I just recently have found myself owning a Playstation, and you need games to use it properly right? Well I rented this gem and let me tell you...what fun! I had never before in my life played any Tomb Raider title, I knew that they were quite popular so I thought that I'd give it a try. At first I was really mad-I own a N64 so I was used to a certain kind of game control, and it wasn't the kind that Tomb Raider The Last Revelation uses. I kept thinking "What is the big fuss-you can't even control her! What is everyone thinking! . This is so twisted and sick". I worked at it and soon found out why Lara's adventures are wildly popular. They are so fun! I got used to moving Lara(I don't use the joystick)and soon was having so much fun that I never want to put the game away. Searching through the ancient Egyptian tombs is a blast. I am really into to Egypt so I may be a bit partial to the scenrio...but I can't help it. So far the game is quite a challenge, it makes you think; finally accomplishing whatever puzzle you are stumped at it a great feeling, and I don't look forward to returning it(which means I have to make a purchase very soon). I ordered Tomb Raider Classic because it was a good price(...-you can beat that) and I think I should start at the beginning anyway, but don't worry I will pick this title up too.The graphics are great and the training level was very very helpful. Like I said I haven't played any of the other games in the series but I look forward to trying those out as well. When all is said and done this is a great game and I am very happy to tell you about it.

TR:LR is excellent! The story, the graphics, the gameplay -even the replay value -are top notch.
I was worried when I read that this TR would return to the first, in that Lara would primarily search Egyptian-like tombs and areas. I thought this meant the environments would get old, but they don't at all. The places Lara explores are all related, but there are still tons of nice surprises (like a level on a speeding train), without the zaniness of TR3 (like Area 51 and pitch-black London skyscapes). Gone are the incredibly hard, unclear objectives of TR3, as well as the stupid vehicle levels.
There are even new features to this game -you can save more than one game on a card (though it takes two spots per game), you can collect different types of ammo, combine items, and use laser-sight add-on and binocular/flashlight items.
This game definitely deserves a look. If you're a fan of the series, but it right away and you won't be disappointed. If you're new to them, rent it (or buy it, even) anyway.
