Lara's excellent adventures continue! October 24, 2000
12 out of 12 found this review helpful
This was the first Tomb Raider game I bought and it is impressive in every way. The graphics are a notable improvement from Tomb Raider I. Environments are more realistic and detailed, and Lara herself is less angular and blocky. She also sports some costume changes appropriate to her surroundings, as well as having a number of useful new moves such as climbing which significantly broaden the gameplay possibilities. Rather than a simple rehash of the running around ancient civilizations formula, TR 2 takes Lara to a variety of exciting locations, beginning in China, through the watery streets of Venice, the foothills of Tibet and even a number of levels set on a shipwreck at the bottom of the sea. The game's designers have done an excellent job of making each different location very distinctive; I particularly enjoyed the highly atmospheric Venetian Opera House. The sheer variey and richness of the different environments our heroine finds herself in is one of the games' strongest points; but the main driving force is Lara herself, and the game successfully expands this unique character while providing an exciting, action-packed, and at times tense and jumpy storyline. The additional Gold levels are a worthwhile addition to the main game in which Lara journeys to a small island in the Bering Sea in search of the legendary Golden Mask. Althought the ending is a little anti-climactic, the different areas within the levels are fresh and interesting and there are lots of opportunities to enjoy Lara's trademark death-defying stunt moves. The game is overall more violent than TR 1 as it is more focused on combat, and the thugs are perhaps less interesting than those in the first game since they tend to be pretty generic and lacking in personality, but those are the only faults in a game which otherwise, is an extremely satisfying and addictive addition to the wonderful world of Tomb Raider!
