On top of that, the game was not cased properly and would've broke between the glass if I wasn't careful enough to open it. I know it's an old game but this kinda stinks. I would've loved this bit of nostalgia.

Game has been on the market for quite a while, so going back and playing it now, you can see the definate improvement of video games since then. However, it is not completely archaic, so you can still have fun doing so! The character and plot lines are good, so you still have to think a bit while playing trying to find the 'clues' and tricks to get to the next step. All in all, not bad, and the sequels to the game are even better! Definate addition to your collection if you are hooked on the gaming world!
They are great video games. And because I just recently became a big fan of the adventuress, Lara Croft, I figured maybe I oughta give these games a try. The only thing I need now is a black PlayStation 1 game console.

Having spawned at least four or five games after this first one, not to mention the movies, this game was one of the most prominant titles on Playstation. The gameplay is a great, third person shooter for the most part. The story line is interesting enough to keep you playing. While the old Playstation 1 graphics can't compare to modern 360 or PS3 graphics, it doesn't make much of a difference because the game is such a classic. I definitely recommend it to anyone who enjoys this genre.
Ever had a classic game you loved as a kid and ten or more years after you grew up, went back to it? Did it let you remember how you felt as a kid? Or were you dissapointed, wondering how you could of like such a cheap faze of a game where the only thing that really pushed it was the cutting edge graphics of the time. Fortunally, the points that made Tomb Raider the hit that it was is still here; a good story and the real kicker, all the exploring you do in the game to find every last secret! Given, the graphics are almost painfully dated compaired to the modern game systems of today- X-Box 360, Playstation 3 and Wii. At the time of her release Tomb Raider, it was the cutting edge of 3-D graphics and the first game to go completely third person. I'm even betting that if young kids of today who are spoiled on high end graphics gave this game a chance for an hour, they would be hooked in the adventure of exploring all corners of the game. The game starts you off as the main character Lara Croft. The screen follows Lara as she explores her landscapes. Sometimes you get so busy exploring, the game usually throws you a few nasty surprise attack that really do catch you off guard. You know- you're looking at an edge you think you can make it to if you can find a path and then WAM!! You just got attacked by a wolf or bear or someother creature that was just around the bend or in another room. Well, Lara is armed so after a few surprise attacks, you get into the mode of pulling out the guns when you enter a new area. But you do have to put the guns away to really explore because she can't climb with her hands full. As you keep looking for hidden areas, the game does reward you with new weapons, ammo and health packs. Believe me, once you reach the end of the game, you're going to need alot of health packs for alot of healing. The other nice feature of this game is the tension it builds when you are exploring underwater caves and cities. Lara can hold her breath awhile, but usually what you look for underwater will strech the limit of her breath as you look for that critical lever that will open a hatch underwater that leads to air. Sometimes you have to find it because you're too far into the underwater maze to backtrack to you entrance point to catch her breath again. The music in this game is sparce but all of it is very well done. When a tune picks up, it's usually a good warning that something is up. Well, this is about as much as I care to describe this game without ruining the story. The Graphics are from the 32 bit era and the controls go back to before Analoge controlers, but the sound is solid and the gameplay still more than makes up for this being a 15 year old game. Once you beat it, this game will definitely have you coming back for round 2. This game could be considered a faze, but if it is, its a very well thought out one with a main character which millions of players refuse to forget. I know I'm one of them, could you be one too?Read full review
The game is probably very good. The problem is that my old PS2 game consoll did not work on this TV. The signal from PS game made it to the television screen. But belive it or not: It was all black and white! No colour at all. The same problem occured with the other games or DVD-movies that I tryed to use or watch this way. So I threw the PS2gameconsoll in the trash. The Tomb Raider - game is still in my collection.

Tomb Raider has to be the best in the whole series. Yea,so the graphic ain't the best in the world... the game is over 10 years old... what do you expect. Everything about Tomb Raider is great. And the music for Tomb Raider has to be the BEST music in any video game PERIOD. You get cool guns. Handgun,Shotgun,Uzis,& Magnums. You go thru 15 levels, killing bats, wolves, bears, panther, lions, apes...etc. And you get PLENTY of medkits, large & small. So you shouldn't die. Lots of ammo. But if you have played Tomb Rider and beat it like 15 times/with all the secrets (like me)with no guide or codes then Tomb Raider is easy as pie. But if you have never played Tomb Raider then I would start with the first one... it's not all that hard except maybe the last level. The only thing I hate about Tomb Raider is the last secret of the game {for those who have found all the secrets you know what I'm talking about)Read full review
This game is just okay. If you aren't a fan of the game series, you will absolutely hate it. The main problem with the game is the controls. They feel unresonably stiff. You cannot turn around easily, climbing up things and picking up objects is a mess of perfect positioning, combat feels more like a chore than a nessesity, and the jumps... are God-awful. The time it takes Lara Croft to jump after you press the jump button is delayed by a few seconds, making jumps the worse part of the game. If you fall too far, you die. Death happens alot in this game, and every single time, it's always the games fault and not the players. Bottom line, expect loads of cheap deaths. The camera is also a sloppy mess. it never points in the direction it needs to be, and you can't control it. This isn't a bad game, and I've definately played worse, but it could have been so much better. It is highly overrated by fans.Read full review
My family wanted the Tomb Raider games all together. Why buy new? (especially when they are older games) The games are great. We spend hours just finishing the first Tomb Raider game as a family. Old school graphics, a little scary for someone under 8 years, but definitely fun. When one of our family did one action well (like swimming), we handed off to that person, and then passed on to someone who did something else well (like shooting wolves, tigers, mutants, etc). A very fun game to play. We had played these a long time ago, and did not like the new angel of darkness game. If you can get this game, it is certainly addicting!
