What is your favorite "Tomb Raider" game?

[Rhindle The Red]

So, how about the busty queen of the third person adventure game?

[glitch]

I've only played 1-3 on the PC and Prophecy on the GBA so I had to vote for 1 since it was fairly original when it was released whereas the others seemed like rehashes to me.

[+Nathan Strum]

I've played a few of them, but never really got into any of them. Didn't hate 'em, but didn't like 'em either.

 

On the other hand, I do like Glitch's avatar.

[AussieAtari]

I liked the original best of the few I've played, but I'm really a Serious Sam sort of guy when it comes to this type of game.

[Shawn]

They all sucked IMO.

[Lemmi]

I never played any of them

[vdub_bobby]

Never really played any of 'em. Played one of them...The Last Revelation (PS) a bit, maybe for half an hour. But 3D platformers aren't really my thing so I haven't touched it since. Not enough time, really, to make a judgement.

[Omegamatrix]

I liked the first one, played a few more and liked some of them for a while. In retrospect the first one blew me away as it was all very fresh at the time. People say legend is supposed to be good. I might check that out one day as a greatest hits title.

[jesusc]

Tomb Raider Legend all the way.

In fact, I don't think there were any made before Legend.

What are we talking about again?

( i try to put games I hate out of my mind)

[+Cafeman]

Legend seemed pretty good, but I only rented it and played a few times. I loved the original -- I played it on Saturn, then a year later played TRII on PSX, then played TR1 all over again on PSX before trying TR3 and ... well, let's not discuss the others.

 

Tomb Raider was a fantastic game. I even liked the "tank" controls of Lara -- this control scheme allowed accuracy that an analog stick doesn't. I had never seen a game of such graphics, ideas and scope when it first hit. Right after Jurassic Park's popularity, there I was gunning down raptors and a Rex! For these reasons I'm very excited about Tomb Raider Anniversary, the upcoming remake of Tomb Raider using the Legends engine.

[Godzilla]

The saturn original. 360 legends is a strong second. (also should mention that the original tomb raider is also available for the n-gage :-)

 

looking forward to the modernized remake of the first one...

[imtron]

Couldn't pick just one. To this date still one of the best series for puzzle solving adventures. The first two were so visually stunning. I was (and still am) amazed at the giant 3D environment that was created. Some memorable moments for me would be the high dive. You find Lara at what seems to be 50 stories high on a room. The only way to exit is to jump and dive off the end into one square foot of water in the tiled floor. Good times.

[Lemmi]

i only own the saturn version and thats only because i got it in a big auction of 38 games, i havent even seen this game played live by anyone

 

this is gonna be a close race between never played , i dont like them, and the saturn/psx version

They all kinda sucked.

[Wester]

I've only played the first three on PSX, but out of those I think I liked the first one the best.

 

How does the Saturn version compare to the PSX version?

[Crazy Climber]

I had to think about it but I haven't played any of them. I'm kind of suprised I haven't.

[Markimus of K.]

Wow, I didn't know about the upcoming remake, very interesting.

 

The original blew me away on the Saturn, never seen anything with that kind of scope before.

 

I just googled around, Gamefaqs is listing a NA release date of May 15th, I will certainly check it out.

[+Cafeman]

How does the Saturn version compare to the PSX version?

 

PSX version looks better overall (or is it the PS2 running it?), but there is a certain something about the Saturn version which seems smoother at times, to me. Back in the day, I could barely tell a difference. But now, I think I can spot the slightly lower amount of colors and less lighting of the Saturn version.

[supercat]

So, how about the busty queen of the third person adventure game?

 

How about this one?

[Foxsolo2000]

Must admit to never playing any of them for none have ever piqued my interest

[LYNXGUY]

My best friend and I played the first 4 Tomb Raider games together as a team and he would sketch out a map of each level as we play and we beat the first 4 and we video taped the first 3 and if we miss something or we seem to be lost we could play back the tape and figure out where we went wrong.

 

Sometimes I watch them just to see if I can remember what happens or what we did next and it gets me to thinking too.

[Lauren Tyler]

Tomb Raider 2 just seemed to get the formula down pat, with more unique levels and new stuff to see and do. The others are good, even Angel of Darkness, despite it's bugginess. But 2 really gets me good.

[Shannon]

Ahhh tomb raider... prince of persia gone 3d...

 

The kinda reached their peak at 2 (which I voted on) and then sucked pretty badly thereon. Although I hear the latest (legend) aint so bad.

[moycon]

Toss up between 2 and Legends....I went with 2. There was a real sense of exploration in that game, I loved it. I wish they would give it an update and re-release it like they are doing with the first one.

[Wester]

I didn't know they were releasing an updated TR.
