Tomb Raider: Legend

Well, from the screams and giggles coming from the other room

Take advantage of the good vibes and FHUTA.

I probably shouldn't be posting this, but that was yesterday...

Nice!

Sounds like you got a keeper.

Finally played it. Seemed pretty good. I couldnt figure out what to do so I gave up Stupid block puzzle! I probably wont buy the game but I would like to give it a rent sometime.

1.) place a block on the end of the see-saw with a box drawing on it
2.) climb the contruct in the middle of the room to the highest point
3.) jump down onto the "up" end of the see-saw
4.) Box will flip onto the ledge for you
5.) do it for the other box
6.) cover all three glowing squares with boxes
7.) climb on the chain, scale the side of the room to the exit

Well, from the screams and giggles coming from the other room, I gather that Mrs. Yoshi's initial impressions are positive. I know better than to try to get the first turn on a new Tomb Raider game. Tomb Raider is to Mrs. Yoshi what Castlevania is to me.

Join de club, mon. Tomb Raider is to Mrs. FX what Mega Man is to me, yep.

I played the demo today, and they really did a pretty good job, but at the same time it's not a game I need to play ever again. The combat is stiff and the direction flow of the game can get confusing. I beat the demo, and if I was given this game as a gift I'd play it, but I have no desire to rent or play it again.

Now that I'm done with Oblivion, I am finally giving this the attention it deserves. It's definitely the best entry in the series since the original, and if this winds up having dinosaurs, it might even pass that.

I beat this game just this morning. It is a really good return to what made TR great but it just misses the mark for top 2 in the series. The main problem is the game is a bit short and doesn't get to the really good stuff until the last 1/4 of the game. When it is good it's really good. I just hope the inevitable sequel starts where this one left off as far as levels because the end levels are much better than the beginning ones.

Minor ending spoiler: You will be pissed if you don't like cliffhanger endings.

Can you give more impressions Yoshi? I'm getting a 360 this week, I've got my eye on this.

Rumpy, if you liked/loved TR1 or TR 4(Last Revelation) then you will dig this entry. It is a return to roots with the way combat is kind of secondary to the exploring, which is what made TR great. I played it on hard mode right from the beginning and I'm glad I did. It would have been a cakewalk on any other difficulty.

So, the last 30 minutes? The inevitable sequel should start for free.

This game has about 2 hours of tombs, and that is completely linear and entirely like a Prince of Persia (if you like that, I hear there are three of those already with 100% more game).

Don't be a sucker, people who haven't but might actually buy this. I loved TR1, this is crap.
