Video Game Reviews of Tomb Raider: Legend
Customer Review: A Bit Disappointing
Summary: 3 Stars
Well I am not a game expert or top notch player. I play for fun to kill some time. I have played all the past TR games, and enjoyed them. First of all with Legend, I thought the improved graphics were almost breathtaking, almost brought Lara to life. Although if you do not have a recent system it will slow you down. I was really frustrated with the new controls though, it took me a bit to just to be able to move around efficiently. I miss some of the old safeguards for us NON-professional game players, like being able to walk up to a edge without falling off. Quick saves and loads. Being able to collect multiple health packs and flares to use when you really need them.
I felt it needed more backstory, and more interesting levels. All in all its almost worth buying for the graphics alone. Nice to finally see Lara looking more realistic. But Edios needs to work on their storyboards, and control interface to make the game playable for all levels of gamers.
Customer Review: Pathetic development and game play
Summary: 1 Stars
What a waste of my hard earned money!
I have been a long-time fan of the Tomb Raider games until the previous one and this one. The so-called user manual that comes with this game is useless. Having to engage in game play during a cutscene is just plain stupid. Additionally, the movement is not the same as the earlier games, which makes it even more difficult to move around without falling off of a ledge. No where in the manual does it say you have to jump when using the grapple; I figured that much out on my own. Oh, and what is the point of having the ability to save a game when it only takes you back to your last checkpoint? What happened to the shortcuts for saving games?? Why should I have to escape out of the game every time I want to save it?? Why can she carry only three health packs??
Even worse, the guide that I bought, by piggyback interactive, does not explain how to play the game on a PC; only game consoles. In case they haven't figured it out yet, not everyone owns or wants a game console.
I am not at all impressed with the developers or development of this game. If this is a port over from the game consoles, then the developers did a sorry job.
I am through buying these games. They can come out with five more and I'd take my money elsewhere; I would encourage others to do the same. This game, like the previous game, is going on my shelf to collect dust. Both are so bad I don't even want to give them to anyone, much less try to sell them to anyone.
Eidos could take some pointers from Microsoft when it comes to developing games.
Customer Review: A long expected come back of Lara's Tomb Raider adventures
Summary: 5 Stars
After years of disappointing games the Legend finally brings the pleasure of playing Tomb Raider.Customer Review: She's Back
Summary: 4 Stars
Tomb Raider fans will love this...Lara returning to her roots (this both literal and the story of the game). That which made Lara Croft famos (tomb raiding) is back in full with stunning area's to explore. I would also rate this game a 4.5/5 (if that were an option). I was not thrilled with the ending as it was left open (which I am sure is a prompt for the next installment in the series) but there is no concrete conclusion outside of the death of a rival and a revelation to lead us into the next game if/when it is developed. This is, however, a must have for any Lara Croft Tomb Raider fans.Customer Review: Started off well but the save system will screw you...
Summary: 2 Stars
Unless you have mad button pushing skills, skip this game. It's an excellent return to clasic Tomb Raider form... like TR III the save system ensures that you will hit some obstical that you will do over and over and over and over and over again until you are ripping your hair out with frustration.
