I have played 1,2 and 3, and Ive nearly completed 4, I think that the graphics and Lara's movenments have come a long way since the 1st one. The game is basically the same, but harder, and there are different moves to get used to. I like all the tomb raiders, but I think this is the best. You need to really concentrate on some of the moves! the puzzles are a bit hard at times, most of the hard ones are near the end of the game, but I like the way that you have to keep going back to the previous level to do something elce. The only thing I have not liked about any of the tomb raiders, is when the camera angle gets a mind of it's own! I find it quite hard to see what I'm doind and to control Lara. But it makes the game more interesting. I would definatly bye this one (I have now) I don't think there is another adventure game like it! A good one, gets a 5 star rating from me!!! It is better if you have played the other 3 first!
