Advantages: Some nice levels.

Disadvantages: Hard to move. Camera shots are bad. Pretty plain gun-play.

Tomb Raider: Legend, released in 2006 can be seen as a downfall for the Tomb Raider series. The biggest difference with the PSP game and the game on other consoles is the hard controls. But if you can learn to live with the control, you'll find that the game is an ongoing adventure, however it is the exact same as the game on any other console; expect to solve the same puzzles and do the exact same thing.

Lara must piece together her broken memories in order to remember her past. It's a bit of a pointless story line, but I'm sure you could deal with it when you start shooting people and riding on the bike. I found that some of the levels were quite challenging, especially the one in the ruin where you must move boulders, climb up walls, and swing to one side of the room from another. In this game, you travel all over the world to places like Japan. Actually, the Japan level is one of my favourites as you scale along the sky scrapers and on to the roof of an enemie building and shoot all of the guard dogs and men.

There are eight different levels in the game. You fight many different guys, and there is some blood shed. Some of the bad things I can point out about this game is that the camera angles suck, and also there isn't much to do when Lara shoots her gun. It is sort of simple. Also, some of the angles to shoot objects are pretty badly done. The analog stick on the PSP makes moving pretty hard, especially when you need to do some hard jumps.

Over all I'd say that this game was a waste of money, some of the levels were nice, but it wasn't really worth it.

Summary: A decent game to play if you have to go on a long journey somewhere. A bit boring though.
