    Graphics get better all the time, but gameplay dramatically reduced per each new game released. This game took equivalent to half a day to complete, very short. The freedom to roam and climb has vanished, dissapointed.

    Good game but the controls leave a lot to be desired, especially the swimming..... still they are better than Angel of Darkness but Tomb Raider 1 had better controls!

    i shall always have fond memories of tombraider i just hope i can forget about this one though. it jumps from location to location so fast that you can never grasp its atmosphere, the gameplay quikly becomes repetitve and any level outside of the tombs are dirct rip offs of james bond games(EA should sue for the moterbike sequence) where are the ghostly shipwecks , undergroud cities and i shall always have fond memories of tombraider i just hope i can forget about this one though. it jumps from location to location so fast that you can never grasp its atmosphere, the gameplay quikly becomes repetitve and any level outside of the tombs are dirct rip offs of james bond games(EA should sue for the moterbike sequence) where are the ghostly shipwecks , undergroud cities and ginat spxnxs theres no imagination in this tiltle. tomb raider has been turned into a subtance less piece of hollywood popcorn, i almost preffer angel of darkness.… Expand

    Tomb Raider Legend is: challenging and compelling gameplay, simple puzzles and an OK story.

    This is a fun action game that ultimately feels dated even considering the time of its original release. The game attempts to copy modern Prince of Persia games but ends up falling a bit short, the platforming is simple and while the controls are competent its all been done before and its been done better. Nonetheless, the platforming and puzzles were still enjoyable enough to keep meThis is a fun action game that ultimately feels dated even considering the time of its original release. The game attempts to copy modern Prince of Persia games but ends up falling a bit short, the platforming is simple and while the controls are competent its all been done before and its been done better. Nonetheless, the platforming and puzzles were still enjoyable enough to keep me playing. The combat however, was terrible, it wasn't difficult or challenging, it was just plain boring, mashing the fire button as fast as you can will get you through any gun fight with ease. The bosses on the other hand all required more precision then the games controls would allow leading to a high level of frustration.… Expand

    This is one of the best tomb raiders its a great game the controls work very well these are some of the best graphics on ps2 and the game play is fun but the problem is the game is to short and its the easiest tomb raider to date which might anger some hardcore fans despite those things this is still tomb raider and there is alot of fun to be had

    I know that it almost sounds too good to be true, but after wishing and hoping for years, Lara finally kicks ass again. [Apr 2006, p.64]

    Legend is a largely tremendous update of the classic Raider template, only let down by the short lifespan and lack of challenge. [Apr 2006, p.80]

    The cliffhanger story is well put together. The action is simple and effective. The controls not only work, they're fun...Best of all, the sense of discovery and adventure is captured with a fresh sensibility.
