Tomb Raider for PlayStation 1

Pros: Long quest, variety of levels, good graphics
Cons: Control takes getting used to, rather difficult, not a lot of music

Way back in 1996 (oh my God, I was still in high school!), a little game came out and took the PlayStation by storm. That game was Tomb Raider. While the last couple of Tomb Raider games have completely destroyed the mystique of the series, the...

Pros: Eerie atmosphere, addictive gameplay, great storyline
Cons: Glitchy environment

There are video game icons, and then there are video game icons. You've got Mario, Nintendo's number one contender-- a squat, Italian plumber whose idea of a good time is saving the princess and doing shrooms. There's Sonic, a blue hedgehog who has an ...

Pros: Great Game for it's time
Cons: Many graphic and control issues

Ever wonder how all of today's gaming heroines got their start? They owe it all to this game right here. Eidos took a chance and produced a game featuring a female lead character, along with some(at the time)new gameplay wrinkles, and it took. Now,...

Pros: Underwater sequences, lack of backtracking, simple weapons system, very clever game design
Cons: Lack of story, character interaction, saves. Some jumps too difficult. Too repetitive

I`m new to video games and had only played two others, Parasite Eve and Koudelka, prior to my experience with TR. I expected a story and an interesting, if flawed, game experience...something like a mummy movie with player interaction....was I in for a ...

Pros: Fun Fun Fun till daddy takes the artifacts away
Cons: She's not American, can be hard

This is one of the best Playstation game out. Both in 1996 (when the game came out) standards and by todays standards. I picked this up at Comp USA for $14.99 in the used section because I wanted to see if it lived up to all of the hype.

It...

Pros: Good graphics, sound and gameplay, very challenging
Cons: none

This game is quite the challenge. I received this game as a Christmas present one year. I couldn’t wait to pop it into my Playstation and start playing. I look at the cover and the back of the game and it looked very intriguing.

This game is...

Pros: innovative and stellar in terms of game design; a revolution within the adventure genre
Cons: sadly, this is the best game of the series

Every so often, a game comes along that totally redefines an entire genre and leaves the video game industry gasping in awe. Tomb Raider is one such game. Shortly before its 1996 release, this game was labeled as the next great thing in the adventure...

Pros: fun action packed game
Cons: frustrating moves

Tomb Raider starring Laura Croft, a rich eccentric action character that likes to fight, jump and hunt.
Tomb Raider, a game that I have beat my head with till I could figure out how to use the correct buttons to make this action character do what I...

Pros: Puzzles, The Tombs are very well made
Cons: Lara Croft, Graphics are Dated

I actually bought this Tomb Raider after playing the first level of Tomb Raider II, and man am I glad I did, so I could see that the Tomb Raider series isn't total garbage. First I'll start with Lara Croft, she is nothing special, actually I don't like...

Pros: puzzle-solving aspect, unparalled art direction and design, intriguing, good music. Lasts longer most games.
Cons: Some maneuvers too difficult for some people.

Angelina Jolie sure has her work cut out for her. Not since Lynda Carter filled out Wonder Woman’s ensemble, or Alicia Silverstone squeezed into Batgirl's tights has an actress had as adventurously daunting a task as Ms. Jolie will have tomorrow...

Pros: Varying graphics, makes you think in additon to "shooting em up"
Cons: Graphics need improvement, contains violence and "sex appeal"

Not having much time to sit and play video games, I was surprised when this one got me hooked! My husband was the one who actually played the majority of the game, but it wasn't long before I was sneaking the controls away to make Lara jump, tumble and...

Pros: Challenging and many hours of play, you definitely get you money's worth.
Cons: Poor villain development and extraneous levels.

Today is truly an awesome day. For today my friends, I have beaten Tomb Raider. Finally. I must start by saying that I loved this game. It was very challenging and fun. A hard combination to find in today's fast-paced,...

Pros: great action, adventurous,excellent storyline
Cons: a little difficult at first....keep at it..will get easier

Tomb Raider is the best adventure game out for playstation. There is a pretty in depth story that goes along with game that builds on itself as you complete levels. This makes the game more interesting and makes you want to complete it faster.
...

Pros: Great graphics, mind blowing puzzles, realistic sound
Cons: Can be frustrating, has infamous corner bug (where get stuck in corner), and point of view system needs improvement

By now, most people have heard of Tomb Raider. Available on both PC and PSX, as well as on Macs (though they don't have 3 yet), this adventure game was the first major move by video game developers to lure women into adventure gaming.

I...

Pros: An excellent group game.
Cons: A one player game.

Tomb Raider is an absolute challenge for your mind. I would highly recommend it to adults. Although this is a one player game, I have found it very exciting as a group game. As Lara Croft makes her way through the adventure I can't help but notice all...
