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

    Beautiful adventure, Music and fantastic riddles :') I'm so happy to have witnessed this game in 1999.

    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.

    Due to horrible controls, a depthless storyline and the awfully simple puzzels compared to previous Indiana Jones titles, no more than a 3 is justified. LucasArts should have put more attention to the technical side as well as to the storyline. It's a shame title considering the potential of the Indiana Jones series and character.

    "Nope". Controls are lousy, can't seem to climb a 2ft ledge without having to press the A button more than 4 times.

    I wish there weren't so many little gliches in the game. Other than that the game was awesome.

    It's a pretty hard game and very challenging, but it's still lots of fun.

    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.

    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.

    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.
