    "The Last Revelation" is a game that really brings back that sense of "Lara exploring tombs", that was lost in the magnificent Tomb Raider 2 and in the minor Tomb Raider 3. But I say with regret that I was never able to finish it. The game is atrociously difficult: is humanly impossible a normal person able to finish it without the help of a walkthrough.

The entire game takes place in Egypt, and while it offers really beautiful surroundings, at a certain point I was tired of seeing sand and pyramids along the way, which made me lose interest to continue playing.

    The controls, like all old games of Lara Croft, are archaic in compared to the current generation. In "The Last Revelation" we have the movement of Lara crouched. This movement always was annoying and irritant for me, for being too slow. Men players from that time certainly liked to contemplate the view, and perhaps they didn't realize how slow that was, but as I'm a girl, I never saw any grace. But if you thought that only this is slow in this game, just wait to see the screens of Loading... Jesus Christ. Think of a thing slow like a slug. And this isn't comforting in a game where everything can kill you at any time. You spend more time waiting at the loading screen than playing.

    Not is a bad game (Is much better than Tomb 3 and Chronicles), but I only recommend "The Last Revelation" for the most ardent fans of Lara. If you've never played a old game of Tomb Raider, I recommend spending far from it.    … Expand

    This is the moment where the Tomb Raider series finally hitting rock bottom thanks to this game. I'm not saying The Last Revelation is a bad game everyone says, only Chronicles and The Angel of Darkness were both mediocre at best. I think it's a fairly decent sequel, but if you recall on the last 3 Tomb Raider games, this should've been extremely awesome whether it's fighting a T-Rex orThis is the moment where the Tomb Raider series finally hitting rock bottom thanks to this game. I'm not saying The Last Revelation is a bad game everyone says, only Chronicles and The Angel of Darkness were both mediocre at best. I think it's a fairly decent sequel, but if you recall on the last 3 Tomb Raider games, this should've been extremely awesome whether it's fighting a T-Rex or swimming past deadly sharks, or discovering Area 51's mysterious secrets. Tomb Raider still keeps me waiting for a fun and dangerous adventure awaits in one Lara Croft excitement. But The Last Revelation wasn't quite daring enough. I've played the game on Steam (or Playstation) and it was fun. The acting was great, the story was great, the puzzles were kinda difficult (the tutorial was a bit meh). In fact, the ending where Lara Croft trying to save her father until a boulder of rocks starting to crumble and Lara Croft dies will indeed be gone down in infamy as one of the worst endings in video game history. That's what happens when Core Design started everything nice and fresh until it burns all the way down the rabbit hole. Everything is just the same in this game, awful tank controls, the level designs are just not the same like it should've been done in previous games, and also I just hope Toby Gard (since he left Core in 1997) is very sad and unhappy why his former bosses at Core starting treating Lara Croft as a iconic sexpot who like most men sees her breast in every game, but that's over with. Lara is now C-cup now in the recent Tomb Raider reboot series (which, technically, was his idea choice for an Indiana Jones-like female character ever since the first Tomb Raider was in development from the early begginings in 1993) and that's why Lara Croft is still the reigning queen of video games. In short, The Last Revelation is still re-playable, but let Crystal Dynamics do all the work and let Croft stills what she does best, killing every bastard and every artifact she can find.… Expand

    This game returns to the roots. With focuses more on exploration and puzzle solving. Fewer weapons, Fewer outfits, and fewer locations. The whole game takes place in Egypt. The storyline is probably the most epic of 32-bit Tomb Raider. The engine feels smoother and refined more than ever now. It's visually superior to TR1-3, but the changes are far from drastic. TLR has a slow pace.This game returns to the roots. With focuses more on exploration and puzzle solving. Fewer weapons, Fewer outfits, and fewer locations. The whole game takes place in Egypt.

TLR has a slow pace. Crawling and climbing around becomes more of a annoyance. Backtracking between levels creates a feeling of a huge open world, but is rather tedious. The vehicle bits are decent, but don't hold a candle to TR2 and 3. This is a huge game. This is a good game. However, once you've played through it a few times it's hard to go back to it.… Expand

    This game is FAR better than Tomb Raider III. The level design is better, The graphics are great for a PS1 game and the story is the best in the series a this point. I would recommend it to people who like platformers
