    Extremely boring

    I grew tired of playing this game within only an hour or two. It is boring and the graphics are horrible.

    Fantastic Game

    This game is not the best in the Tomb Raider franchise (some of my personally favourite games), but that does not by any means mean it is bad. It is actually a very, very fun game, although it is short. The language is a little iffy, but the action is good with little blood. The voice acting is very good, and one scene even gave me chills. The swimsuits you can unlock at the end are pretty revealing, but it's nothing you wouldn't see at your local pool ^_^ Fantastic game anyway. I hope the games revert back more to the way they were, and I'm glad to hear another one is coming out shortly.

    Welcome back, Lady Croft...

    Personally, I believe that Tomb Raider Legend is the best game of the series yet, although Legend II could certainly surpass it, and that there is nothing offensive or outrageous within the game. The only major issue might be Lara Croft’s, the main protagonist of the Tomb Raider games for those who do not know, sexuality, although that is a non-issue in this particular game unless you unlock extras – many of which are merely additional combat outfits for your heroine can choose from. The enemies are, mostly, human, but there are also some wild animals and demonic forces involved, but there is no real blood or gore within the game or its cutscreens – although you can discover some decomposing remains, mostly bones, within disabled traps. Overall, this is a great adventure game, and I cannot wait until the next one to arrive in stores.

    Great Game with Playback Value

    I thought this was a great game. Even after you beat it, it's still fun to go back and play your favorite levels. The soundtrack is great and the gameplay smooth and controlled. Lara's outfits tend to be a bit skimpy, but you can unlock more clothes (like a suit, completely modest). I would definitely recommend this game.

    ONE OF THE BEST GAMES I EVER PLAYED!!!!!!

    this is probably one of the best games ever! but it's only for older kids: 1. lots of guns,explosins,killing,at the ending lara shoots point blank at the vilian while scearming at her, and barely missing. 2. lots of mild language,words like d--n ,and h--l are used freacuntly. 3. lara's outfits are VERY sugustive, some moe than others, like the japan ooutfit. 4. lara stels,breaks and enters, and kills with no regret. sso this instalment in the tomb raider ssiries is only apropriate for kids 12 aand up.

    A great, action-packed game for those bored with Halo.

    Taking a break from normal shoot-em-ups, this game does not involve a whole lot of violence, but keep in mind that it is there. It focuses instead on challenging puzzles and getting to remote locations to examine artifacts, sometimes in skimpy outfits. Overall very fun, but only for teenagers, due to minor language and violence.

    well, it is fun, but if your kid is under 8, keep them away

    there is lots of gun fighting, her outfits are a bit skimpy as well, but, other, wait there is a bit of language, but other than that it is a good game
