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.

Tomb Raider set a new standard for action/adventure games, featuring realistic 3-D creatures and huge expansive levels. The first Tomb Raider game is a classic, appealing to the Indiana Jones in all of us. Lara Croft makes for a beautiful heroine, and the third-person view provides some dramatic camera angles.

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.

This game is one of they best I've ever seen for the new Playstation yet. The huge levels really give the feeling of exploring. Nothing beats running into a room so gigantic you can't even see the other side!

This game will go down in gaming history as a classic. If you don't want to miss out, play this game!

Tomb Raider is one of the several "must-buys" of the holiday season. It's huge nonlinear levels, awesome character animation and gripping soundtrack give the game a cinematic feel and make Tomb Raider an instant classic.

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.

Without question, one of the very best games available for the PlayStation, Saturn and PC CD-Rom, Tomb Raider is a must have for any system.

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.

Tomb Raider's only real problem lies in the graphics. To be frank, the seams in the textures are glaringly noticeable. Some of the background images are also pretty chunky. These points aside, though, Tomb raider is one of the best games on 1996.

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.

I just think the team at Core was going for a horror movie "jump scare" moment because whenever a group of animals or people enter the screen that you have to shoot the music kicks on. It's a good attempt, but it's just too quiet. However, the voice acting is almost as good as a video game gets. While Capcom was toiling away at trying to make "the master of unlocking" sound formidable, Eidos got it right on the first try.

A couple of pointers for future spelunkers: Judicious use of medikits is essential, although if you spend a little time searching for hidden goodies, you should have more than enough to keep you fit and healthy. There are plenty of save points, from which you can choose to restart on any previous level, should you so desire. It is worth remembering that Lara can grip onto the most precarious of ledges and leap onto the most unlikely of rocks, so keep your eyes peeled for possible access to gifts on high. In this, you need not rely on the intelligent camera. You have to option of making Lara (i.e. you) look around, up and down. It is always desirable to be aware of your surroundings, especially when you find yourself in a room straight out of Max Escher's doodle-book.

Anyway. Best of luck. Stiff upper lip and all that. We love this game here at game-revolution. We're pretty sure you will too. We give it a rare 'A'.

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!

It is perhaps unfortunate that Tomb Raider has appeared now, several months after Super Mario 64. Even though the two games were created thousands of miles apart, Core Design has managed to create an experience more than slightly akin to – and featuring many features of – what many see as the best game of all time. If SM64 was still six months away, Tomb Raider would be justifiable hailed as one of the finest videogame experiences ever. But, while it may not be seen as redefining the videogame per se, it will certainly be seen to be pushing the 3D platformer towards a new level of excellence.

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.

Overall, Playstation thrill-seekers should sign on for this Raider adventure...and hope for another one next year.

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.

Tomb Raider is simply a smart game, bursting with great touches. In the training level, Lara takes players through her house, into her gym, and tutors them on the skills they'll need to stay alive. Fortunately, the complicated maneuvers can be learned in moments. This is the first 32-bit game to compete with Nintendo 64's polygon arsenal, and it handles itself very well. If there are more Playstation and Saturn releases like this one, Lara and her followers might very well be uncovering Nintendo 64s along with the other artifacts in Tomb Raider 5.

Dare un voto obiettivo sarebbe quindi impossibile: metro di giudizio dei tempi per il valore storico che ha avuto o metro di giudizio odierno? Una via di mezzo tra i due non avrebbe senso, Per questo si è deciso per un voto tutto basato sui gusti personali di chi scrive.

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.

Take the puzzle solving of Resident Evil, the gory action of Loaded, and the 360-degree freedom most gamers only dream of, and you have Tomb Raider, the closest thing to a "Mario 64 killer" to date. The plumber assassin comes in the form of a gun-toting, acrobatic beauty by the name of Lara Croft, an archeologist in search of pieces of an ancient artifact, and the woman you guide through 12 levels. Sure, it sounds a lot like Indiana Jones - but Indy never wore short shorts.

The lack of clarity is a shame, because Tomb's like a wild cryptozoo gone bad. Lions, alligators, wolves and even velociraptors hunt you down. If exploration's your thing, then Raider is for you. Have no fear about entering this Tomb.

Tomb Raider est un bien bon titre qui se pare d'une réalisation très correcte. L'adaptation est fidèle au jeu d'origine et on prend beaucoup de plaisir à diriger à nouveau Lara dans sa toute première aventure. Dommage par contre que des problèmes de gameplay nuisent à une immersion encore plus grande mais pour un premier coup d'essai c'est plutôt réussi.

When the original Tomb Raider was first released it was an instant classic, and many people dreamed about playing while they were away from their Playstation’s. By today’s standards there is nothing special at all about this game, but it will touch a lot of people who are fond of this title. Plus it is a great game to show the capabilities of this new console.

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.

Tomb Raider was a momentous game when it was released back in 1996, and seven years later as we revisit it as an N-Gage title Lara's age is beginning to show (mainly in its unintuitive controls and sluggish gameplay). While those accustomed to modern games with more refined controls may want to give Tomb Raider a thorough test before purchasing, fans of the original who want to relive the title in handheld form, and the more patient newcomers to the franchise (all three of you out there) will still enjoy this piece of gaming history gone portable.

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.

Paradoxically, Tomb Raider would primarily appeal to fans of the original game in the series, but these fans already played this game long ago. Then again, it's certainly been a while, so they probably wouldn't remember every square inch of the game's big levels. This new version of Tomb Raider is indeed an accurate reflection of the original look and feel of Tomb Raider, for the most part. But by today's standards, the gameplay just doesn't stack up.

There's a reason each edition of this franchise sold fewer copies than the one previous. It's an awful game that managed to work as a new experience. With each entry, the controls and slowly declining quality sank it. This first Tomb Raider shows how bad it really was, and there's no room for leniency because it's running on an over powered cell phone.

n the end, if you've bought an N-Gage, try to avoid this title. Then again, there's really not that much choice is there? I suggest that you maybe give the game a chance, since it does go out of its way to feature online "Ghost Racing" (which I never checked out but I here is a pain to use) and also includes some exclusive levels. So it may actually put the N-Gage to use before you put it in its box in hopes of selling a practically unused system on EBay in 20 years. For the rest of you, don’t buy an N-Gage… for this game…

What it comes down to is whether or not you actually enjoy these dungeon-crawling games. I've always found the combat hilariously bad, the level design tedious, and nonsensical and the "appealing" heroine about as bland as watching the Earth erode. Tomb Raider on the N-Gage may look great for a handheld, but it's also a single-player experience on a multiplayer-friendly console, and a dull one at that. If you're a fan of this series, it may be a nostalgic look back to the glory days of the franchise. For the rest, it's a bit of a slog through territory they've likely outgrown.

There's not much to admire here except seeing PSone graphics in their glory squished into one eye-sore adventure. The most fun will be had with the online options. Shadow gaming is competitive and online ranking is cool.

Everyone has at least one well-known and much sold game on his list of games that he or she detests. I knew fellows which couldn't stand the sight of Prince of Persia or Virtua Fighter, depsite their commercial and critical successes. Defunct Games' head editor Cyril slashed Myst. My personal hatred goes to Core's Tomb Raider. I never have understood the fuss about this game.
