The Tomb Raider series has often unfairly been referred to as a poor mans Uncharted, but in reality, both franchises are great and offer completely different experiences, while Uncharted is mainly a third person shooter with some platforming and puzzles, Tomb Raider is more of a puzzle-platformer with some third person shooting. This pack includes Tomb Raider Legend and Tomb Raider Anniversary remastered in HD as well as the 2008 release: Tomb Raider Underworld, and all of this for one low price. Tomb Raider Legend was released in 2006 and was sort of like a reboot for the franchise, the series was previously developed by Core Design, but after the flop of Angel of Darkness, the publishers handed the franchise over to Crystal Dynamics, the new developers fixed the main issue with previous games, stiff controls, and produced a flawless control scheme. The story of Tomb Raider Legend is pretty good and takes some twists along the way, the story revolves around Lara Croft searching for clues on what happened to her mother. The only bad thing in Legend is that the puzzles are easier than in the other Tomb Raider games, however, the level design is still fantastic and the platforming is enjoyable as ever making Tomb Raider Legend still a great game for the series. In 2007, Tomb Raider Anniversary was released, Tomb Raider Anniversary is a remake of the revolutionary 1996 classic, the game follows the same plot as the original, which is not that great, the real star of Anniversary is the levels, the level design is amazing and the puzzles really suck you in and make you feel like your in the game world. Tomb Raider Underworld is a conclusion to Tomb Raider Legend with the story referencing to Tomb Raider Anniversary at some points. The level design in Underworld is perfect and the puzzles are superbly designed, this combined with near photo-realistic visuals really immerses you in the game world. The games also have some combat gameplay, while the weapons don't pack a real punch, the combat is still fun and enjoyable, it is mainly used in Tomb Raider Legend, there is also some animal shooting in Tomb Raider Anniversary and the combat is Tomb Raider Underworld is used sparingly but the lack of combat works well with Underworld's atmosphere. Unfortunately the camera likes to get in the way at times in all the games, which will sometimes have you making leaps of faith too your doom and sometimes might have you screaming at the TV, however these issues don't distract from the experience too much.
The visuals are also great across all the games, Legend and Anniversary have had a good HD remastering and look the same, if not better than some current gen games. The visuals in Tomb Raider Underworld are absolutely fantastic and look almost photo-realistic, Lara herself looks very lifelike, but the real star is the amazingly designed environments.
Sound effects and voice acting are also well done and facial expressions in the cutscenes are well done. The only problem is that the sound in the cutscenes in Tomb Raider Legend is a little unbalanced when compared to the gameplay, luckily this is not too much of a big issue.
If your a fan of Tomb Raider of puzzle-platformers in general, you won't be disappointed with The Tomb Raider Trilogy. The Tomb Raider Trilogy gets a superb 9/10.
