian adventure features intertwined levels, a storyplot that goes back to the origins of Lara Croft, better control methods than the earlier games, and even better cheatcodes :P. I do not recomend this game for beginner players. If, however, you have played the other tombraider games, or are up to a challenge, this is definately the game for you.

Laras' best adventure yet!

There's not much to say other than this is one fantastic game! The graphics are pretty amazing. It may be more difficult than the three previous games, but I find it to be more entertaining also.
