Video Game Reviews of Tomb Raider Legend
Customer Review: A Tomb Raider focused more on flash and fun, but what's wrong w/ fun?
Summary: 5 Stars
For those looking for the "classic" Tomb Raider that requires hours of puzzle solving, Tomb Raider Anniversary is the game for you. "Legend" is less about looking for that missing cog for the giant wheel thing, and more about doing back flips and fast moving rock climbing with punctuated moments of gun fights.
It's a fast moving, "action movie" style Tomb Raider with this game. A solid back story, interesting characters and a quick paced romp though various levels. For perfectionists you can go back and replay levels, find all secrets, finish in certain times etc...
I do realize that there will be many who think this game is too easy and too short. However while some will be spending hours looking for that switch to flip in Tomb Raider Anniversary, others will be happily jumping, swinging and shooting in Tomb Raider Legend.
It's amazing how small things can make 2 drastically different games. TRA can be a read head scratcher and leave the player wondering "how do I make that jump?". TRL tends to show it's solutions rather easily, but this works for the game as it is not designed for pondering and plotting. The game forces you to keep moving, which removes a lot of the difficulty in the TM games, but I believe it ups the fun factor.
Instead of trying a jump 5 times and then realizing you need to flip a switch first, spending another 30 minutes trying to figure out how to flip that switch in TRA, in TRL you jump, jump some more, and keep moving forward.
I personally think it is the best TR since the original PS1 game.
