Tomb Raider 4 - The Last Revelation (DC) Reviews

Although it was a while before Tomb Raider 4 was ported to the Dreamcast, it did so with a whizz and a bang, bringing numerous refinements to the table, such as visual and aural enhancements that made it a sure fire betterment to the original game. The game opens with a flashback portion, where a young Lara is being shown the adventure ...  Read the complete review

When I got a Dreamcast for Christmas I got three games with it: Sonic, Chu-Chu Rocket and Tomb Raider 4. Now when I received this I was expecting TR4 to be the game I played most. However on finding Chu-Chu Rocket to be one of the funniest games of all time and discovering that Sonic actually had more to it than meets the eye, I found ...  Read the complete review

Tomb Raider 4, being Lara's first 128bit outing, wasn't quite as good as I would have hoped. The graphics are fairly good, but they hardly differ to the Playstation and PC games. This in itself is enough to deter any potential buyers - why on earth would you buy a 128bit machine if the games are going to be just like those on a 32bit ...  Read the complete review

When Lara's two main assets (great graphics and superb playablility obviously) were unleashed upon the gaming world the effects were astounding with middle aged men the world over ending up salivating vast lakes of dribble beneath their monitors. Now, in her fourth outing on her fourth console the formula has been done to death, not only by ...  Read the complete review

The Dreamcast sales were dwindling, so they decided to bring Lara Croft to the console. Lara has a terrific ability to sell a console, and she had terrific potential to develop on the Dreamcast. Sadly this is unused potential as Eidos have decided to port the PSX version directly onto the Dreamcast. Whilst the PSX version was hardly poor, ...  Read the complete review

The last revelation just gives you good, presentation, Not ropy, but not spectacular either, Some people have noted that it looks jerky at 30 frames a second. Running at 50/60 would have improved the background movements, but it isn't a big deal. Even the cinematic scenes have an antiqued stiffness about them. they really appear at ...  Read the complete review

So, the ultra successful Tomb Raider franchise finally hits Sega's great "white hope" at last; the question is: is it any good? Well, it really depends on whether you bought your Dreamcast for next-gen gaming or not. This fourth instalment of TR has been converted from the PC version, which is not a terrible thing you understand, but ...  Read the complete review

oh Lara OH LARA!...Hopefully TR4 IS the last one, although I'm a great fan of Lara and this genre of gaming I do feel they have pushed the series too far. Although the game is superb graphically and atmospherically, I do feel the same as others...it's just too samey, not only similar puzzles as those in TR1,2 & 3 but even in this game you ...  Read the complete review

TR-TLR is a decent game with many good qualities. I would reccomend it, but only to people looking to buy a game now, or TR fans. Others should stray away from this game or at least play it before purchase. The gameplay is like other TR games difficult but possible to get the hang of. Some of the puzzles in the game are confusing and ...  Read the complete review

im sorry but yeah 1 was good 2 was great 3 was getting a bit boring but come on 4 give it a break. Lara's come to the Dreamcast. Know what that means? It's time to call over some friends and break out the pizza and beer - cause Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation is going to be a long ride. The Good In ...  Read the complete review

Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation was Lara's first outing on the Dreamcast but frankly I'm very disappointed. The fact that this game was also released on the Playstation has held this game back. The graphics are very disappointing and I just hope that stories that the next in the series will be released on the PSX and not the psx2 ...  Read the complete review

This game will only be a good game if you do not own the other three Tomb Raider games. Why, I hear you ask??? Because it is the SAME. Yes/ the same type of gameplay, the same type of graphics, the same type of sound, the same type of levels, the same tyep of baddies, the same type of puzzles, the same type of view, the same everything, get it? ...  Read the complete review

This game has had a lot of criticism and fairly so, while the game is good it has too many niggles to make it great. The first problem is that it is obviously a straight port of the pc version, secondly there is plenty of pop up and on a machine as powerful as the dreamcast this just should not happen. That said it is still absorbing and ...  Read the complete review

Lara makes a belated return to Sega screens, melding engaging Indiana Jones-style action with a frustratingly spastic control system. It's exactly the same as the PlayStation version of the same game, except the angular game graphics are resprayed with Dreamcast Pretty Paint. The Last Revelation is ...  Read the complete review

Oh Dear – the Tomb Raider franchise rolls out number 4 of the series and apart from better graphics there is nothing to justify buying this “last revelation” if you already own any of the others. No wonder the Eidos share price has plummeted in the past few months – people are starting to see there is more to a good series ...  Read the complete review

Tomb Raider 4 – The Best 1 Yet? Introduction I think that tomb raider 4 is the best Tomb Raider game to date. Unlike it’s predecessors it has smooth graphics and game play and even more interaction. It has all of the good things from the old games i.e. all of the moves – crawl, duck and climbing- and a few new ...  Read the complete review

Okay everybody thought tombraider was good and indeed it was but Eidos(the makers of the game) have beening soaking up money off it for too long. Still looking almost the same as the original without any real changes what so every Eidos still thinks people will pay for a game which would be better described as an add on pack for the original! If ...  Read the complete review

tomb raider 4 is no doubt the best tomb so far and with its great graphics and great gameplay it answers the question why all the magazines love it so much. In this game lara croft explores mystic ruins(same as before really). It is fun packed with jeep racing superb graphical movies and laras arse for all the 13 year buoys. Buy it if it's ...  Read the complete review
