Tomb Raider (PS) Reviews

THe orginial Tomb Raider was brought to us by Eidos Interactive in the late 1990's and really took the world by storm, the sexy Lara Croft was cast in the role of a female action archeaologist in search of valuables hidden in all kinds of places, mostly old caves and tombs, hence the name. I got a hold of this a few weeks after it came out and I ...

Once upon a time, just before Christmas in fact, a little-known development company named Core Design were gearing up for the release of a PSOne game that was both a) innovative and b) not a dodgy sequel. The game that would populate the stockings of many thousands of teenage boys/middle-aged men in the year of 1996 would be the classic adventure ...

Tomb Raider - Yep Tomb Raider 1 - The original! And I must be the last person in the world to play it! The allure of Laura Croft unfortunately is a bit lost on me, just doesn’t melt my butter to be honest (Now real lady’s however!). And I sadly was under the impression this was the only reason to buy this game and to make ...

Lara Croft became an unlikely phenomenon and pin-up when the first Tomb Raider game was unleashed in 1995. Even now, with gaming heroines the norm, Lara continues to lead the way - the recent Tomb Raider Chronicles was the fifth in the series and the first Tomb Raider movie, starring Angelina Jolie, arrives soon. In anticipation, we take ...

Tomb Raider was one of the first british games for the original playstation. Now over 5 years later, it may look very plain and simple but technology has evolved vastly within the last couple of years. This game started off a huge string of follow ups and a number 1 hit movie. It's by far the best Tomb Raider to date. ...

I'm really going for a great op this time... This game is amazing and unless you've been locked underground for quite a few years you should have heard about one or another aspect of the game. This game revolutionised gaming with it's breath-taking 3d worlds and fantastic gameplay. But before I go on about the rest lets get to ...

Hi people, I ain't gonna diss the Tomb Raider series, i'm gonna diss the main character of these games. Lara Croft. Ok these games are great and true classics but why oh why do boys and men find this collection of polygons so attractive. Even if she was a REAL human being she ain't even pretty! She has a big nose and weird eyes ...

As the series now includes it's 5th title, it is easy to look back at the original tomb raider as some what dated. To be honest, it is just that...... in most ways. I do however feel that the original has a certain feel to it that easy explains tomb raiders success. most levels have a cheerful look to them, and most offer a reasonable ...

Core have produced five Tomb Raider games for the playstation and each one has provided the player with a series of new moves and weapons and in each one the graphics have been steadily improving but in this process of constant improvent something in the gameplay has been lost. Out of all five Tomb Raider games the first one is ...

My daughter has this game for her playstation and l found myself firstly helping her play and then playing when she was at school. Lara Croft has to overcome lots of obstacles and defeat bad animals, beasts and even people that all want to stop her from fulfilling her tasks. You end up going to Cheats on the internet to discover how to get ...

The Tomb Raider games will probably go down in history just for their lead character, but of all the versions there is really only one which stands out as a truly excellent game - the first one. Regardless of the computer press and their continual hyping of the Lara sequels, none of them are a patch on this first instalment of the ...

The very first Tomb Raider is much better than you’d expect. Not really passing today’s standards graphic-wise, the gameplay is just about the same, just a bit more limited. There are 16 levels (I think), each separated in 4 different areas. First sees Lara travelling in some ancient caves inside the Alps, or Himalayas or some mountain ...

Tomb Raider is a 3D action shoot-'em-up in the mould of other classic games like Resident Evil and Duke Nukem. However, rather than being more of the same it aimed to break new ground with its levels of realism, graphical excellence and gameplay. (and it sure did that!) You play Lara Croft, a female adventurer, survival expert and ...

This game was the first of it's kind, a full 3d world to explore!!!, with a realistic edge to it and of course the character is a woman!!!, so this both apealed to repressed women who are sick of men being the hero all the time!! and also to men as Lara is rather large in all the right places!, but anyway back tio the game, In case anyone is ...

This was a unique game in many ways. The graphics were the best around at the time, it had a female lead character, the 3rd person swinging camera, which works very well in TR, had never really been pulled off before by other developers, and the plot, well, just play it and see, excellent. The TR learning curve is there to be had ...

This as to be the best Tomb Raider ever!!! First I'll start with the gamplay. It's a 3rd person action/adventure game that I found easy to pick up and hard to put down. You play Lara Croft (Tuff chick) and you are asked to look for the mystical lost artifact called the scion. You explore deferent locations around the world in this ...

Here's a game that has probably helped sell more Playsations in the UK than any other, that's launched tonnes of merchandising and that has it's own official model. I doubt there's a person in this country who doesn't know about Lara Croft she has after all become an icon of our times. Tomb Raider is the first outing for her ...

Tomb Raider will always lie as a classic in the annals of the Playstation Hall of Fame. Many have entered its sacred halls, but few have received such a cult following as the fantastically endowed femme fatale Lara Croft. For those new to the game (surely there can't be many), Tomb Raider was the first successful 3D adventure and ...
