...First of all I hope you find this review and the opinions in it very very very helpful! Tomb Raider 4: The Last Revalation is an excellent game, just like all of the tomb raider series. This is promised to be the last Tomb Raider game, and Eidos have taken Lara out in style. The graphics are smooth and brilliant and the gameplay is even betterm with the other 3 Tomb Raider games it was either action or puzzles, but this 4th adventure combines both which is great. I would recommend you buy this game, its excellent- but only if you have patience as it really requires it.... Read review

Advantages: Lara
Disadvantages: Completly boring

...The Tomb Raider chronicle Its that time again, the middle of November, TOMB RAIDER MONTH. This time of year we have come to expect a release of the Tomb Raider series, but are they actually improving on it? Tomb Raider 1was originally, and in all cases an excellent game, everyone owned a copy it came out on all consoles, then Tomb Raider 2 came out. This was a better game, different story, new moves and better graphics. Lara now becomes very well known for here assets Then it all went wrong As Eidos began to cash in more and more on lara Tomb Raider 3 came out, which ran the franchise very thin. The usual Lara, somehow jumping about the planet at differing locations, and not doing any Tomb Raiding in the whole game, as the title may suggest. Oh no then Tomb Raider 4, it was now becoming very boring, just Tomb Raider 3... Read review

Advantages: Good graphics
Disadvantages: A bit repeatitative

...Tomb Raider The Last Revelation is possibly the most difficult one out of the Tomb Raiders. The gameplay is as good as the other Tomb Raiders, if not, even better. The graphics and sound in this game are superb, just what you need in a game like this. The game does get a bit repeatitative at some points, but it is still a very good quality game. In the game you have to get through mazes, solve puzzles and get pass some traps, this makes the game more of a challange.... Read review

Advantages: The Original
Disadvantages: None

...It may of been the first in the series, but the original tomb raider is still by far the best! Ok, the picture may not be quite as sharp, and there may not be as many effects, but the story and the game play are second to none. From the training area at the start, the opening cut scene, lara ooooozzzzes sex appeal, not bad for a computer character. There are plenty of puzzells, doors to open and loads of nastys to kill. Forget the rest and play the best. The rest in the series are also good, with tomb raider 111 being the next best thing. Long live Lara Croft and all who play with her.... Read review

Advantages: Graphically an improvement
Disadvantages: Very, very hard

...This is the without a doubt, in my opinion, the best tomb raider so far. The graphics are very good ,improving on TRII and the movement of Lara has been much improved also. The game is very hard, if you haven't played any of the Tomb Raiders before I suggest you do to get a feel for the game before trying this. I dont know anyone who completed it without some help from the walkthrough. Because of this it's not as much fun as the 2 previous TombRaiders. The selection of weapons is good (even though it takes around 15 shots of the pistols to kill someone) but there are not enough enemies to use them on. For me it is a very good game, but people I have spoke to have very different opinions on it. If you're into the TR series then give it a go. If not then I would think twice before buying....

...I know some people will critisise my own opinions , but I feel that Eidos have cracked onto something great with the Tomb Raider series. Tomb Raider The Last Revelation was the cherry on the top of the ice-cream. Although I own all previous titles I found this one just as involving and as good as any other one. The graphics area superb and so is the gameplay, the all round play is so interactive you feel you are in the game! In this game there is a new inventory system, a crossbow, laser-sight, binoculas and flashlight. It also includes some new moves for Lara, pole climbing and rope swinging. What more can I say about this game, than it is simply wonderful. It is an improvement on Tomb Raider 3 and hopefully Eidos will come up with something similar. Keep it the good work Eidos!...

Advantages: Lara Croft, what more can I say?
Disadvantages: Some of the areas to explore are perhaps TOO big?

...With most sequels you are always a bit apprehensive, wondering if it's going to be just the same old thing again. But not with Core's Tomb Raider series, and the 4th one, "The Last Revelation", is well worth every penny. The FMV sequences are once again up to their high standard, even from the first Tomb Raider these were state of the art, and although there are not as many new moves added as in previous installments, the gameplay is still there, the weapons are fun, and the vehicles are out of this world. Core have done it once again, and I'm actually now looking forward to Tomb Raider 5 when it hits the shelves. A game that you will never tire of.... Read review

Advantages: Improved game overall
Disadvantages: Still Tomb Raider...getting bored yet?

...Tomb Raider - probably the most original game when it came out and still going strong. Tomb Raider was a pace setter - slow, not too difficult. Tomb Raider II took over the baton, improved the missions and graphics a little bit. Tomb Raider III was just far too difficult for first time players and needed loads of patience and practice to get some of those tricky jumps and moves. Tomb Raider IV takes all that is good about the whole series, creates a completely different storyline, based in the past as a prequel as is the trend at the moment, and creates an almost totally new engine for Lara. The playability has improved and extra features like the improved inventory where you can pair up items like a flashlight and gun or scope and rifle to get those tricky long range shots. All this helps to create a much more playable game. Also... Read review

Advantages: Graphics and Playability
Disadvantages: Music

...I'm a Tomb Raider virgin. I've never played any Tomb Raiders before I tried Tomb Raider III for the Playstation. What was my verdict? Mixed. I was mightily impressed by the Graphics and the ingeniousness of the scenarios. Lara's house is a nice touch. All of the settings are well presented and Lara herself looks tremendous. However, I found that many of the levels were impossible to complete without the help of Cheats and Walkthrus which I discovered online. Sometimes I felt that TR III was less of a game and more like a addictive computerised punishment. This was worsened by the Save Game option (either only 1 game can be stored or I'm missed come instructions somewhere). I was also very disappointed by the (lack of) music. Surely a product of the calibre of Tomb Raider deserves to be more pleasing on the ears. Despite my... Read review

Advantages: Colourful, good effects
Disadvantages: Too similar to Tomb Raider

...This game is very similar to Tomb Raider and syphon filter. You get to control a green beret who has to save the world once again. This game is very colourful and the gameplay is fun. Despite this, it is not worth buying. There are too many games like this out there. If you want to shoot some bad guys, buy Medal of Honour, if you want a big adventure, but Tomb Raider 5 when it comes out in the winter. This gam ehas its highs and lows,but unfortunately there are more lows than highs in this game.... Read review
