"Lara's back"
5 stars"

Much has been made of Publisher Eidos dropping developer Core Design- the creators of all of the previous Tomb Raider games from this latest version but it seems to have been a good decision.

US based Crystal Dynamics- creators of the excellent Soul Reaver games for PlayStation and PlayStation 2 spent a year getting feedback from Tomb Raider fans and gathering idea's before actually starting game development. It shows- Tomb Raider Legend is everything that has been missing from parts 3 through to Angel of Darkness. Actually having some Tomb's is a great idea for a game called Tomb Raider and the environments in Legend are stunning- cascading waterfalls, precarious cliffs to climb, deadly traps straight from an Indiana Jones movie and some of the best level design yet are features of this wonderful game. It has been a while since a game had me eager to get home from work to play it but Legend has that pull. Lara is very well designed and animated and just feels like an old gaming friend- I even find myself grimacing when she (all too frequently) crashes to the ground with a sickening crunch. This game really does bring back the pure joy of playing that very first Tomb Raider game. Buy it- it's a little piece of gaming magic!
