| Description |
| Eidos serves up more of the same in the fourth instalment of the adventures of Lara Croft. Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation is sure to please rabid fans of the busty heroine, but it may give indigestion to series veterans looking for something new or improved. If you're one of the latter, your suffering will begin from the start as the game opens with a prologue/training level that requires you to go through the motions before proceeding the actual game. And you probably won't give a hoot about the "play as young Lara" gimmick. However, those willing to play through the flashback will be pleased to discover that Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation recaptures much of the spirit of the original. Unlike the previous two sequels, the 3-D environments here are closed in, the puzzles are less vague, and the enemies are mostly non-human. While the controls can still be awkward at times and the graphics are largely unchanged, the Indiana-Jones-style gameplay is just as entertainingly addictive as it was the first time around. --Joe Hon |
