Excellent, albeit lacking in revolutionary intent -- but c'mon, how many games really differ in that respect?

Unfortunately the game will be over before you really get into it, which is a crying shame.
PSX Nation
Rent it and relive all what's good (length, challenge, graphics) and bad (control, pixelation, difficulty, puzzles) about one of the PSX's best action series ever.

A new type of Tomb Raider, but when stripped down, it's the same old same old. Fortunately, the same old same old is still plenty fun.
GameSpot
A worthy enough "sequel" to the original and can deliver an adequate number of thrills, though nothing unique or surprising.

Even though the gameplay is somewhat old hat, there is enough variety and challenge in this game to make it a worthwhile purchase. The adventures are well balanced, and the visuals are outstanding.

It's time to move on, Lara -- Angelina Jolie is waiting in the wings, and then you're done.

If you still enjoy the series and want more, go with Tomb Raider Chronicles. But if Lara hasn't yet cast her spell on you, you'd do well to look for an adventure game with less frustrating controls.

I do think that the developers are guilty of trying to please all the people all of the time, but for all that Tomb Raider Chronicles is eminently playable.
IGN
Basically more of the same, so you probably know better than anyone else whether or not it's something that you'll like.

A terribly average game, Chronicles is about jumping, falling, dying and reloading from the memory card every few minutes.
Read Full Review >Gaming Age
The game feels like old-hat and the limited gameplay changes have the Tomb Raider series making a small leap in improvement.

Longtime fans of Lara's exploits will find more of the same ride, but we can't recommend paying the full admission price.
Game Revolution
It is redeemed by its attempt at varied and balanced play and the fact that, compared to its siblings, it's shorter than a legless dwarf caterpillar after a confrontation with the business end of a shoe.

It should be illegal for you to own money if you even considered buying this crap. [Jan 2004, p.189]

This game really wasn't as bad as i though it would be seeing as how the TR games got worse with time. I was acually happy, and i didn't think i would.
Ice box gave it a 0:

Rizwan A. gave it a 10:

Nestor G. gave it a 10:
Tomb Raider I,II,III,IV and V are the best game. And the game of Tomb Raider: the angel of darkness is going to be added to best game.
Tom K. gave it a 10:
Brilliant gameplay, excellent storyline. Everything about this game is brilliant. There are two problems I have with the game though. For one, the PUZZLES ARE TOO HARD, it's almost impossible to complete the game without a guide. And secondly, I wish the game series would return to the historical settings tombs for instance. (and seeing as this is in the title of the game why aren't there enough, or any?!) This is the best game after the original Tomb Raider, the rest were all pants (excluding TLR but that was too hard as well so that was also Pants).
Chase P. gave it a 10:
This game was totally awesome.
