Version: Tomb Raider: Legend demo
"Great sense of nostalgia while playing this game."
Pros: A)This game is obviously superior to the past several titles in the series when you can recall your mother yelling at you for playing the first two.
B)Controls are smooth and well done in comparison with many similar games on the market today.
C)Graphics are quite nice and Lara's sharp polygonal cheek bones have vanished (brava).
D)Music is quite good, it helps alot with the adventurous exploration feel of the game.
D)Feels more like an adventure game again. One of the previous sequels (I can't remember which but I'm pretty sure it was on Dreamcast) had her running around halls hiding from guards and I felt that they were trying to emulate Metal Gear games and not do their own thing. This game however has its own distinct styling much like the orginal playstation games did and that is something special. Despite her best efforts Angelina Jolie could not ruin this game for me, hooray!
Cons: A)My friend told me this game will only be released on DVD roms and upon searching sites such as Amazon I have so far been unable to disprove this. My friend does not have a dvd drive on his PC and I'm sure many others don't either.
B)Eidos cannot avoid the fact that the series is a little worn now (mainly their own fault for putting their fans through several deplorable sequels), and hardly any alterations they make to the series at this point can reinstate that initial coolness factor you experienced when picking up the first two titles. This being said if you haven't played any of the Tomb Raider titles and you have the oppurtunity of starting with this one or just playing Tomb Raiders 1, 2, and legend I would have to say your in for a great treat.
