A victim of it's own realisticness. Way too dark.

I got this game last year and I have only just completed it. In a technical sense, this is indeed better than the other TR games. But I do feel that it is a victim of it's own realisticness. It starts off brilliant and great to play. Especialy the moving train effect. But once you get to the 'City of the Dead' things go downhill. I mean it gets so dark that even with the monitor on full brightness and the house lights out, you still have to lightflares to see whats what. There are also not enough flares to get around with either. Sure this would be the situation in real life, but in real life you have the advantage of 3D vision to guide you. Not in a game. Not only that, but the levels get boring towards the end aswell. It seems stupid that game programmers would spend out on high-tech graphics and creative innovations and then blanket them with an over abundance of darkness. Apart from that though. The sound is brilliant. The movies realy fit in well. Lara looks better and (if you can see them) the graphics are great too.

Really a fun game!

This game to me was the best in the series, although many will dissagree with that. Story line consists of her going to Egypt in search of an artifact that will save the world if she can get it before the posessed Prof Von Croy gets ahold of it.

A few really great things about this game include some of the best grapics i've seen in the Tomb raider series and quite possibly the best of its release time. Not to mention the great motors you can drive. The best part about it was the story line, which at times has you gripping to your seat.

The only negative thing I can think of is the few bugs this game has which i'm sure later versions took care of. I've only "bumped" into the bug once or twice and it was an accident (ie drawing a certain weapon in a certain frame etc).

I most certainly give this 5 stars for its story and its replay value

Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation is the fourth Lara Croft adventure game based entirely in Egypt. A very long and challenging game built on a nice engine with great graphics, Neat animations and neat sound effects. Good storyline and great gameplay with infinite saves. Awesome lighting effects and a creepy atmosphere. Great puzzles but a lot of annoying false paths. Very challenging gameplay but can be too challenging at times because no difficuly option. Good level design with a helpfull training level, But the hub level layout is very confusing and easy to get lost. A Lot of fun doing all the jumping but the controls are as usual very badly done, Auto aim is not perfect and the manual aiming is impossible. Enemy AI is super dumb. Tomb Raider Last Revelation well deserves 4 stars but i will give it only 2 because it does not have good key controls and a difficulty option.

Very hard, but very fun.

I'd have to say that this is the hardest 'Tomb Raider' game since the first, but it's also the most fun. Sure the Egyptian bulls are trying to kill you, while you jump out of their way so you can make them break buttons for your escape. And mummies are after you while you are trying to vacate the Burial Chambers, but that's only the first few levels. It gets alot more intense and creepy, but alot more fun. I finally won the game after a few months of playing, but hey, if I won it, anyone can.

This was my first Tomb Raider game and after playing all the rest, this one is still my favorite. (I'm waiting for the new one to come out!) The story line is great, the places your visit are breath taking, and it's full of adventure with great graphics. This Tomb Raider definetely gets five stars!

Fun and frustrating

Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation is a lavishy designed game. The game starts out from 16 year old Lara. The game is based on real places in Egypt. The graphics are great. The A.I are also more intelligent. After every stage there is a great movie to watch...it's like watching the " Mummy " ! In the game , Lara awakes Set and now must savethe world before the year 2000. Many interesting puzzles with one mistake: While solving these puzzles you may have to go to the previous stage to push a button or something...this makes it so frustrating...you will never know when the levels ends ! And I agree, this game is impossible to complete without a guide or cheat codes...but still the storyline is great...Get it to celebrate the closing of 1,000 years !

Lara is a Revelation in herself!

Tomb Raider is one of the finest action games.From the first to the latest sequel of the series interest remains alive all along.The Last Revelation is nevertheless,the most interesting compilation of elements and themes used in the past.The graphic construction of Lara is full skinned,an interesting point for all of us Lara Croft admirers! Full of action,traps and riddles that will keep your grey matter ticking.One thing is for sure:keep playing on Lara's side and you'll never grow old!

I HATE IT!

... Lara was too slow and it was hard to use the controls.I liked all of the Tomb Raider games better than this one. The only thing I liked about this game were the graphics. The graphics were the best I have seen yet.
I am sooo glad that I decided to rent it instead of buying first! Before you waste your money on this game, go rent it first, to see if you like it.

Major Disappointment

This game has lavish graphics but that is NOT enough. Game is extremely frustrating both to install and to play. When playing the game, the controls are too slow and have to be timed exactly right in order for them to respond.

Save your money on this edition--Maybe one day EIDOS will get a clue and fix the problems! Too bad because it is a great series concept.

The PC version DO NOT execute in Windows 98.

My review simply is: DON'T BUY! Not on the PC!

At least not until Eidos has issued a better patch to download on their website The present patch does not correct the fundamental problem:

An instant game termination as soon as it is installed in the Autorun. The autorun works fine but the Setup doesn't and the Play doesn't.

The game generates a Memory Page Fault exception and thus is unacceptable as a Windows application.

There is no game to play on the CD-ROM and until Eidos have corrected that it is a waste of money.

I have complained to Eidos themselves using the technical support e-mail. Hopefully a patch will arrive soon. Until then: Can't recommend, fellows.
