The reason why I bought this game is because I went to see Lara Croft Tomb Raider ( thats a great movie, see it). I loved the movie and i knew the games rule. The first game i bought was tomb raider chronicles. its great, the graphics were brilliant, and she has cool weapons. The stories were good, and it will keep you busy for hours. Please get this game and all the others. She is soooooooo cool. Be sure to get Tomb Raider Angel of Darkness, coming this November
Too many bugs!

Okay... the first few levels were fun, especially the level with the teenaged Lara in one of her first adventures. However, "Red Alert" has so many bugs in it that I finally gave up playing in despair. I've never given up on a game before, but this was finally more frustrating than fun.
Why?

It's amazing how popular the Tomb Raider games are. While the first one was great, and revolutionary for its time, all the four sequels are rehashed abominations with no new ideas that just don't cut it when compared to any decent modern games. Why these games continue to sell is a mystery. Can it be true that people can't look past Lara?

I GAVE THE GAME ONLY ONE STAR, BECAUSE I HAVE NOT OPENED THE BOX IT CAME IN. I ORDERED THIS ITEM FOR THE COMPUTER BY MISTAKE; I SHOULD HAVE ORDERED IT FOR PLAYSTATION ONE; SO NOW I HAVE TO RETURN IT, FOR MY SON DOES NOT HAVE A COMPUTER AT HIS HOME. MY GOOF UP, NOT ANYBODY ELSES.
I have a question

"It is a cold, dark, rainy day. With the memorial service for Lara Croft over, her old friends retire to the Croft Mansion. As they sadly collect their thoughts, they reminisce about Lara's past adventures...
Meanwhile...
Hundreds of miles away, Werner Von Croy co-ordinates the frantic dig - searching for answers buried deep beneath the Egyptian desert."
So reads the 3rd page in the PC manual of Tomb Raider Chronicles.
I've played all the way from the 'Streets of Rome' to 'Red Alert' so far, and I must say, this game has been wonderfully challenging to me. Why this game has gotten bad reviews from countless gamer-zines, it may be because the reviewer simply couldn't figure out how to get past the boss in Trajans Markets, but I digress. TRC comes with 2 CDs, one of the game, and the other of the level editor.
I'm impressed with both of these programs, but I do have a gripe about the level editor:
It is VERY hard to work with, and it likes to crash. Don't get me wrong, being able to create a real live level and PLAY it, kicks ar$e, but I think Eidos could've designed this thing a little better and easier for non-professional programmers.
With the awesome graphics, challenging puzzles, and great game play, TRC is very well worth it's weight in gold.
(Btw, for all who are wondering; Lara isn't dead)
