3.0 out of 5 stars Fun, but too simple at times!, August 3, 2008

= Fun:3.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: Tomb Raider: Legend (Video Game)

I'm a die hard Tomb Raider fan, and have been buying the games since they came out, so I was very thrilled to find out that they were going to release a TR game on DS, which meant that I could now take it on the go, and play it anywhere I go.

And while this game has got the basics, it is too easy. Unlike the normal PC version, you are given no choice of what to do. Basically, there is only one road to go, and the controls are so limiting that even if you want to go the other way, and see if that way is the way to go, you won't be able to do so as you'll be blocked by an invisible wall.

The controls are good, though. You will be able to play in no time. Overall, if you are a TR fan, and you don't mind that it is a bit too easy, you will enjoy this game.

4.0 out of 5 stars Lara swings her way onto the DS, December 14, 2006

While the console versions of Tomb Raider: Legend were a triumphant return to form for the long running, stagnant franchise, adventurer Lara Croft swings her way onto the Nintendo DS with great results. Tomb Raider: Legend for the DS finds the buxom heroine raiding tombs and dodging baddies as she tries to uncover secrets of her past. The first thing you'll notice is that the game features some of the absolute best 3-D graphics to be found on the DS. This game looks as good, if not better, than the later Tomb Raider games that appeared on the PS1. While the DS gets pushed to it's limits graphically, the game's camera however seems to want to work against you at many jumping and leaping points throughout the areas. Not to mention that there are some occasional graphical glitches, but despite all that, Tomb Raider: Legend still looks and plays great. The controls are very easy and quick to get a hold of, and the game just has a degree of polish to it that is quite surprising. The gameplay is challenging and satisfying, and the in-game cut scenes are very well done as well. While it's not perfect, Tomb Raider: Legend for the DS should be a blueprint for third party developers and publishers to make console to portable games that actually do their console counterparts justice. For DS owners craving some Tomb Raider action, you should definitely pick this up.

2.0 out of 5 stars frustrating, June 11, 2008

I got this game because I used to play tomb raider for the PC. Tomb Raider for DS is totally different. For one thing when you need to shoot someone your guns don't automatically lock on the target. You have to use your touch screen to guide where you shoot. Its not that bad but I would prefer it to be automatic. Also, there is no look feature for this game. There is one part in the 1st level where you have to jump onto a ledge but the ledge isn't really in the screen so you don't know where your jumping to. I had to go through it 20 times just to get the jump right because I couldn't see what the hell I was jumping onto. I haven't played this game very much because I get more frustration than enjoyment out of it.
