Tomb Raider 2 - Platinum
|
|
|
| Description:
Lara Croft is back--and repackaged. The sequel to the top-selling action adventure game Tomb Raider, Tomb Raider II offers a stunning game environment decorated with 3-D graphics that are improved from the original game in the series. While regular fans will immediately feel comfortable with the controls and gameplay of this sequel, Tomb Raider II may initially intimidate players not familiar with the series. The controls do seem a little awkward at first, but you can safely learn the ropes by exploring the numerous training exercises accessible in Lara's house. Once trained, you're ready to jump, roll, run and shoot through multiple levels of action. This sequel brought considerable improvements on the original, including bigger and better levels. In addition, there are more enemies to contend with. This title is a must-have! --Mike Byer

I bought Tomb Raider 1 on PC yeeeeaaaars ago, and because i had xp, it didnt work well.
Then I bought this and was soo happy!
Lara's home is at its best in Tomb Raider 2, (TR 3 is boring) and the assault course is cool!
The wall of china level is a classic TR level, great for using all techniqques like diving, shooting, killing and so on.
The venice levels are great too, the first level is actually quite difficult, but dont be tempted to use a level cheat, i did and i regret it! The speed boat you can use in Venice is good to, and at the end of the first Venice level there is a neat peice of puzzzling to work out! The opera house level is very hard but also very good!
The next set of levels (offshore and underwater) may get slightly boring, but offshore rig is pretty cool, 40 fathoms introduces the sharks! and the wreck of the maria doria is sort of like Ghost Ship!
Tibetan Foothills is verry good level, but also very hard. You use the snow mobile for most of it, but I have done it ON FOOT which is a good expereicne.
The China levels are pretty good, floating islands is very strange, Dragon's Lair is the boss level.
But Temple of Xian has to be one of the best TR levels. It is so, well, tomb raider. Lots of spike traps, lots of guns, and lots of action! Home Sweet Home is the last level, surprisingly easy, and the final cut scene, Lara starts to get undressed, then goes to the camera "I think youve seen enough!" then shoots her shot gun!
BUY THIS! |

A good place to start

Well well well. If it isn't videogaming's favourite star on her second adventure. This was the first of her games I bought and it has encouraged me to buy some more.
The first thing you should know about this game is that it is VERY big. There are huge levels and although they are very good, the endless wandering can be frustrating.
The graphics are pretty naff now, but they were good in its day. The gameplay is great too, although the controls are clumsy. However, this game is alot of fun, and as I got it really cheap, all these years on, it is worth buying. Its a good place to start, and much better that Tomb Raider 3. And i'm getting the last revelation next...! |

One of the best games available on the playstation!!!

This is a fantastic game and definately the best in the Tomb Raider series. It combines the perfect amount of badies to kill with skill needed to control Lara and work out all the puzzles. The area i liked best was the oilrig where you begin the level with no guns at all and only a few measly bullets left from the many you previously collected. (Watch out for the rig guards with flamethrowers, they get Lara a bit hot under the collar!) The puzzles on this level are based around the idea of getting your guns back and when you do you get some sweet revenge on those rig guards!!! There is various types of weaponary Lara uses in this game and you slowly progress from level to level starting with the simple pistols and towards the end gaining the grenade launcher to blast your enemies to bits (literally). There are also some really cool machines in there for Lara to have a play with such as the snowmoblie with the machine guns attached and the speedboat. Plus there are some really interesting secrets to find such as the one at the back of the T-rex den on level one. When you finally reach the end and you come to retrieve the goal you've been looking 4 u come face 2 face with...well i won't spoil it 4 you but lets just say i hope u saved plenty of ammo for this one as you'll be wondering what all the fuss was about with yeti's and giant bird like things when you meet this guy!. I also thought that the extra level at the very end when you think it's all over and more baddies appear at Lara's home was a good added extra as it finishes of the story for you. Appart from this Tomb Raider, I have played Tomb Raider 3 and the Chronicles. Number three was way too hard compared to 2 and the chronicles had good levels, but it annoyed me that you couldn't go on any level you chose once the game was completed as you can in Tomb Raider 2. I would say that if you like to play games that use the brain as well as the broan and that shows a little girl power then this is the game for you and if u r a first timer with Tomb Raider i would go with number 2 as it will keep u occupied for hours and i promise you won't get bored!!! |

TR 2

I think that TR 2 is the best of the TR series. It is not hard and it is not too easy. TR 1 was boring as it was badly animated and you were limited to what you could do. TR 3 was well made. Good variety of levels but the levels were too long. Now TR:TLR. It was OK but you had to go back and forth the levels which ment loads of loading times but it was OK. TR:C I have not played but I think I will like it. Overall TR2 I good enough graphics for me and it is not a very long game. |
