It is an acceptable game based on its own merits, but, set against its own legacy, it is for all intents and purposes indistinguishable from those that have come before it.According to Egyptian legend, Horus, son of the light, outwitted the evil God Set and imprisoned him in a secret tomb. i may try the 5th in the series "chronicles" for next winter but thats as far as my ps1 will go in this format. well, i got to play it during the winter which gave me something to do or maybe it played me. i would recommend the first 3 games(which were completed without the walk thru)for the retro fun of it all and they were, with tr3 being the best but this one, tr4-tlr. play in the winter when you have lots of time to explore and find the "what" in what you need. with out a walk thru, (which also has errors in it) you might have a hard time with this game as i did which now defeats the joy of solving the puzzles on your own. there is alot or returns to previous levels or go forward then return to a level and retrieve an item that you will need for later. in addition, its not too straight forward, no bread crums to follow. you better save that level from the beginning of the level or you start from where you saved it from. so basically 2 levels and your save game level. what i did not enjoy was the lack of the music which was so much apart of the first 3 games, i also didnt like the idea that you can not go back and play all of the completed levels, only 3 slots for different levels. plus new foes, vehicles to drive, with alot more pick ups that are just not laying around but in jars, boxes, trunks that you need to break in order to retrieve them. she also has new and different items to put in her inventory such as binoculars with zoom/night vision, laser sight, crossbow ect. i like the better graphics, save game anytime and the new abilities that lara now such as climbing poles and swinging on ropes plus able to climb around corners. I like playing and solving the puzzles of the early tomb raider games so i thought i would give this one in the series a try.
