    In the future, hopefully Eidos's commitment to rejuvenating the series will carry over to the handheld installments, but this uninspired port feels like it belongs to the crumbling franchise of a few years ago rather than the new and improved Legend. [Dec. 2006, p.105]

    Enough venom. Don’t buy the DS version of Tomb Raider Legend.

    These levels weren't meant to be played from a fixed perspective, and the addition of several brutal bugs makes for a painful portable experience.
