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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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: Fun to play, very challenging
Cons: None that my husband could find!

I bought Tomb Raider for my husband several years ago when it first was released, within a few days he was addicted! He loves Lara Croft of course, but also likes the strategy involved. He has spent hours on end playing this game, monopolizing the...

Pros: excellent gamage
Cons: don't let the nototrious boobs fool you

I'll admit. I love the Tomb Series. Do not be so quick to judge this buxom brunette by the untold folds of leering male players alone.

Take into consideration us female gamers who could care less that Lara's twins outrank her well-stocked...

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: 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: 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: It is so exciting
Cons: it takes up a lot of your free time

I got this game about three years ago and actually beat it about a year ago . It sucked my in and I spent a lot of my free time playing it . It was such an exciting game I actually felt like I was on an adventure . Since playing the first tomb raider...

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: Great game play, mind boggling puzzles, beautifully detailed 3d graphics
Cons: limited weapons

Don't let her looks fool you!! Lara Croft has got what it takes to get what she wants and will let nothing get in her way of doing the right thing.

The size of the obstacle will never intimate Lara and she will not let it intimidate you. I...

Pros: Graphics
Cons: time consuming

Okay, ready to get a laugh? I bought Tomb Raider last christmas...and I'm still not done playing it! It is a really fun game though! It helps with hand/eye coordination, and it teaches you to think, quote, "outside the box". Lara is awesome. 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...

Pros: Well-rounded, good atmosphere
Cons: Old game

When this game first appeared, it was awesome. Its conversion to Playstation was rough. The controls are kind of awkward, and Laura just doesn't seem to respond well. The game isn't near as exciting now, because she's just too slow. Walking around...

Pros: Good action
Cons: Not suitable for Kids!

Upon looking at the front cover of Tomb Raider, a
very interesting question comes to mind: I wonder
if this game would be as popular if this woman
lacked a chest???

With the comment about Tomb Raider being my
springboard,...

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: graphics, story, unique style, weapons, levels
Cons: the sequels are lame

When I first bought Tomb Raider, I didn't know what to think. It was one of those games that I bought because my grandma was with me, and she had money. I brought the game home after purchasing it, and threw it in my playstation. At first, the controls...

Pros: Lara is hot.
Cons: Her game is not.

As beautiful and graceful as she is, I can't recommend Tomb Raider. If you are into computer games, I guess you will like it, but I never play it on my Playstation-I sometimes play it to check Lara out, though. I have heard TR4 is much better-we...

Pros: Innovative new 3D exploration format
Cons: Under-developed graphics

A catalyst for a billion discussions in a billion bedrooms worldwide, this seemingly 100% commercial idea of planting a female heroine in an Indian Jones' style video game is a great success. Lara Croft is a warming presence in even the most dangerous of...

Pros: graphics, sound, puzzles
Cons: limited compared to the other series.

I've played every part of the Tomb Raider series, and i simply adore them. Part One is 3-D action that will leave you playing hour after hour because it is so addictive. Very good graphics that only improve throughout the series. You must start with...

Pros: Great graphics and game play
Cons: Not enough enemies, weak ending

Lara Croft is one of the hottest action heroes to date. With four full length adventures, as well as a few partial ones, the Tomb Raider series is one of today's most popular games. It's not hard to figure our why, but I still say, if you only get one,...

Pros: I liked the graphics the most
Cons: Getting the people to move where you want them was the hard part

Wow, I have never seen a game with such great graphics. This was one of the first game I ever played on the Playstation and I loved it! I was totally suprised with the difference from the Nintendos! My dad purchased the movie because he thought...

Pros: FUN, good graphics, lots of guns
Cons: seems never ending

One of the first games I purchased for my Playstation, and still one of my best buys. With numbers 2 and 3, and the Resident Evil Series this is one of my alltime favorite game. Lots of Weapons, lots of enemies, and lots of puzzles. This game takes a...

Pros: great graphics, sound effects, overall theme of game, Lara Croft is one tough chick
Cons: none

I received this game as a Christmas present with my Sony Playstation. I had wanted to get it before due to the really good graphics and the theme of the game.

When I first started playing it I was frustrated by how touchy the controller was...

Pros: very adventurous
Cons: have to kill lots of animals

I just love this game, Some neighbors of mine were playing it and since I usually don't like games much thought that with the adventure of it, it might be worth trying. Well let me tell you, at first we just rented it a few times and shortly after ended...

Pros: the most action packed game ever.
Cons: a little violent for some tastes

Tomb Raider is by far the best adventure game I have ever played. The game is set on the idea of Indiana Jones. The game is set in many interesting places from tombs to a "land of the lost". Lara has many things to help her along the way...

Pros: Lots of blood and gore
Cons: Disk takes to long (in my opinion) to load from one board to the next

I wanted to write about the actual playstation system, but since I will use this game for example I guess I could put it in this catagory.

I love the Sony Playstation for the games it has, it has a lot of great games, and I am one that likes...

Pros: Action & suspense in one
Cons: How do you say Lara?

I say her name is pronounced like this --- LAIR A (as in the feminine version of the name Larry), but my daughter says the name is pronounced LORE A (as in rhymes with GORE - A).A movie is being made about Tomb Raider, so that alone tells you that the...

Pros: nothing
Cons: everything

Tomb Raider is the worst game on play station. It is so boring to play and you rarely ever have to shoot or stab anything. It is so boring because most of the time you are playing the game you are walking around trying to find things. Also, it is not...

Pros: Mind-working
Cons: Bad graphics, difficult

This is not the best game, but is OK. Just don't buy it for its graphics. They're the worst graphics I've ever seen. The corners of everything are blocky, and the enemies are basically 3 colored blocks put together. The controls take a long time to get ...

Pros: Adventure Game
Cons: Sex Appeal!!!

Lara Croft breaks her way into tombs--maybe killing an endangered animal on the way--to get to the goodies inside......just loved the graphics and the sound is excellent. think this is a decent game.The games are inexpensive and fun to play.The violence ...

Pros: Great story line. Fun puzzles.
Cons: Stupid save game crystals. Lara has no ponytail during gameplay.

TOMB RAIDER is one of many great games that hit stores for Sony Playstation in 1996. The story begins when a desperate tycoon named Jacqueline Natla hires renowned archeologist/adventurer Lara Croft to find a mystical artifact called the Scion...

Pros: very puzzle oriented
Cons: gets old very quick

Some said that when Tomb Raider came the Playstation, the system found its Mario. Well unless Mario grows breasts larger than his currently big fat head, I don't see the comparison. I truly believe that the chest and butt of the main character are its...

Pros: Interesting until it becomes...
Cons: BORING!

I got this game to play on my Playstation, and was EXTREMELY frustrated! While it has many interesting and challenging aspects, the problem is simple: You can't save your game until you get to the end of a level! This is not the case on the PC...

Pros: .
Cons: .

I have this game for my computer. It can run on Windows 95 and DOS. I really like to play the game. It has such good graphics. The game is about Lara Croft. She was born into a rich powerful family but, she soon learned to depend on only herself to stay...

Pros: Shoot animals and stuff
Cons: Not much gun action

Laura Croft...she's strong! This game was pretty hard at first. Now...It's a piece of cake. She knows a lot of moves. Most are basically jumping. The graphics aren't perfect, but you could still see everything clearly. Wolves, bears, bats and flying...

Pros: Good Graphics, Great Gameplay, Hard Challenges.
Cons: None

This game rocks. Some of the actions include walking, swan diving, side stepping, running, back flipping, and side flipping. I thought a cool part of this game was during the end of the last level, you have to dive into a tiny pool 5 stories down. This...

Pros: Versatile, Good story line, entertaining
Cons: Takes a while to learn all the moves

Yes I am a fan of Tomb Raider.

I like all the moves the character has and the story line is also well thought out.

I must admit that until I had played the game for some serious length of time I could not quite master all her moves...

Pros: good story lines
Cons: graphics

Tomb Raiders is one of the best original psx games in the world. It started the hit TR series.I think tomb raider is a very good game.in a scale from 1 to 5 the Graphics get a 3.5 skill gets a 4.5 eniemies get a 5.0 control 5.0 story line 5.0. it does...

Pros: Stunning Graphics and Lara!
Cons: A bit expensive in the UK

If anyone would have told me a few years ago that I would be going crazy for a chick who does not even exist,I would have said that they were crazy ,but Lara Croft is one great piece of excitement.
No doubt Sony had all their wits about them...

Pros: Man is she hot! Oh sorry, fun game
Cons: Sound, Controls

I liked this game much better than the other games in the series. Its more fun, but I noticed there is not much sound. The gameplay is fun, but the controls are weird. I bought this game after friends recommened I buy it. They were somewhat right, but I didn't enjoy it as much as other action games.
