Tomb Raider: Legend

"Tomb Raider Legend, Is It The Best Tomb Raider Yet? Is It Not Very Good? I Have Played The Whole Game And I have Found Out What It Is Like."

Tomb Raider Legend is the 7th game of the Tomb Raider series. Made by Eidos & Crystal Dynamics. There are many new moves that can be done in this game that were not in any of the other Tomb Raiders. Like Tomb Raiders 1, 2 & 3 you can go into Laras home. The moves look really amazing, for example if you press circle rapidly, Lara will perform multiple front flips followed by a twisting front flip. I am going to rate the game on playability, graphics, sound, lifespan, how addictive it is & value for money.

Playability - 9/10
This game is highly interesting when first starting the game on the 1st level. It tells you exactly what to do in terms of what the controls are. Also because Zip and Alister talk to you when you go through the game makes it that little bit more interesting. You won't get board of it if you have not completed it. Although you do have to be quite smart to figure out some of the puzzles.

Graphics - 10/10
The graphics are simply amazing. Lara almost looks real and the water does look real. Rocks & boulders don't look perfectly round unlike the other Tomb Raiders & smash when they hit something. Because the graphics are that good you cannot tell if you can grab the cracks in the walls because they all look like that, also with so much detail.

Sound - 8/10
The sound is quite good although sometimes you can hardly hear the music. When in a cave though, her voice actually sounds like she is speaking in a cave. The sound of the guns firing is good. There is no background sound like birds singing or the wind blowing.

Lifespan - 7/10
If you are good at Tomb Raider games then it will not take you long to complete the story although it will take you ages to find all of the rewards that you can find on each level. The 1 gold reward that is on each level will take you ages to find because they are in hard to get spots where you would not think of going.

Addictve - 7/10
This game can get really addictive if you know where to go. You will not want to stop playing it until you complete the story. When you do though you won't be as addicted to it as you were because you can get board of trying to find all of the rewards.

Value For Money - 8/10
It is just about value for money if you like to complete games as soon as you come as out, also if it around £30 if you live in the UK. If it is more than you might think it was a waste of money.

Overall Tomb Raider Legend is probebly as good as Tomb Raider 3 its a bit like Tomb Raider Angel Of Darkness execpt that Legend is not in the city all of the time and is mostly in jungles and tombs. I would buy it if you like Tomb Raider games although it can get hard to play.
