Tomb Raider: The Angel of Darkness

THE BAD:
The bugs

SUMMARY:
Lara returns for a 6th outing on the home consoles. YaY! She's on the run from the police and to find the murderer of her mentor Werner Von Croy. Lara starts in Paris accused for murder and without her backpack (no, not the famous brown backpack!). Everythings changed (because she doesn't have her backpack, you see? ) from the graphics to the controls.
Lara looks stunning and so do the FMVs. The graphics are top notch. And I love the new controls. The analouge sticks are particularly easy to use and you have more contol over Lara. Plus being able to contol the camera is a blessing.
I must admit tho' that Lara has a lot more animations like stealth and hand-to-hand combat. She has a lot, but only manages to do some of these well. Her usual shooting, adventure and puzzles are brilliant but the stealth is useless and while hand-to-hand is fun, it's not useful either.
The levels range in difficulty and lenght. Some from way out fun (The Louvre...

THE BAD:
hmmmm yes, loading can be annoying but it giv u time to av a bite of a choccy bar and sometimes it can build suspense. anyway i dont no y every1 is so pissed off about it? its a 5 second load screen? do u all have school to go to?

SUMMARY:
reading some of these reveiws i think some of them are brilliant opinions good and bad and some are a bit exagerated.
for instance, the "constant frustrating annoying etc loading screens" last a meer 5 seconds.
controls, have you people never used analogue before? it took me about 10 minute to get used to it and if ur a bigger fan of tomb raider than me, ull be quiker!
camera angles, obviously u people havnt noticed u can change the camera angle if u just move the analogue stick round to the desired angle. have a go... im not lying!

Well i think thats the most common bad points sorted out, now to...

THE BAD:
-Ocassional slow downs<br>-Numerous load up screens<br>-No Vibrate <br>

SUMMARY:
Ok I just picked up this game today for $14.99 at Best Buy. Frankly I have been a little weary about purchasing this game because people pretty much thought it was terrible. Well I mean $15 I felt might as well give it a chance because I have been wanting to get this game ever since I heard about TR coming out for the PS2. Frankly I'm not that big of a Tomb Raider fan, I never really played the games much, I played Revelations for the Dreamcast and liked it enough but my memory card corrupted and I never felt like starting again. Anyways, when I put this game in I had no expectations..in fact I expected it to suck...totally wrong. Sure it has its gliches and the manual is even wrong in some places, but the Greatest Hits version comes with a little piece of paper that tells you what the manual is screwed up on. The biggest thing was ther...

THE BAD:
Some glitches and slow down

SUMMARY:
I have been a major TombRaider/Lara Croft fan for quite some time.I have all the games and love them all, but i must admit i was a bit confused as to whether or not i should buy TombRaider:AOD after hearing all the negative comments people had been giving the game.Luckily, i received it as a gift on my Bday.Newayz.Since it is on the PS2 now..the graphics are great...there are some glitches though and some slow down every once in awhile, but it doesnt take away from the game.The levels are even more interesting...you go from city rooftops..into mansions..museums..mental hospital..and yes even some tombs(many have lava,fire,or are flooded with water).The story is darker than any other in the TombRaider series.It revolves around Lara being framed for a friend's grisly murder and while trying to find who really did it, she is trying to find...

THE BAD:
However, there're are some bad points too the game. One of my main ones; her pistols, I have finished the game and was severely disappointed when not coming across her biggest trademark; twin pair of 9mm pistols. I was sick of all the one gun weapons and then when I saw on the mini demo at the beginning of the game, it showed Lara shooting with her pistols, but I never could find them. If anyone does knowm=, please be kind enough to email me with the solution, please.

SUMMARY:
Ok, the game in itself isn't that bad. I've played a few games and though the graphics were awesome and when i went back to replay the old TRs I found it the graphics too appalling to play. Another big thing is when of if you want to replay the game, you can choose a differe...

THE BAD:
Alot of Lara's signature moves/weapons arent in this game...
Plus this game started to delay, and then another delay, and once again another delay...

SUMMARY:
At first, this game gets a little getting used too. But a little later on, when you start getting into the game, you become to get used to it. At first I was a little disappointed. I dont like the upgrades, they piss me off. And she doesnt have her double pistol with infinate ammo.

OK, done with the bad things...
This game has a really interesting stroy with really interesting characters, which makes this a really interesting game...
This is challenging, and I like it that way, that means I dont beat it in one day. This game and some twists and turns, and some parts you woulda never expected some things to happen.
Another good part...
There is a new character Kurtis Trent. He is somewhat slow, but is a good chara...

THE BAD:
Boring, random slowdowns, it crashes alot, it's not even finished, the enemies suck, the camera will drive you nuts, the game just all around sucks.

SUMMARY:
Eidos should really be ashamed of themselves for this pile of crap. Like every other tomb raider game: this one sucks. But this is possibly the worst of them all, it's badly put together and just not even done yet, even the intruction manual is screwed up! It tells you controls that aren't even actually in the game! The control is terrible (as usual in the world of tomb raider) Lara still turns slowly, is hard to line up with things and seems very clumsy to be in a video game. The enemies are so stupid it's funny, sometimes they'll just walk around you in circles not even attacking you. The games graphics seem really dated, they look like DC calibur visuals. It took them four years to make this!? Please, for the sake of your sanity, avoid this game!

THE BAD:
Jumping, like normal

SUMMARY:
I have played every one of the tomb raider games and have loved them. There is something different with this one and I do not like it. My only cheat or advice that I have is stay away from this game. This has gone to far and everything they did was the wrong theory. It is now about the movies and media. I love my movies and I love my media, but I want my games to be separate. I was happy to see the movies out for Tomb Raider, but I was upset to see that the next game has been taken into a new direction of its background to also attract the people that only liked the movie. If you are a true Tomb Raider player, you will understand.
