Even though the first "Tomb Raider" was good, the second one is even better! I absolutely love "Tomb Raider 2"! Everything is much better then the first one. There's improved graphics, better locales, more weapons and enemies and awesome vechicles.
It was a blast to play! In fact, it's the only "Tomb Raider"(along with the original) game I fully enjoyed playing, and it's the only one I beat in the series.

Your beautiful Lara Croft, who travels around the globe, including China, Venice, a sunken ship, the Tibetian mountains and a Dragon lair, to retreive and find out about an ancient prized possesion called the Dagger of Xion.

Lara looks way better then the first one. She's better "developed" and her new moves are great. I also found there's more human enemies then in the first one, making Lara feel like an gunman then an archaelogist. But that's ok, since I really liked the locales. Out of all the breaktaking locations here in this game, I liked Venice the best, there you could drive boats, trapple gondolas, and kill many assassins. Along with the boats, you can ride a snowmobile!

I liked the characters and enemies in this game. You can encounter monks, yetis, sharks, as well as the ultimate foe, a gigantic, fire-breathing dragon, which appears at the end of the game. What a climax! I also liked the very last level, "Home Sweet Home" where you battle foes at Lara's mansion. There's also the usual challenging puzzles to solve, things to find.

Even though it's an old game, "Tomb Raider 2" is action-packed entertainment and the best entry in the series. You'll enjoy it to the last minute! I know I did!

the best ever!!!!!!!!!

The Rare Case Where A Sequal Stomps an Original

From the Great Wall of China to the canals of Venice, Tomb Raider II is the rare case in which a sequel is better than an original. In fact, I find this game to be my favorite of the series. In it the legendary Lara Croft sets out to find the Dagger of Xion. In her quest she navigates the globe, and even takes a couple of trips to strange and magical new worlds.

Tomb Raider II offers significant improvements over the original, and its game play exceeds the other games that follow in the series. The game has drastically overhauled weapons and artificial intelligence. Though the puzzles are not as hard as later versions, they still are quite difficult. Lara has new moves, many new weapons, and more dangerous foes. What more could a Tomb Raider fan - or even the casual gamer - ask for?

I highly recommend this game, whether you are an avid Tomb Raider fan or somebody new to the series. I don't believe you will be disappointed - in fact, you will probably find many hours of action filled entertainment. And if you do enjoy it, I strongly recommend other games in this series.

The best of the series

People will argue about the quality of TR 3-5 for all eternity. However, there is no denying that Tomb Raider was one of the most influential games of all time. TR 2 is twice as good. While similiar in control and gameplay, the graphics are upgraded and the story is a lot better. The addition of vehicles is pretty sweet, and the music is once again incredible. The voice acting is also commendable, although it always takes me awhile to get used to Lara's voice since Eidos always gets a different actress for every game.

This game has it all. It is fun, and one of the best games ever made for the original Playstation.

Story: 8/10
Graphics: 10/10

Fun: 10/10

These Tomb Raider games are getting better and better. Again filled with non-stop action and mind-boggling puzzles you will easily find this game extrememly addictive. With a few improvements on the first game like being able to ride a snow ski, a motor boat through venice, new enemies in a story line that takes you all over the world plus, my favourite, you can save where ever you like to. No more waiting desperately for a save gem when you're nearly out of life and about to perform a death defying feat that will more than likely get you killed. Yay!! One of the best Playstation games around - RECOMMENDED!!

Better game, but less soul.

If Tomb Raider is Indiana Jones, then Tomb Raider 2 is James Bond. Alot of TR fans don't like this game, mainly because it has too much shootem'up elements to it than it should. I agree. But that dosn't make it bad. Infact TR2 is the most playable game of all the TR's. It dosn't have those irritating dark scenes too much. Lara actions are better. And the puzzles are better thought out. I'm also a fan of Far Eastern art. So the last levels realy felt good to explore. I'm giving this 4 stars because alot of the levels, although great to play, don't have the original soul of Tomb Raider. I would rather explore an Incan Ruin than Venice, or, Atlantis than an Oil Rig. You get my point. But I still like playing it and I have never tired of it.

The further adventures of Miss Croft

Back again, and armed with her trusty pistols and a complete disregard for the endangered species list, Lara Croft sets off in search of the fabled Dagger of Xian.

This time around she ventures to The Great Wall of China, Venice, a drilling rig, a sunken ship, the Tibetan Himalayas before returning to China. New features abound that weren't in the original. Lara can use vehicles, careening round Venice in a speedboat is a hoot, but even that's topped by the snowmobile level in the Himalayas. She has new equipment - flares for the pesky dark areas, a grenade launcher and best of all - an M-16 assault rifle.

This time the Mafia are out to stop her and a bunch of Buddhist monks can actually help her as long as you don't open fire on them by accident. The endfight is very, very difficult and the learning curve is not as good as on the first game, assuming that the player has already completed that but that's a minor quibble.

Lara herself has been tweaked, she looks better with the full ponytail swinging about. She can scale walls now and the training level set in her manor now includes an assault course to let you perfect control before you begin. All in all a delighful romp.
