Tomb Raider: Legend

10.11.2006
Critic 45/100
The Nintendo DS version of Tomb Raider: Legend differs significantly from its console counterparts. While it retains the original plot and cutscenes, the platforming and environmental puzzles have been adapted into a side-scrolling format with some 3D elements. The game also includes occasional motorcycle segments. Typically, the upper screen displays the main action, while the lower screen manages inventory, which is controlled using the stylus. During combat, the lower screen shifts to a first-person view, requiring players to tap enemies to defeat them. As in other versions, gameplay centers on retrieving artifacts in exotic locations; on the DS, players must blow into the microphone to dust them off. Although Lara moves primarily in two dimensions, the graphics are rendered in 3D, and the environments are often presented from varied angles, diverging from the traditional side-on perspective common in the genre.
The plot is the same as the console versions. In a search for the relic Lara Croft travels through Japan, Bolivia, England, Kazakhstan, Ghana and the Himalayas.

Tomb Raider: Legend is the seventh major game in the Tomb Raider series, now for the first time developed by Crystal Dynamics, along with the original character designer of the game's protagonist, Lara Croft. It serves as a reboot of the franchise, with a new incarnation of Lara Croft. The typical third-person action-adventure exploring is still present, and Lara can move more freely because specific jumps no longer limit her. As players travel through rough environments, they will need to run, dive, swim, climb on poles, ladders, and roofs, use zip lines, shimmy, and vault, with acrobatic actions such as somersaults and flips. Players need to cross difficult terrain, solve puzzles to advance or open up new areas, and engage in combat.

The Nintendo DS port of Tomb Raider: Underworld is a 2D side-scroller, featuring all the environmental challenges you'd find on other games as well. Lara's move set is almost as vast, and allows her to tackle a wide range of difficulties. The game features almost all the cinematic sequences from other games, but they are lower resolution and the voice quality is a bit compromised.
