Product Information
Lara Croft is back in her biggest adventure yet! The Dagger of Xian is believed by Chinese religion to withhold unbelievable powers. Whoever wields the dagger and thrusts it into their heart will assume the powers of a legendary dragon. Players assume the role of Lara and must track down the dagger before it falls into the wrong hands. Unfortunately, the wrong hands are after the artifact; two cultist groups lust for the dagger's power.<br><br>Developed by Core Designs and published by Eidos, Tomb Raider II Starring Lara Croft is the sequel to the smash-hit Tomb Raider. As Lara, players will trek through 18 massive levels throughout the world. The journey will have you visiting the Great Wall of China, the streets of Spain, various shipwrecks, oilrigs, and the icy climate of Tibet.<br><br>Like the original, each level is represented by a plethora of puzzle solving elements and exploration. Puzzles come in the form of pushing blocks into locked positions, throwing switches, and uncovering the path to the next level. You'll need to have a keen sense of observation as helpful items are littered throughout the level. These include health and ammunition pickups, keys, levers, and bonus relic items.<br><br>Lara will also make good use of her acrobatic and weaponry skills. Among her new skills is the ability to wade in shallow water and climb up walls via ladders and ropes. Levels are crammed with a barrage of new baddies including dangerous sharks, electrifying eels, bats, tigers, and trigger-happy humans. Fortunately, the adventurer is prepared for battle; she'll utilize her patented dual pistols, an Uzi, an underwater harpoon rifle, shotguns, and an M-16 assault rifle.<br><br>Tomb Raider II Starring Lara Croft also features an all-new lighting effects engine complete with flickering flames and flares. Depending on the location, Lara will change into different outfits including a bomber jacket and a wetsuit.
It's a great game, however puzzle after menotonous puzzle leaves me dreading the next section that is painted the same as the previous puzzle.
I'll play it here and there, but I quickly burned myself out once I got to the second half of 40 Fathoms.
There's charm to it though. Lara responds well to your inputs, the physics and the platforming puzzles are effective and feel great. This game is one that punishes you for not understanding the games mechanics by incorporating the mechanics within the puzzles themselves. You will learn what's the most effective way of climbing blocks, getting enough space to make a jump, and other related hurdles.
Its still a favorite childhood game of mine, but as an adult, the hitscan enemies and the puzzle grind me to want more.
The tomb raider two PS1 game worked fine but the PS1 game sounded a little rickety in the game system made me afraid the game system was going to break took a little while to get it to load so the game was pretty scratched up but it was a good deal for how old the game star
Good game. Nice case with manual. Taken care of, no scratches. Good price. Big fan of tomb raider games. Defiantly different style gaming then games nowadays. Tomb raider games are something my dad and I played and spent time together defeating back in the day on the playstation. Good father daughter memories. This game can be played on playstation, playstation 2 and playstation 3.
One of my favorite old school games. So simple and hard at the same time. You'll spend twenty minutes just figuring out how to jump to a cliff and grab it. Love it.
