Not "messed up", but you do have to go back to them to clear out some baddies.

Eh, I never really caught on to the Tomb Raider series. Only played the Saturn version of the first one, and it never appealed much to me.

Oh, and today I went to a local Strawberries (chain of music/movie stores that also has a handful of video games, for those that don't have one near them), and picked up Mobile Light Force for PS1. I've yet to try it, but I do tend to like vertical shoot 'em ups. And besides, at a whopping $4.20, I'm not exactly losing much if it turns out to be garbage...

Neither did I, honestly. This is the first for me.

I tried one of them. Because a relative got it for me. Then I lent it to a friend. Then his place was robbed. That spared me the temptation to actually beat the game.

But the story of the level is still in perfect order right?

Never cared for Tomb raider either. Classic example of style over substance.

OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH....

Then yeah Tomb Raider had more style then any other game until Tecmo and Konami went into fighting and wrestling games.

Yea, I require the controls to at least not suck for whatever game I'm playing.

Of course I also have serious issues with the resident evil controls. Maybe I'm just too picky, but meh.

EDIT: I like DOA, not enough to buy X-Box of any sort though.

Actually, as far as I know, Tomb Raider is just a decent third person shooter that uses Lara to sell more copies.

As opposed to a painfull third person shooter that uses Lara to sell more copies.
Hey, the comic seems to be updating kind of regularly. Maybe we should vote to spread the word.

Yeah but the game still has more fake size boobs then an issue of Playboy.

I actually like the gameplay of DOA. I tried Tekken Tag and DOA2 the week the PS2 first came out. I thought Tekken was crap, but I loved DOA.

Havent played as much DOA in recent years, whole x-box thing. Gotten a lot better at Soul Caliber though. Also Smash.

I rented the first tomb raider, played it seriously for a level then said this sucks, and spend the weekend killing her on purpose.

It doesn't help that I am more or less completely unaffected by Big Breasts when it comes to gaming.

I think I figured out why every yugioh game sucks, its not story or the cards in it...look at the bloody decks, they all freaking suck.

I think the designers might be trying to turn the series from "hey, look at the boobs!" into something serious. I've heard Lara's bust size has decreased quite a bit from the early games, but don't quote me on that since, as I said before, this is my first. I'm just going on what I heard.

The plot was actually...plotty. It was a fun and interesting plot, with character development and fun, interesting characters. Lara actually has a personality; after everything I've heard about the series, that surprised me more than anything.

The action and shooting are done sparingly; enough that you get plenty of fight time while not enough to get tired of it. Mostly, Tomb Raider: Legend is a platform adventure game. Kinda like Prince of Persia, but with guns and boobs.

I've also heard that this is the second of a trilogy, starting with Tomb Raider: Angel of Darkness. Upon further research, I've found reports that the trilogy was supposed to be something of a redesign for Tomb Raider, probably to make it more than just "look at the pretty boobs". I'm almost interested enough to seek out Angel of Darkness. >.> I was really surprised by Legend.

Terra, if you value your life, you will not look for AoD.

The game is so many kinds of awful. It really and truely is one of the worst games I've ever played. TR as a whole is mostly garbage, (Haven't played Legend, though) but AoD is truely the top of the heap.

Ugh...

Terra AoD was bad enough that Xplay gave it a bad rating, and a bad rating from that God Awful white trash pop culture wanna be is a sign.

Duly noted.

Still, Legend wasn't bad. I kinda liked it.

See, the reason why Legend is/was good, from the reviews I've read, is because they changed the whole formula.

From it's core, Legend is (supposedly) completely different from it's counterparts in terms of gameplay.
