Tomb Raider: Legend (PlayStation 2, 2006)

After Tomb Raider AoD I was so nervous about purchasing another TR game... I was so dissapointed with it... but Legend seems to have gone back to it's roots and the adventure is on once again! Graphics are FAB and the story line is just as magical as TR4 (My all time favorite!)

CONS:

I don't like the fact the you can't customize the controls... you can only choose between 3 control settings and all of them use the analog buttons for Lara's movement which i find is harder to use when trying to line Lara up for a jump or when trying to make her face a wall or a ledge... I liked the way it was before with the directional buttons and the way you would jump backwards or do a roll to turn around... It's also harder to control her between walk and run mode...

You can't save the game like you used to... it now has "check points" were you can save and will always start from them if you die... so gone are the days when you'd save the game for a super hard jump in order to try again and again to get it right :( The only good thing about this is you avoid the mistake of saving the game right when Lara is about to die...

all in all I think the designers heard our cries after the Angel of Darkness flop (that game was alos far too short!!!) and came out with Legend to recaptivate their audience!
