My First Tomb Raider Game, And Well... WOW!

User Rating: 9.5 | Tomb Raider: Legend XBOX
Tomb Raider went pretty bad after the fourth one I heard, and when it was revived for the PS2 many a year ago, it stunk, bad. But, have no fear, Eidos to the rescue with Tomb Raider Legend.

You play as Lara Croft, an English explorer whose not afraid to pull out the pistols on any evil dudes. The game starts off with it's own story, and focuses on Lara trying to find clues to her mother's dissapearence. The game has been totally revamped, so Lara is no longer glued to a chess board, you can move freely. There is plenty to keep you coming back, which is collecting bronze, silver, and gold idols hidden around the level. These unlock new costumes, character biographies. The costumes are awesome, ranging from a bikini to the original Lara costume. The graphics are awesome, and each area you are in makes you feel like you're there. The only problem is that, it's too short, though seeing as this was a "toe-in-the-water" game, it can be forgiven.

Overall, Tomb Raider Legend is a fantastic game which can be recommended to anyone, whether they like exploration, or just looking at Lara's chest.
