Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review
In the sequel to the surprise action-game hit, Tomb Raider, Lara Croft returns to uncover ancient secrets and take home forbidden booty. This time around, Croft--part Indiana Jones and part Pamela Anderson--is after the mythical Dagger of Xian. Of course, she's not the only one, so you'll have to contend with more diabolical villains and a bevy of new weapons, death-defying levels, and perilous traps. To help you make it through alive, Tomb Raider II: The Official Strategy Guide delivers an excellent overview of the game and its secrets. In addition to puzzle clues, descriptions of the baddies Lara encounters, and complete walk-throughs of each level of Tomb Raider II, there are plenty of screen shots and, naturally, pictures of Lara, who has been enhanced considerably for the sequel--in pixels and polygons that is. This guide covers PC and PlayStation versions of the game.

3.0 out of 5 stars My ratings are on comparison to the first book, March 3, 1998

By A Customer

Yes although the Strategy guide doubled in size It doesn't in any way compare to how well The first book was laid out. One it automatically figured you reviewed the first book and it went over non of the old stuff. Two The practice level at Lara's home, the first book goes really indepth of the training level well maybe not, at least though the first book mentioned it. There was nothing about the hedge maze or the fact the hole training level was updated. To sum up I think the book could have been alot better written, I would go as far as saying you should make a second book one that like the first goes over all the secrets of the game, by first I mean the one for the first game. I would bye it and I think others would as well. Send me some comments, just to let me now what people agree with me on this.

4.0 out of 5 stars An excellent walkthrough book, December 11, 1997

By A Customer

The Official Strategy Guide for Tomb Raider 2 is a must for helping Lara battle her way through sixteen levels. The book is laid out quite well with detailed descriptions and clear locations about where the three secrets are in each level. However, the pictures taken from the game are low quality and makes it difficult to understand where you are at times.
