This game is not bad for an older game. Not as good as other TR games. The biggest problem is that on the last level, there is a bug that makes it almost impossible to finish the game. Well I suppose I got 90% of the game...What's going on with Aspyr!?!?

Chronicles!

Calling all fans! C'mon! This is great! Once you've gotten it, you'll never want to stop playing. Believe me! Lara is such a lovable lady! There are also new moves included to add EXTRA FUN!!!

Good, but still disappointing...

I've been a fan of the Tomb Raider series since the original game, and compared to parts 1,2 or 3, Chronicles is really quite good. Unfortunately, it comes in on the coattails of "Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation," and that's a tough act to follow. Whereas "The Last Revelation" (TLR) presented an epic story with a huge world to explore, "Chronicles" offers a series of mini adventures that basically amount to what could be considered a compilation of expansion packs. I won't sum up the plot here, since the other reviews already do that, but I will say that having a series of mini adventures is both positive and negative-- on the positive side, there's more variety in this game than in any of the previous TR games (with the possible exception of TR3.) On the minus side, none of the adventures really leave you feeling fulfilled the way TLR did.

Chronicles is easier than the previous games. Combat is far less frequent, and the fights are easy when they do occur. You won't die countless times trying to solve the same puzzles. You also won't get killed by traps that spring from nowhere. Unfortunately, despite Eidos' claim to the contrary, the game is significantly shorter than TLR. So, with the difficulty toned down, you can get through most of this game in just a few evenings.

The difficulty is raised considerably, however, when you reach the final levels in Von Croy's tower block. The last level is downright frustrating. Not only are you attacked by machine gun toting androids and heavily armed helicopters, you also have to deal with the fact that the designers opted to skimp on the availability of medpacks.

The level editor, which is included with the PC version, is a great toy for TR fans. Although it takes some work to make a decent level, it's great fun to tinker with. It also adds an incredible amount of life to the product. With the relatively short and unremarkable gameplay of Chronicles, the game itself seems like an add-on... I got far more enjoyment from the level editor.

A Big Challenge

If you are looking for an easy game like Harry Potter, don't get this game. Lara's adventures take you to Rome, a submarine,a haunted island, and a very high security building. Brand new weapons include an HK gun and a grappling gun. This game will give you hours and hours of fun.

Really Fun

Chronicles is a pretty good game. The only prob is, ive already finished it. I'm not saying its easy, but once you're done, it's pretty simplistic. I still love this game and recomend it to everyone

I think it is the best with tr3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In this fifth game Lara's friends gather at her mansion and tell four unprevious stories.The first is set in Rome where Lara hunts a small artifact,the philosopher's stone.Lara has two enemies which we see them in tr1,Larson and Pierre. The second was heavilly inspired by an old episode of x-files.Lara goes to a sub to search the spear of destiny.This spear was rumoured to be the one that a soldier have plagued it at Jesus.It had magical powers. In the third story we come up again with the teenage Lara that now she tries to uncover the secrets of a haunted irish island.And last in the fourth story Lara goes after the iris artifact.The main enemy in this story is WERNER VON CROY[ALTHOUGH WE DON'T FIGHT HIM,ONLY WE SEE HIM IN A MOVIE].
Lara must use all her stealth and wealth to infiltrate the VCI HEADQUARTETS!

Not Bad

I liked the game but it was short. Another two or three worlds would have been nice. I loved the level editor it was very easy and enjoyable.

One of the BEST!

Tomb Raider Chronicles is my fave TR (Tomb Raider) game (next to Tomb Raider 1). It has stunning graphics, a captivating plot, excellent characters, and interesting music. It's very challenging, and I was truly satisfied when I finished it--a must for any Lara Croft fanatic!

...And Stay Dead!!

This is a game only for members of the Tomb Raider Fanatics Club. If you remove all the hyperbole and wishful thinking. This game is just another rehash of the older, CHEAPER, Tomb Raider titles.

Sure, you have new weapons and some new moves but it all adds up to the same thing: A big yawn! The game's clipping problems and crazy camera angles made things even worse. People who gave this game a good review must have been in a very magnanimus mood, or they must really enjoy ogling Lara Croft's enormous "guns".

It's time for Eidos to stop milking this cash cow and deliver something different to the gaming public.

...!!! Tomb Raider: The Chronicles!!...

Tomb Raider the chronicles is great. I beat it before the week was up. I got the game on my birthday well, I got nothing to do so why not you know? I was so happy and I play it right way would you?

If you play TOMB RAIDER THE LAST REVLATION when you know that her friend's think she's dead but she not. Play the game to find out what is going on in the chronicles game.

Some of the level's are hard and some are easy.The places that you drop on by are:
1. rooftop's
2. high tech city
3. german u-boat

In this game use your brain to mind-boggling puzzle's
Have fun like I did so GOOD LUCK YOU GOING TO NEED IT.

Don't use so many of your small medi-pak and large medi-pak
the level's get harder each time ok.

!If you get lost don't get mad just think!
