Lara Croft has made a new comeback and she is more amazing than ever before. Fans and newcomers alike will simply be enthralled.
First off is the handling. Movement in this game is key to survival and your options are not limited in any sense. From scaling cliffs to moving in combat, Lara moves with un matched fluidity.
Combat is something you actually look forward to. She is able to carry her pistols and another weapon. She is also able to enter a type of bullet-time mode to take out enemies with ease. You are also able to use the environment as a tool of destruction for those who stand in your way.
The story is excellent and keeps your heart racing at a thousand beats a minute. The only drawback for the entire game is that the story is a bit short, so play the game in the hardest mode and take your time.
Puzzles can be vast and varied and can take a bit of unconventioanl thinking to work out. Lara also has some devices such as her binoculars and grappling hook to help with these puzzles or plan out a plan of attack.
So all in all, the new gizmos, weapons, overall style of gameplay and story will have you begging Lara for more!

I'm not even remotely a Tomb Raider fan. In fact, I hated all the previous ones. But this latest installment proved to be worthy of a place among the finest games. Legend delivers in all aspects of greatness. The graphics are incredible, the environments are beautiful, and the gameplay is most definitely inspired by the new Prince of Persia titles, which means it resembles the best. The voice acting in English is good, but the German track is to die for (you'll have to set your XBOX to Deutsch to hear it - subtitles are available in English if needed). Although the game is short, it is quite re-playable, with all sorts of hidden stuff to find (or use gamefaqs to find...). I love this game, and have only two minor complaints. The first is the cliche: it's pretty short. About seven hours. The second is when you are trying to jump hanging from ledges, the directional control changes with the camera angle, causing occasional oops-I-just-jumped-into-oblivion moments. Luckily checkpoints keep you from losing too much progress. Anyway buy this game even if you've never played Tomb Raider or think the movies sucked (I won't express my opinion here), it is worth your money.

Well. I have to say I was so excited when I heard that Tomb Raider was now available on the Xbox. I have been playing Tomb Raider since it first came out. I have won all of the games and am a huge fan of most of them. I have to say, though, that Tomb Raider Legend is now my favorite Tomb Raider Game. It was so nice to have Lara back in tombs again (not to mention she looks so much better)!!! I also enjoyed the puzzles in this game. They are not quite as challenging as the puzzles in Tomb Raider 1, but they are still a lot of fun.

If you are looking for a good escape, I would recommend Tomb Raider Legend. They hit the mark with this game. Now if they would just redo Tomb Raider 1 with better graphics..... That is my dream!

This game is great

This game is great, there are not many good action Xbox games for girls and this one is a great one, this game has strong acrobatic skills plus lots of action. My daughter loves it and can't stop playing it

Best Tomb Raider Yet

This round Lara is swept up in quite a few new adventures. There are more new moves, more complex puzzles not to mention more difficult enemys to destroy. The Croft Manor is a fun puzzle in itself as well. Over all a great addition to the Tomb Raider game list.

Nicely done!

As many others have stated, the older TR titles have been fun but hard to control. Legend gets it right!

I am now on level 3 and I have to say Legend is well done indeed and is a blast to play. The cinematic cutscenes as well as the interactive cutscenes are wonderfully done. The in-game graphics as beautifully rendered and as you play you can't help but stop to look around and enjoy the landscapes such as waterfalls and mountainsides.

I have only played TRL in two sittings so far so I cannot tell how long the game will take except from what I have read in other reviews...approximately 7 hrs give or take. My goal is to complete one level per day due to the fact that I work a full time job in my career.

The levels are fairly long too, but not too long to get tedious. They are pretty much the right length.

I did get to ride the Ducati yesterday and it was a nice break in the gameplay. Variety makes a game good and keeps you interested and TRL seems to have that.

As far as how much the game is worth paying due to the length..well that is entirely up to you. I found a copy on clearance for only $10 and it is well worth it.

I do at some point recommend this title to anyone interested in Indiana Jones type genres due to the fact that TR is basically a female Indy. =)

Great fun climbing, exploring, fighting bosses, solving puzzles and collecting more than 100 hidden tokens. If you need more challenge, the time trails for each mission will keep you busy. Hope to see more TR for Xbox in the future.
