Monterey Jack's Review
May 14, 2012

Your mileage may vary.
Tomb Raider's reception defines polarization - whether it's the quality of the game or Lara Croft herself, there are no concrete opinions on the game and really, it's one of those games you ought to try out for yourself. But you know what, reviews aren't just about recommending games to people; they're also about giving the readers your opinion. If you want mine, here it is - Tomb Raider is a pretty good game with some odd quirks that require some getting used to. Now, I don't normally advocate getting used to what would appear to be bad controls and/or bad camera angles, unless the game is worth it, and honestly speaking, I'd say it's worth it.

She ain't just a walking pair of boobies.
Lara Croft is sent on an expedition to acquire the Scion by the request of a wealthy businesswoman by the name of Jacqueline Natla. But when she learns about what she has really got and Natla's motivation for wanting the Scion, shit gets real. In fact, that's one way to sum up the...

THE GOOD:
Wonderful, and challenging gameplay. Now, a modern classic. Excellent control, graphics, level design, and cool battles to be fought.

THE BAD:
Nothing, absolutely nothing!

SUMMARY:
For anyone living in a cave or under a rock for the past 5-6 years, do yourselves a favor and buy this game. You should be able to get it used for around $10, and it will be the best ten dollars you have ever spent. This is the original game that started it all. Every third person action game since has borrowed from this one, and in this reviewers opinion, none have lived up to this original challenge of a game.
The controls are amazing. Lara is fluid and fantastic, leaping, running, jumping, and hauling her curvy butt up ledges. After a short while playing this game, the controls become second-nature, and you can sing "I'm Lara Croft!" while wearing your sisters panties - that is if you are into that sort of thing.

THE GOOD:
This Game leads the way for adventure action games to come. With a catchy name, unusually good looking, well shaped game character, a soundtrack that comes in as fast as it go's out to build your blood pressure, the biggest bad ass bosses, right next to Nemisis from RE3, and a variety of levels that offer only the best gameplay available at the time. And last the puzzles are rather difficult at times to beat, making you stimulate your brain.

THE BAD:
Texturing on the wall, rocks, and water suck.

SUMMARY:
One of the most advanced, daring, primitive, and overpowering games in the history of gaming.
