    For all it's flaws, you get a sense of achievement from this game. You do want to see what's coming next, and the exploration bits where you have to avoid a hazard by inching across a ledge or ducking under an obstacle are still absurdly enjoyable.
  2. Perhaps the most interesting addition in Tomb Raider: Chronicles is the level editor. With it, you can now create your own missions and scenarios to pass along to your friends in the mod community, but before you get excited, it should be known that this is one complicated tool.

    TR:C can be fun, particularly the killer final level. However, based on the price of the title, and the complete lack of ingenuity, I can't recommend TR:C to anyone other than the most frothy-mouthed, rabid Tomb Raider fans. The quality just isn't there.
  4. If I can prevent just one piece-of-crap game like this from coming to the market, it will be the right thing to do for gaming.

    This game is one of the best games of Tomb Raider I have ever played. It's nice to know about other adventures she has been on besides the ones that have been. If no one has played this, I recommend it. Expand

    This game is underrated. It's pretty linear with a easy to medium difficulty level. The presentation and story lines are IMO the most unique in the series. The game offers four different adventures each with their own story. The first taking place in Rome, which focuses on the perfect blend of Tomb raiding and puzzle solving. The second adventure is more action packed and modern. The third focuses purely on puzzles and exploration. And the Final adventure is more stealthy and challenging. Honestly, I enjoyed this more than The Last Revelation. The variety works better for me. The fact that the PC version came with a Level Editor was a huge plus too. Give this game a chance. It makes the best use of the TR engine. The game is simple, but enjoyable if you like the series. Expand
  3. Bleh. It is better than Tomb Raider III and Angel of darkness but it is nowhere near as good as other games in the series. It is quite buggy. And the acting is bleh. I only recommend it to Tomb Raider fans. Expand
