Tomb Raider series
 
It's fun. Anyone else get it?

I still have the first three for PlayStation. Never got the later ones, as I don't have a PS2.

One of these days, though.

I've played the demo, it's pretty fun. The graphics aren't the best though... :up:

I've read too many mixed reviews from gamers, (they say it's too easy, too short, etc...) the review site's however have nothing constructive to say about it, only roses and green grass :roll: I'll give it a go sometime soon and certainly will check out the demo.

Just finished it, was pretty good. Had to redo some levels because I couldn't get the save to work the way I thought it was supposed to, but overall a good Tomb Raider game. :up:

So how long did it take to finish the game?

Onkel Neal 04-17-06 11:55 AM

About 16 hours of playing time.

Tomb Raider - :down: Never did like Tomb Raider. Maybe 13 yr olds liked it because they got to watch digital ass running around, but no thanks. That is the premise this game is built on to sell.

I'm a conditional Tomb Raider fan; when the first one emerged, it really was pretty revolutionary. Gotta remember that it was the first real 'Indiana Jones' game (even if you were a hot British chick instead of Harrison Ford), complete with sprawling 3D settings, wall climbing, rope swinging, etc. Before it, 'adventure' games were generally stuff like Kings Quest...which I ain't knocking, mind, I love the old Sierra games...but you see my point.

The franchise rapidly took a turn away from the tomb raiding and into more of the action genre, though, and it sort of lost it's appeal for me. Legend got my attention again, and I've been awaiting this one to see what they could accomplish with it.

Meh I'm of the opinion that if you judge of game of its graphics, you really aren't giving some awesome games a chance.

Dwarf Fortress for example has ASCII graphics and if you ask any true dwarf fortress player he'll say that if DF had recent generation graphics it just wouldn't be the same.

Meh, if the game isn't open ended I just don't see the point in playing it. If I play HL2 again, it will end up the exact same way I played it the first time, I mean whats the point? I'd be better off getting someone to write an after action report of their playthrough then spending money on it and going through the trouble of playing it.

Its why I love games like Dwarf fortress, X3 Reunion, Total war and Hearts of Iron 2. You never know exactly what your gonna get, and how things are gonna end up.

In games like Dwarf fortress you don't even need to play the game to have fun with it, some of the best fun can be had by just visiting the DF forums and reading the AARs of people playing through.
