I am a big Tomb Raider fan...and when i found out that the latest game was coming out, i was excited about it. I'm 16 years old and round about when the 1st ones came out, i sat at the side and controlled the guns while my dad played the game, as i got older we started to take it in turns to play.
But its sad to say that Tomb Raider Legend has lost a lot of the qualities, it was the little things that made tomb raider what it is and different from the rest. Such as the little "Ahhh" noises Lara made when she had a medipack. the way she made a struggling noise as she pulled herself up on any box or cliff. Tomb Raider Legend has none of these things, and i think its a real let down.
The controls for Lara have also changed, and just the general way she moves. Backflips can only be done with the guns out..and you cant just press space bar and let her run around with her guns out and ready. The turning has changed, when you pressed right...she used to swivel right..and now she moves right. its just different.
Any one remember the good old days with the longer story lines, more free to roam around, the levers, the tigers and even in one tomb raider, the dinosaurs? Saying all that...there were a few things that i really liked in the game aswel, such as the grapple, the general graphics of the game (although i preferred it when the cut scenes were more like proper movies and you couldn't see that it was a game). Laras mansion was good, the indoor gym was excellent and generally fun to roam around. But i would have liked to be able to go out on the assault course like in some of the previous tomb raider games. The story was generally good and entertaining..and the characters were believable.
All in all i hope the next Tomb Raider game keeps to the standards and traditions to the earlier tomb raider games.
