  1. If you get past the controls, you'll be rewarded with a fun, thoughtful adventure.

    If you've never experienced "Tomb Raider," this game will rock your world. Otherwise it'll be about as familiar as a two-year-old pair of shoes.

    The "Tomb Raider" that Nintendo 64 owners never got. It's a complex, sometimes downright difficult puzzle-filled action-adventure with beautiful visuals and a fun storyline.
  4. Better tomb raiding fare than Lara Croft's adventures, and console-wise, it's only available for Nintendo 64 --tell your Sony loving friends to sit that in their CD tray and rotate.
  5. A consistently excellent action/adventure with original level design and excellent visuals and audio.

    The slow-paced gameplay and monotonous platform-style action is likely to grate on your nerves and provide more than a few bouts of exhausted frustration.
  7. A big game, to be sure, with enough levels to keep you busy over a three-day rental period. The puzzles within them aren't very original or entertaining, but seeing that this is the only Tomb Raider-style game to come to the Nintendo 64, it deserves at least a little leeway.
  8. An adventure game that looks and plays shamelessly like "Tomb Raider," only without the oversized breasts.

    1 of the best games for its time. The levels are challenging and sometimes you have to think hard. just keep in mind its an old game.

    Weak Tomb Raider rip-off with clumsy controls and dialogue so bad that it does the impossible and makes Indiana Jones seem desperately uncool.
