 Well, it was fun. August 18, 2008
Well, Tomb Raider: Legend was a lot of fun. The controls are easy to use and they even give you the option of turning the manual grab on. The rewards are good and the gameplay is fun, the first time around.
As a Tomb Raider fan, I have to say that the replay value of this game is really low. I replayed for time trials, and that was about it. I started out on the most difficult setting (Tomb Raider is hard mode, I guess) and it was still really easy. It ended abruptly, but it was a lot of fun while it lasted, and I'd recommend it to anyone who wants a quick, cheap thrill.

This being the company's first Tomb Raider, was actually my second next-gen Tomb Raider game I have bought. I will only say, that we need more games like these. The most interesting part is being able to play one location per level. If you have played the old games you will get the idea. This is an excellent game that I play on my PC. I will eventually purchase a new computer, but in the meantime I am happy running it on my ATI RadeonX300 chip set. I will always appreciate what Lara has done for us, knowing that all new Games and MUSIC has gone to Senseless CRAP!! But not Lara, at least not yet. Those that complain about controls, always remember it is very difficult to make a perfect game that would probably take over 7 years to accomplish. And yet some would be..... Still Dissatisfied! If YOU can make a game that every single person on Earth enjoys, I would dish out $1000 just to own it!!! I am a very choosy individual, believe me I like almost every genre of a game..... but it has to have a high replay/interest factor! As for those that say the Anniversary version has serious issues running VISTA, than search for a computer that can be assembled according to your instructions! Remember the little thing called the "internet". Yes, CUSTOM-BUILD YOUR NEW PC ONLINE! A great web page is www.cyberpowerpc.com. Please DON'T waste more money for business practices that force you to "GET NEW or SCREW YOU" deal. You can definitely get a high-end PC for the SAME PRICE. I believe they still offer "WINDOWS XP" with custom built machines. I Don't Want To See A Great Series Forgotten, DUE TO VISTA MAINTENANCE ISSUES!! I LOVE CRYSTAL DYNAMICS, CORE, EIDOS, and especially LARA CROFT!!! The Tomb Raider Games have been a blessing to the Gaming World! LARA CROFT WILL LIVE IN MY DREAMS FOREVER!!

After playing tired sequel after sequel in the TR series, this one finally delivers. Some thought it too short - I say short and sweet. Or difficult to control - what was the problem? Best Tomb Raider in a long time and very enjoyable play here with spectacular graphics. Strangely, Crystal Dynamics also produced Tomb Raider Anniversary that I found to be somewhat difficult and annoying. Maybe they will use Legend for inspiration on the next one.
A CLEAR IMPROVEMENT March 11, 2008

Unfortunately Eidos never could appreciate the what a gold mine the Lara Croft series could have been. The Legend is clearly a major improvement in the Croft series with stunning graphics and story line. The keyboard has also improved from 4 flats to retreads but still needs work. Parts of this game still involves more fighting with the keyboard to get things done but is more the exception than the rule.
The second game in this video is Croft Manor which is separate from Legend and gets extremely high marks if you like puzzle solving and critical thinking. This section will keep you pleasantly hooked from the getgo. The fact that Angelina Jolie turned this series into blockbuster movies is a testament to the success of the Croft concept. Had EA or Vivendi Games had this series from day one, the Lara Croft games would have surpassed Halo, Doom and Call of Duty in a heartbeat to be the best series in video history. The Croft series needs to be remade with the serious investment it requires at the very least. Lets hope Eidos gets bought out!
