5.0 out of 5 stars Would have thought this was a GBA game!! Excellent, July 17, 2001

By A Customer

Wicked game!! Excellent large graphics...Fluid animation... This has some of the best graphical tricks I've seen on the Gameboy. I thought it was a GBA game when I first saw it. Big bacground graphics and lots of them. Parallax scrolling and HUGE bosses make this a stunning looking game. Check out the rooftop level ( IT ROCKS ). You have 5 minutes to get across the top of the New York skyline then you fight the boss witl the Statue of Libery in the background. Nice skyline colors too!! . I love the pace of this game. Much faster and more FUN than the first. Great controls and Lara moves soooo fluidly its unbeleivable. The BEST Gameboy Color game ever!!!!! I'm HOOKED!!

5.0 out of 5 stars The first was good, the second is better!, August 25, 2001

By	Ashley (Georgia) - See all my reviews

I've been a fan of the Tomb Raider games for a while, so naturally I got Tomb Raider: Starring Lara Croft for my Game Boy Color. I loved that game, and it was probably my favorite, but it was really easy and really short. I've already beaten it more then 10 times, and I wanted more challenges. Tomb Raider: Curse of the Sword gave me just what I wanted. The levels are more challenging, and the graphics are really fluid. This is an excellent game, and it's well worth the 30 bucks I paid for it!

5.0 out of 5 stars So Much More Than Before-Lara Takes The Gold, July 9, 2001

Since the arrival of Game Boy Advance, the average gamer might think that the original Game Boy has become defunct. Well-that's not true and this is the game that proves it. Lara Croft:Tomb Raider-Curse of The Sword shines more brightly than any other game in recent memory, and improves upon itself in so many ways. First, the graphic prowess of this game is more stunning than last years title(Tomb Raider Starring Lara Croft), Activision, Core and Edois have really worked hard. The backgrounds scroll with more ease and looks a heck of a lot better too. Enemy sprites have improved too-check out the big guard dogs and see what I mean! The game engine is the same, so expect the same Lara animation from the first. Don't think that's a complaint-it is (and was)excellent. It plays identical too. If you have mastered Lara you'll be able to jump and swing with the best of them. The first game was sort of a hackeyed story, now Lara is out to save herself, in a more contemporary setting, and the story progress from there(the second level is intense!). The levels are big and involve switches and keys, but the fun is never absent. This game is simply not to miss. It is also compatible with Game Boy Advance, so if you have that system and are looking for a good game then this is your ticket. And unlike the first, the color is better and it doesn't show up so dark on the GBA screen(that's what I play it on). Tomb Raider-Curse of The Sword is a game that just can't be pass up. It's challenging, involved, and a blast to play. It may enticed younger kids to play but make no mistake, older players will find this Tomb Raider adventure a definate hit.
