Captivating! [Posted on 2004-07-13]
Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation is by far the most complicated game in the series. But for people like me, who enjoy challenges, that's a good thing. It's a very exciting game with spellbinding graphics, an interesting and captivating plot, and a lot of suspense. Even though I haven't finished it yet, I love the game and look forward to the day I do finish it. I recommend it to all people who love action/adventure like I do!

One of the most popular playstation game character's has arrived again with another great tomb raider game. This is one of my favourite games and is definitely one of the hardest games on playstation. This is the last and hardest tomb raider game on playstation. It has excellent 3d graphics and realistic backgrounds.
There are many fun levels in this game including the train level, car level, and many other levels. Me and my friends love this game! If you like games like all tomb raider games, duke nukem, die hard, and tomorrow never dies you'll love this game!
You have to buy it, and trust me you'll love it!
Love it but... [Posted on 2007-07-16]
First I just have to say that I love this game. LOVE it. The plot is very interesting, I think it's probably the best one yet. My only complaint is that in most of the levels you need to get certain artifacts that you must have later in the game. It might be a little better if you can't exit the level without it, but you can so you'll never know that you need that artifact until you're frustrated with yourself three levels later unable to move forward in the game. So save often, look everywhere before proceeding, and if you don't trust yourself I would suggest getting a walkthrough. At least just to read over and make sure you got everything. Despite that, as I said it's my favorite of the Tomb Raider series. The quality is wonderful, her selection of weapons is great, and it's extremely addicting.
The last great Tomb Raider [Posted on 2008-06-05]
Lara Croft returns to her roots. Although most might argue that Tomb Raider 2 was the best game in the series, it was the original game that defined what she was about, sort of a female Indiana Jones (How often have we heard that one?) Tomb Raiders 2 and 3 were great in their own right, yet had moved beyond the simple premise of Underground exploration.The Last Revelation is like a distillation of the basic premise of the first; lots of underground areas (it's stretching it to class them all as tombs) with only rare appearances of above ground areas. Although I still enjoyed Chronicles I didn't like the direction the franchise took after that. So The Last Revelation is to me the last great Tomb Raider game.
The Last Revelation is undeniably a good game if you're into action adventure videogames. I think the appeal of Lara Croft is that she represents to video gaming what James Bond or Indiana Jones is to cinema- A world that is based around our own, but at the same time is larger than life and essentially implausible. Yet you can suspend disbelief enough to believe it could exist in a sense. With most video games plot is usually of a secondary nature but here it manages to hold your interest. Suffice to say that during a trip to an Egyptian Tomb she awakens something best left undisturbed, mwahahahah. The rest, well you'll just have to play it and see won't you?
The real reason most play these games is the platforming fun of running and jumping across gaping chasms to manage to grab onto a ledge with your fingers and haul yourself up, to shoot enemies and to solve puzzles. The puzzles in Last Revelation are thankfully generally good and often involve more that simply hitting a switch to open a door to pull a lever. There are some imaginative enemies too that may not be defeatable by conventional means.
There are three main problems with The Last Revelation though. Firstly it is a very large game, and many players have been unable to finish it. Only the most dedicated will have the patience to actually complete it. Secondly it's also a very difficult game. The game requires some dextrous fingerwork at times (buts that's the way I like it myself) But not only that but some solutions to puzzles are just too obscure. Almost everyone who plays this will need to resort to a walkthrough. Thirdly, well it's Egypt overkill frankly. It's set entirely in Egypt, although the modern day Cairo setting does provide a welcome change of scenery.But nearly everyone who has played this has found the constant Egyptian setting tiresome after while.
Overall The Last Revelation is undeniably great action adventure, and delivers the originals subterranean thrills in spades. But in some ways it's like being given ten boxes of chocolate for Christmas; best in small amounts at intervals.Trying to rate this is hard. In small amounts, it's a 5 star game. More than that and it could end up being a chore.
The Best Tomb Raider [Posted on 2008-07-14]
Set against the backdrop of Egypt, Tomb Raider the last revelation delivers one of the most satisfying, rewarding, tomb raider experiences. It's longer, in my opinion then any of the other Tomb Raiders, but it's also one of the best. It has some of the best graphics of older tomb raiders, and while the Graphics don't compete with Tomb raider anniversary, it also captures the essence of the tomb raider series.
