A ground-breaking game

by arthur.greem , Jan 07 '01
Pros: Good puzzles, great environment
Cons: Some rendering problems, occasional crashes when saving
I missed Tomb Raider when it first came out (back in 1996). I'd seen the media comments about Lara Croft and the associated hype, but discounted the game itself. Did I ever miss out ... I finally picked up a cheap copy of the game late last year while...

Beginning of An Era

by dmfokjf , Jun 19 '00
Pros: Lots of Action
Cons: Graphics Aren't As good as an earlier game
This was one of the first games I bought for my playstation. I haven't had my playstation quite three years now, and at this time Tomb Raider was already a greatest hit. Once I saw the greatest hit sign, and looked at the back cover my mind was made up...

TR isn't just T&A

by Pyanfar , Mar 20 '00
Pros: Fun, Exciting, Great Scenery; Tutorial was really good
Cons: More Ammo Wasted than two John Woo films; Some violence is uncomfortable to watch; Cameras don't always catch the view right
I played this game all the way through. By that I mean that not only did I beat it, but I looked for all the secrets and tried to go everywhere on every level. I do that when a game sucks me in and takes away my social life.

The character of...

Tomb Raider: A new classic

by KingJFS , May 22 '00
Pros: Great graphics, huge challenge
Cons: None
Tomb Raider has done a lot of things since it was released back in 1996 (man it was that long ago?). With others like it, it has helped define a new generation of games that don't have to be cutesy to be good.*

It has brought the 3D adventure...

Tomb Raider -- It Strikes Your Sense of Wonder

by dh003i , Aug 23 '00
Pros: Excellent graphics, sound; amazing environment; fascinating architecture and artwork; mystery and intrigue; the "good bugs"
Cons: those annoying bugs that allow you to see through walls once in a while; unfortunately, there is a end to the game
Let me start off by acknowledging what are, as of today, considered to be some of the flaws of Tomb Raider: It is buggy and its graphics are dated. Let me also say that the bugs of the game are also its virtues. Yes, the game's bugs are both pros and...

The Thinking Person's Game

by lap0530 Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Feb 13 '00
Pros: Requires and Develops Critical Thinking, Excellent Sound and Graphics
Cons: Not Enough Action for the Thrill-Seeker
The original Tomb Raider is one of my favorite PC games. Though there is nothing overtly feminist about this game, it is very gratifying to see a PC game with a female character who is capable, savvy, strong, intelligent, and not bad-looking either. Tomb...

Even now, not too shabby

by dmarusz , Feb 15 '00
Pros: length, realistic movements of subjects
Cons: save your games constantly, a crash is coming
You can't say enough about this game. Unfortunately, not all of the things said are good.

This renegade of a pc game transformed the gaming world. You no longer had a popular game in first person (so long DOOM). You played on multi-levels...

Didn't like it

by Shoo , Dec 29 '99
Pros: A well known game
Cons: very difficult to play
Tomb Raider is loved by may people, including my sister. However, I can not seem to like it and enjoy. I have a hard time seeing the creatures in it because the computer imaging is VERY unclear and not life-like. I also had a hard time moving the...

A kick - even for the non-game player

by goobdad , Jul 14 '00
Pros: challenging & entertaining
Cons: unbelievable breasts
Let me begin by saying I am not typically a game player. I spent some time at the arcade back in junior high school but I never got much more involved than Centipede and Pac-Man.

When dear hubby brought home Tomb Raider, a game some of his...

mmm....Lara :-)

by wwolf01 , Jan 29 '00
Pros: beautiful graphics with 3DFX, great music, price
Cons: not too many weapons, not much of a replay value
When I first heard of Tomb Raider, I was just getting into gaming, and the advertisements for this one said that you could "adventure anywhere"
I was pretty intrigued by this, so I picked it up. At the time, I had a pretty nasty computer,...

English women are sexy

by Luv2Ref , Jan 23 '00
Pros: Man, what a sexy accent
Cons: none
This is the game that started it all. I never wasted a lot of my time playing computer games because either I was always getting my *@# kicked or the game got just plain boring.

Then came Lara! With her hot looks and sexy english accent [come...

Old IS Gold...

by narenji Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Nov 16 '99
Pros: Great execution, graphics, sound, controls, replay value
Cons: can be frustrating at times...
Computer games get more and more complex everyday. What was considered to be ground breaking soon gets left behind in the bargain bins only to be superceded by some new game. I remember getting addicted to Super Mario Bros (the very first one), and not...

Not the best I've played

by veganweb , Oct 30 '00
Pros: Not a real bad game, female lead character
Cons: Difficult to play, few targets at first.
I enjoy playing games. I've spend many many hours working my way through numerous games, but I just could never get into Tomb Raider.

My roommate brought home TR and loved it. I had heard the hype about how fantastic it was so I gave it a...

One of the best games!!

by HAforever27 , Dec 31 '99
Pros: It's graphics and animations are so realistic.
Cons: It's too tricky.
I love the way this game is made. The choice of movements are fantastic.
The character, Lara Croft's movements are so realistic. She climbs, docks, dives, and flips. This game is an excellent game in every way. Its graphics are very realistic and...

A very captivating game

by romibarjak , Oct 07 '00
Pros: sophisticated movements and scenery
Cons: better on the Playstation than the PC
The appeal of an Amazon like female running around the screen proved too much of a temptation, specially after all the hype I read about it. That is why I was pleasantly surprised at the relative sophistication and enjoyment provided by the game. My two...
