    I've been a huge fan of the Tomb Raider games from the beginning and have been enjoying the chance to play on the DS. The game play is easy, the levels flow well, and the checkpoints aren't nearly as difficult as some of the reviews will have you believe.

    The End is not conclusive. It seems to lead to another game, like Legend 2. This mede it desaponting. It could have more 3D action and the problems shoud be that way, to became more challengin.

    2D platformer that owes a lot to the earlier Prince Of Persia games. The levels are a bit short and easy and it's not always obvious which ledges can be grabbed making for some annoyingly unnecessary deaths, but the movement is fluid and the presentation nice making for a reasonably fun little arcade adventure.

    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]

    Frustrating in a hurl-the-cartridge-into-the-North-Sea way. Easily the worst of the three versions. Unacceptable! [Dec 2006, p.40]

    Indeed, so much of what was an otherwise quality adventure has been lost in the transition, this is more like a book of the film where half of the pages have been torn out. Avoid.
