Tomb Raider

When it was released, Tomb Raider broke new ground in the third-person arena, and it continues to do so today. If puzzles and exploration are up your alley, I strongly recommend that you go out and get this game as soon as you can (although I think I was the last person left on the face of the earth who hadn't already played this game). As far as "game for the dollar" goes, Tomb Raider is tops.

You could make an argument that the underrated Fade to Black blazed this trail almost two years ago, and it's not hard to wish that someone would actually throw a compelling story in the mix, but neither of those things keep Tomb Raider from being anything but an unqualified success. Without the lure of multiplayer compensating for sloppy or uninspired design, it focuses on what has always made games great - gameplay that delivers a roller-coaster ride of thrills, spills and chills.

Overall, Tomb Raider is a fantastic adventure with non-stop action and puzzles. I think that it's one of the reasons why games even exist. It's my favorite game to date and I'm sure you'll agree when you see it. Run out and buy a copy NOW! You will love it! And if you know any secrets, write me by clicking on my byline. I'd love to hear how to get to ALL of the secret areas in the game.

As I keep saying, Tomb Raider is superb. It really has got 'something for everyone'. Arcade fans will love the exceptional platform-style gameplay (and the trigger-happy combat). Puzzle freaks will love the mazes and problems. Adventure addicts will love the exploration and slowly-unravelled storyline. All three will love the ever-present element of surprise. Cybertwats will love the standard-setting visuals. Female players will love Lara. Male players will love Lara more, for foul and dirty reasons. And last but not least, the accountants at Eidos will love it because it'll no doubt set tills nationwide ringing like a red alert in a bell factory. It deserves no less. It's an instant classic. Try it. You'll like it. I loved it.

Tomb Raider er det mest nytænkende spil i lang tid, og man sidder totalt fanget af den intense atmosfære, spilverdenen skaber. Tomb Raider er bare for fedt!

This game rocks. Not only does it redefine gender roles, it is a game you will truly remember. I found it refreshing and stunning, and it brings fresh blood to a game style that has been flooded with duplicates and look-alike sequels. This is a game that will appeal to most any gamer, especially those that are interested in 3D games, but have found them too brainless or violent. Tomb Raider is a game with an attitude, and I like it. I give it a 93 out of 100, and hope to see more quality groundbreakers from Eidos in the future.

When you take a look at all the action games available, you will remark that despite all the differences that exist between them, they all have the same common point, the hero's gender. Since the early stages of the video games industry, the main character of action games has always been a male. From the old titles of Pitfall and Prince of Persia to the more recent games such as Fade to Black and Time Commando, you untiringly take the role of a male adventurer, and with nine out of ten players being male, it is surely not easy to bend the balance in the other direction. There is one title though that could change all this, and this game is Tomb Raider.

Tomb Raider es simplemente increible, es de lo mejorcito en 3D desde Quake.Lara Croft es uno de los personajes más reales que jamas ha aparecido en un juego de ordenador. La manera de moverse, escalar, nadar... tiene un look realmente autentico. Aparte del perfecto movimiento en 3D, Lara se gana el protagonismo dentro de la pantalla.Cuando la veas pelearse con un oso, o moviendo piedras, que parecen material en bruto de las pirámides, empezarás a darte cuenta que Lara podria pelearse con el tipo de Duke Nukem manteniendo el tipo muy alto.

Alhoewel Tomb Raider ook wel enige puzzel- en zoekelementen bevat, blijft het in de eerste plaats een shoot 'em up. Als je daar een grondige hekel aan hebt, zal zelfs Tomb Raider je niet kunnen overtuigen. Voor alle andere spelliefhebbers: You will love Lara Croft!

Der Versuch, dieses Spiel mit anderen modernen Vertretern des 3D-Action-Genres zu vergleichen, kommt einer Quadratur des Kreises nahe. Von gelegentlichen Clipping-Fehlern abgesehen, besitzt Tomb Raider zwar alle technischen Vorzüge, die man von einem bekannten id-Spiel gewohnt ist. Allerdings setzt Tomb Raider die Meßlatte in fast allen Belangen ein Stückchen höher.

Tomb Raider har været længe undervejs. Lækre Lara sælger spillet godt, men hun er mere end bare pixels. Tomb Raider er flot og spændende, og efter installationen vil du gennemføre det. Køb det før din nabo.

Tomb Raider is the exploratory game you always wished you were playing when you were trying to solve Atari Raiders of the Lost Ark.The variety of jumping and grabbing actions, the huge, sometimes vertigo-inducing worlds, and the smooth 3D graphics found in Tomb Raider are reminiscent of Mario 64, though the game's violent overtones and spooky ambiance definitely set it apart from the older title.

Außerdem reicht es nicht, dem Spieler große Gebiete vorzusetzen, die dieser einfach zeitraubend durchlaufen muß. Mehr unterschiedliche Ereignisse, ein paar zusätzliche Gegner und andere Extras als Auflockerung, dann würde die Grabräuberei sicher einen Spitzenplatz im Olymp der Computerspiele erreichen. Aber auch im Anbetracht aller Kritik ist Tomb Raider weit mehr als nur einen prüfenden Blick mehr. Mein Tip: Anspielen!

From time to time there is a game that, while not being the first of its kind, successes as a pioneer of a new genre and become the reference against which all future games alike are measured. An example of such a game is Tomb Raider. Since the original title, the series has spawned many sequels (not counting the Gold versions) and crossed multiple gaming platforms to be among the most popular game franchise in history. It is in the original Tomb Raider that we first meet our heroine, whose fascination has since grown far beyond the boundaries of a computer or a console. What is her name? Her name is Lara Croft.

Im ersten Tomb Raider Abenteuer trifft sich Lara mit Jacqueline Natla in einem tibetanischen Pub, kurz nachdem sie von einer Jagd am Himalaja zurückkehrte. Von ihr erfährt sie von der Existenz dreier Artefakte die angeblich direkt aus dem verschollenen Atlantis stammen sollen. Nach letzten Berichten zufolge befinden sich die Einzelteile auf der ganzen Welt verstreut. Da kann die eingefleischte Abenteurerin Lara natürlich nicht widerstehen und sie beschließt den Auftrag anzunehmen.

Il y a des personnages qui, sans que vous sachiez réellement pourquoi, vous attirent. C’est plus fort que vous. Une sorte d’attraction animale, un magnétisme originel. Indubitablement, l’héroïne de Tomb Raider aura marqué la fin de la domination phallocrate sur nos beaux ordinateurs. Depuis que mademoiselle Croft a fait son apparition, le monde du jeu vidéo a changé. Les hard core gamers se découvrent une copine à quelques mètres d’eux et réfléchissent à deux fois avant de recommencer une partie lorsqu’une voix féminine venue du fond de la pièce leur murmure « tu viens te coucher, dis ? ». En bref, Lara Croft est le premier sex symbol virtuel du monde du jeu vidéo.
