In a nutshell:
Lara Croft is finally back in the first game to do her legacy justice since the days of the original PlayStation. With updated graphics and gameplay, and a whole new suite of moves and equipment this is the sequel fans have always demanded.
Lara Croft is finally back in the first game to do her legacy justice since the days of the original PlayStation. With updated graphics and gameplay, and a whole new suite of moves and equipment this is the sequel fans have always demanded.
The lowdown:
After the disappointment of Angel of Darkness, the Tomb Raider series has gone back to basics with a new developer and even a new Lara. Combat is back to being only around a third of the game with everything else centred on platform jumping and puzzle solving. To help this, there’s a canny new movement system that allows Lara to jump onto and grab objects at an angle, so there’s none of the awkward grid based movement of the earlier games. This is also the first Tomb Raider to have a proper physics engine, with lots of the puzzles revolving around movement and the use of Lara’s natty new magnetic grappling hook. The graphics are also excellent, and with input from the original creator this is a long awaited return to form.
Most exciting moment:
The realisation that this is actually a proper update of the original game, as Lara leaps around cliffs like a mountain goat, with graphics and controls that aren’t still stuck in 1996.
Since you ask:
The new voice of Lara is provided by Keeley Hawes, who also plays Zoe Reynolds in BBC TV show Spooks.
The bottom line:
Lara Croft is back in the first decent new Tomb Raider game for a long time.
Harrison Dent

Fun:
Please be warned, there is a very annoying bug in this game that, when triggered, can stop you from finishing. It occurs about half way through the England level and occurs when you face the sea monster boss (after visiting King Arthur's tomb). There are plenty of websites with guides that will help you avoid this bug because, if like me, you trigger it and you have used only one save slot then you CANNOT finish the game. Eidos are aware of the problem but cannot fix it so check out their site (and there are other sites that point out the bug - just Google it) for advice on how to avoid it.
Very irritating. The England level is about three quarters of the way through so I'm not prepared to replay the whole game just to finish it (as Eidos suggest).
Apart from that, the game's very good and I was quite enjoying until the bug cropped up.

Fun:
It took me about 8 hours to finish this and get most of the extras. so it could of been longer but i still enjoyed playing it. the way you handle moving around is alot easier than the previous games and the graphics are good but they didnt use the xbox 360's graphic to it full potential. The game itself is great(although the moterbike chases let it down) and it is worth a play.

Fun:
Tombraider is great. It's how i remembered the first tombraider to be before the series started to go downhill. I agree it isn't terribly long but there is a nice mixture of puzzles, acrobatics, and fighting. The presentation is also good. All in all a return to form for Lara

An excellent game - just slightly too short!
Because I've been hiding under a rock for the last ten years, I'd never played a Tomb Raider game before. I'm annoyed I hadn't because Legend is excellent. Read more

Great game if a little too short.
I wasn't sure what to make of this game at first. I had played it on the XBOX and liked it. I expected there to be something extra on the XBOX 360. Read more
