    As far as I’m concerned Tomb Raider 2 is timeless and truly brilliant… Many regard this as their favourite of the entire Tomb Raider franchiseAs far as I’m concerned Tomb Raider 2 is timeless and truly brilliant… Many regard this as their favourite of the entire Tomb Raider franchise and it certainly is one of the best… Okay it’s an old game made of square and triangle blocks and the textures are questionable at best, but despite its age, it still makes an absolute brilliant play and provides countless hours of fun! As a whole Tomb Raider 2 is one of my all-time favourite video games. Expand

The first game was revolutionary but overly "square", and Tomb Raider 3 had better graphics, but it was very difficult and "more of the same". Tomb Raider 2 got the middle ground: maintained the essence of the first game with improvements in graphics and gameplay, but without being confused, "more of the same" and unnecessarily difficult as the third game. In short, Tomb Raider 2 bordered on perfection. While Tomb 1 is visually dark and claustrophobic, the phases of Tomb 2 are more colorful, biggest and very memorable. The four phases of the wreck of Maria Doria are by far my favorite phases of all Tomb Raider serie, for its immersive atmosphere, symbolically and literally. Novice players of this new generation will certainly face major difficulties with the game controls, which are well archaic. No movement is automatic or fluid: from one platform to another, all the leaps and Lara moves must be calculated accurately by the player himself; otherwise it's instant death. The good news is what the PC version is possible to save the game any time you want. Expand

Along with the Golden Mask expansion it took me 22 hours to finish it. Surprisingly, I didn't get bored with it and played all the way through the end. It was very long, but relaxing, fun and nostalgia inducing. I took my time with it and savoured every little piece of puzzle.

    The only beef I have with it is that it includes way too much shooting. After a while getting rid of enemies felt more like a chore I had to do to get back to the actual game than exciting action.

The story kept you engaged throughout and the level design is up there with some of the best in Tomb Raider. One of the best Tomb raiders out there in my opinion. Expand

    I disagree with the common notion here.
    I always loved TR.
    But in TR II is a disapointment to me, more so having replayed it recently.
    It only has 2 levels that are really cool, and those are the first two levels.
    That alone tells you something about it's development.
    You had the venice level as a demo, got mindblown, and the game Sold.
    Too bad the rest of the stages are boring, ugly, some of them downright annoying.
    That is a shame because the beginning of the game is so promising.
    In my opinion, TRIII is the best of the classics, but the first is almost as good.
    Thank the industry here they have really made a great new series too,
    I cant think of another game that could be so beautiful.
