    The good outweighs the bad, and the developers get extra points for making the DS version unique without giving up the overall adventure and story.

    Tomb Raider: Legend offers a good mix of gunplay and puzzles; it also shows off the system's 3D capabilities.

    A surprisingly good adaptation of the home console game, with decent graphics and some interesting uses of the touch screen. Not a classic but we wouldn't object to a sequel. [Christmas 2006, p.72]

    Frustrating in a hurl-the-cartridge-into-the-North-Sea way. Easily the worst of the three versions. Unacceptable! [Dec 2006, p.40]

    Despite all of the frustration, however, Tomb Raider on DS can still be great fun at times - as long as you've got super-human patience and are prepared to squint a lot.

    Tomb Raider Legend DS can be fun at times, but it's a bit difficult to get past the low graphical quality. It also requires a lot of patience and a good eye to continue forward.

    Indeed, so much of what was an otherwise quality adventure has been lost in the transition, this is more like a book of the film where half of the pages have been torn out. Avoid.

    The End is not conclusive. It seems to lead to another game, like Legend 2. This mede it desaponting. It could have more 3D action and the The End is not conclusive.
