Tomb Raider!Tomb Raider! Sorry, I hated this...

I have to admit that I never was a victim of the "Tomb Raider Hype Machine". I liked the idea of a 3rd person perspective game where your character can do alot of tricks but the whole idea of the big-boobed Lara Croft just turned me off. I bought this for 4 bucks at the used software house and played it for about 2 hours. I liked the save game feature somewhat, it should be more specific. I felt like banging my head against a wall after be killed for the 50th time because I did'nt hit the "jump" button in the right sequence with the "run" button at the correct prescribed time. The interface is just too rigid for a game like this, it reminded me alot of that old "Dragon's Lair" game. And I got real tired of the stupid puzzles. I think the real reason for TR being so popular is that its the first non-adult game with a overly-endowed female protagonist. It can't be because of the gameplay.

What the? Distribution Fluke?

I got this for a gift becausemy parents were tricked into thinking this was the full game, as many people are, i'm sure. Whoever distributes this has got to make clear on THE BOX that this is not the full version. The version I got came in a full sized software box and cost as much as a two year old FULL game, considering how fast games improve. Even if I was buying amd I knew it was a demo I would not pay more than a few dollars because it has no options,(anyways, if you want a DEMO, you can get them free off the internet, usually from the distributors web site.) such as to change the controls, or even see what the controls are!

I bought this on accident. I thought I was buying the TRIIgame, so I just want to make sure you don't make the same mistake. Itdoes contain 3 levels from the real TRII game, but not with all functions that the game offers. ie, video clips. If you are looking for something to cheaply show you how TRII works, then buy it. But if you are going to spend the money, you might as well just buy the real game and truly enjoy your purchase. END

got to get it !!!!!!!

What can I say this is a fun demo. This contains the first 3 levels from the game and comes with tomb raider 3 demo final fantasy 7 and many more. This game does not have the tutorial cutscenes and options but it has the secrets and weapons of the real game. I give this four stars because it doesn't have options cut-scenes and others but thats okay it is still fun. By the way you cannot download these three levels online, only a bit of the first.

This game is ridiculously addictive and excellent. I literally can't stop playing the thing. However, there are places where you could put yourself into a situation in which you have to go back and repeat the previous level in order to avoid a non-correctable error. Overall, very enjoyable, and even entertaining to watch someone else play. Graphics are fabulous.

The best of the TR series

If you don't own this game and you like the TR series, I recommend buying it. It is such an improvement over TR (which is a great game) and it is much funnier than TR3 (too hard.) Lara kicks butt in this game and I love playing it.

THIS IS MAJOR LEAGUE FUN!

Okay, I already wrote a review for this game but stuipidly put it to the wrong program, and put it in, ASPYRA media, which I played it on EIDIOS, I just love EIDIOS....Okay, well, the graphics are great, for the second, but wait till you play all the others! WOW! It is fun, to go to all the places, and it is true if you miss doing something in the other level, your out of luck and have to reload your other game and try again! Whats the fun in that! The one thing I didn't like about the game, was that Lara's furniture was 20 times bigger then her! Her bath tub was a swimming pool! That was just, why? Okay, the story line is great, and this game can give you some spooks! THings popping up outa no where! WOW! When you get to the dragon's oh that is fun! And the yetis, and the big snowman! SCARY stuff! I just recommend this to anyone, who likes role playing games, it's just plain old good fun!

Very well done and put together sequel

I have to say, there were a few levels in the original Tomb Raider that were slightly boring, it was still a good, challenging game though. This second one was is just superb.

The graphics have improved a lot and the animation is much smoother. Lara also responds to key commands better too. Plus, Lara no longer has her hair tied up. It swings around depending on what she's doing. More weapons have been added including harpoon guns for use underwater and heavy machine guns and explosives. She can climb and wade in water now too. She comes in different clothings depending on which area you are in.

Now don't think that this game was popular because of the our female character, Lara Croft. This game in itself is fun and addictive. I can't really find a single level that was really that dull. I think maybe perhaps a few of the tibet levels were a bit of a mess. Other than that, the Venice and Underwater levels were fun and fascinating. This game doesn't do as much tomb raiding as the first game did. In fact, you only go tomb raiding near the end of the game. However you do get to explore a sunken ship, so i guess that's tomb-like. It's still a good game. The levels look as though they have all been thought out and carefull designed.

I don't quite understand how some people cannot stand the puzzles and action in the game. If you're hoping this is another Doom, Heretic, Hexen, or Quake game, then you'll be disappointed. In no way is this a game where u mindlessly blow people away with gunfire. Tomb Raider 2 is a fun non-violent game with minimal amounts of blood. Those who enjoy shooting and killing creatures without much thinking and challenge involved can go play their doom games. This is something different and probably much better.

They just keep getting better, and better.

This is the first TR game I ever played, and its still my favorite of all of them. Although I am a little spoiled by the newer games, what with Lara's new and improved moves and all. this one still rocks!
Tomb Raider II takes Miss Croft to China, Venice, and even the bottom of an ocean liner the Maria Doria among other places. Woah!
This is a worthy sequel though. A few minutes worth of play and you'll forget how old the technonlgy is. You'll just be wrapped up in the game, and its exciting storyline.
Among the more maddening levels are: the Opera House, 40 Fathoms, and the Temple of X'ian, which is incredibly loooong.
I just love the way Tomb Raider, not just this one but all of them, coencides with geographical places. Its awseome man!
Anyway, this is a game that is just completely out-of-this-world-great, that you should own. Its just the best.
