Just like the Prince of Persia Collection, Tomb Raider Trilogy delivers three fantastic action games in one package. If you missed at least two of them, this is a must-buy.
This trilogy contains Tomb Raider: Legend, Tomb Raider: Underworld and Tomb Raider: Anniversary. A nice compilation of three pretty good Tomb Raider games in HD and of course with Trophies. If you missed those games, this trilogy is a perfect solution to play the three games.
My ALL-TIME-FAVOURITE game. Nothing more to say here.
Sure, it's not perfect by modern standards, but THIS is the Lara Croft and Tomb Raider I will always love and remember.
10/10 yes yes and once again YES.
This collection is a must for every Tomb Raider lover, I have absolutely nothing against the new trilogy, but you have to play this trilogy first or just in general. Underworld was my favourite by far, followed by Legends and then Anniversary, I didn't like the reboot of the first Tomb Raider that much.
Tomb Raider Trilogy is a wonderful trip down memory lane. The graphics have been touched up nicely, and the sheer amount of content means you'll get plenty of value out of this package.
Tomb Raider can't die! After years of erring ways, Lara succeeded in restoring its dignity thanks to the efforts of Crystal Dynamics. Of course, fans will be delighted to find in a single, low-price release the great episodes Anniversary and Underworld (Legend being a little behind), it's first and foremost to all adventure lovers that this trilogy will be appealing, with its substantial life (you can count more than 40 hours of gameplay in there). Lara succeeded in correcting its own shortcomings, and if the fans may disregard this compilation, maybe it's time for the others, those who broke up with Lara years ago, to try and spark their love anew... while we wait for a real reboot.
If you consider yourself a gaming history connoisseur it represents great value and a fascinating insight into the evolution of action-adventure titles.
A classic collection for all old tomb raider **** will only have to wait for a remake version of the great tomb raider 2!A must have for any fan of the series.
Lara Croft has been the queen of video games for 15 years and counting. As I'm beginning to wait for next year on the awaiting reboot of Tomb Raider, nothing can't slow me down by playing a great HD collection just like God of War and Prince of Persia. I love Tomb Raider Legend, Anniversary, and Underworld! It reminds me of how Lara got started since day 1 after the original game was released in 1996, with the gun-totting Indiana Jones style along with her signature turquise suit and her infamous breast implants which paved the way for fans on why she is considered as a sex symbol to hardcore gamers everywhere. Pick this collection today. It's a great price and a great offer.
This trilogy contains the remake of the first Tomb Raider ever and the first two episodes made by Crystal Dynamic, this is a true relic of the past since the reboot of the franchise and the changes made to the licence are pretty obvious after you played this game.
Technically the game is good and even if none of this game are really old they all look worthy of the hardware. I don't have much to say about this.
Concerning the gameplay it's a mix of platforming, puzzle and action like any good adventure game, it may be a bit too easy and arcade, specially the gunfights with unlimited ammo and auto aiming, but it's never frustrating, in the contrary it's pretty fun and you'll love solving those puzzle like a true explorer.
The story is pretty weak for the two first game of this trilogy but the third achieve to link all this and has a better writing, the voice overs are also pretty bad and contribute to this feeling of cheap movie. But the thrill of revisiting legends like Excalibur, Atlantis, Thor's hammer, etc. will keep you going if you are interested by all those stories. Each game last a little less than 10 hours, it's a bit short if you take it one by one, but the 25-30 hours needed for finishing the trilogy is way more acceptable.
So in conclusion those games truly show the gap that was created by Uncharted when it came out, here the story is cheesy,and the arcade feeling cuts the immersion, despite some good puzzles and setting. Advisable for big adventure fans or old school gamers that want to play to the "old" Tomb Raider" games.
Tomb Raider Legend
So Lara returned after a rather horrific detour in Angel of Darkness which not only managed to highlight all of the problems that had been plaguing the series sequel after sequel yet proved once and for all that despite prettier graphics Lara's gameplay had to **** fast. Whilst not quite the departure many were hoping for Legend is arguably the most fun in this bundle. It's short, lean and packs a nice visual punch with its environments and the controversial decision of 'tech support.' Gone is the sense of isolation but the OTT action sequences and grimacing quick time events added something else to what was pretty much the same game as the others. The length however is quite unjustifiable considering how much people would have paid for it. Still it bridged the gap that Angel of Darkness plummeted from. 7/10
Tomb Raider Anniversary
This rather unecessary remake made use of Legends new controls, tweaking the shoddy combat mechanisms that blighted that game slightly and the welcome return of what I call 'Tomb Raider Atmospherics' made this feel more enjoyable than the dated original. Of course as a remake it does not quite capture the nostalgia of the original and is no where near as fun as Legend. The camera is also more hideous than in its predecessor making for a rather hodge podge mess in stepping back and improving on the classic. Nevertheless as a port Anniversary cranked up the difficulty a notch from the ridiculously easy Legend, and jagged rock canyon was often where Lara would end up for being completely uncontrollable. Silly cow. 6.5/10
Tomb Raider Underworld
Critics cited this first 3rd generation Tomb Raider as less combat heavy and more into deep sea exploring. They obviously only played the first level and then began typing because this is a blatant lie. Swarm after swarm of bats, spiders and giant mutant lizards appear, and Underworld's response to a decade of crap combat was to make it as mute as it was in the original five. Adrenaline shots are more tedious to pull of than they are worth. However the biggest misgiving of this 'same old same old' adventure is the camera. I stopped playing Underworld completely on three different occasions, vowing each time never to place the disc in my PS3 ever again. Glitches galore coupled with this truly fatal camera ruined any chance Underworld had on being an improvement over the previous two efforts. The only new tricks Lara has here is the ability to climb and move more fluidly yet she still manages to hump everything in sight Also the eradication of bosses made this incredibly easy and the lack of challenge in the platforming sections just showed how much this game needed polishing. The latter levels in particular seemed rushed, completely at fault and caused my PS3 to crash many times in the Arctic Expedition. Disappointing to say the least as there are some great environments and sections here, but not enough to see this through. The weakest Tomb Raider since VI by miles. 5.4/10
Well for each game in the set I would give 8 to 8.5 if I played them back in those days when they were released.
I loved the set. I liked the story. Not epic but the puzzles where fun.
Hated the Camera battles. Wished there was a map for the collectibles because they are hard to spot most of the times.
Overall I enjoyed playing the set. I wanted to know Lara Croft in her glory days before starting the new Tomb Raider where she starts as fragile surviver
