Reviews on Tomb Raider: Legend [PC]

JoeMD on Tomb Raider: Legend [PC], 08-07-2009

"Believe it or not, Tomb Raider Legend was my first Tomb Raider game. I never played the originals, I didn't own a Playstation (or any of Sony's consoles since). Instead I grew to know Lara through the 20-first issues of the brilliant Top Cow Tomb Raider comic series. Still, I knew what the gamers where all about and had an idea of what to expect.

Tomb Raider: Legend is pretty much exactly what I expected from a Tomb Raider game. Nimble aerobatics, monsters, ancient and powerful relics and a lot of running around in tombs. The navigation of the tombs and various areas are by far the most enjoyable parts of the game. The battles are frustrating and just get in the way of raiding tombs. The final boss battle had me screaming at the computer for being unfair.

Tomb Raider Legend is an enjoyable game, it's just a shame it has rubbish battle mechanics and some rather frustrating areas."
