Weird, I can't wait for Tomb Raider Trilogy. Anyone care about it?

I missed Legend and Anniversary because back then, COD dominated my gaming life. Back when COD was good (To me, with COD 2/3). Anyway, now seeing that they're also better looking than even the PC/360 versions makes me want them more. And they have trophies too. BTW, were they any good? I hear Annisary was.

I really want to get it too. I played them all. Finished Legend and Underworld but not Anniversary.

Underworld will still be missing the DLC that was only available on the Xbox 360. This means, for me, that the game is still incomplete and still isn't worth getting.

i dont think im getting it.

anniversary and underworld are already in HD on the 360 since 2007...ps3 is late.

however legend is a welcome addition.

I only played the original tomb raider, so will probably pick this up.

I didn't play them on PS2 (Anniversary & Legend), so my question is, are they crazy hard/frustrating like the early games or they are more like TR Underworld?

They're not too hard, according to the Achievement guides on the 360.

I'm talking about the gameplay, not trophies/achievements. The early PS1 games were very unforgiven (platforming wise), but Underworld was a lot more manageable.

I'm pretty sure I'll be getting the game sometime, though I do own Underworld for the wii. don't own the other two yet.

The achievement guides rate the game difficulty out of 10. They're 4/5.

Oh, my bad. Thanks for the info. Even though I already have Underworld, I'll get this trilogy as well.

ooh yeah, i'm excited about it myself! growing up, my dad was a huge fan of Tomb Raider and Resident Evil. in the last few years he's kind of lost interest in videogames so i think getting him this may get him sucked back in :-)

Im getting it for 3 reasons first off i havent gotten to play the tomb raider anniversary edition, 2nd is obviously for trophies and 3rd the trilogy will prepare me for the new tomb raider coming out.

Tomb Raider is one of my favourite franchises (finished TRU 2 times), and Anniversary and Legend are the only ones I didn't play at all, Anniv cause I didn't see a point in re doing TR1 and Legend no idea why maybe too many other games at the time

I think Tomb Raider needs to have a long break and come back fighting with some new things. Even though the newer games have been alright they are just more of the same with nothing special to set them apart. So I think if Tomb Raider just waited a few years they might be able to reinvent the series. As for the Trilogy if you like Tomb Raider games it's probably a bargin!

minty, i agree with you. the franchise needs some room to breathe and reinvent itself. however, eidos is insecure about lara's ability to stay in the public consiousness without tomb raider related content releasing every year. it's a silly notion but that's just how it is.

the trilogy looks nice. i played TRL and TRA a couple of times through on PS2 and then a couple more on 360 (only played TRU on 360), but this seems like the perfect excuse to get back into them. i'm interested in seeing how the graphics look on Legend particularly as it was originally ported up from the PS2 version. the environments and art direction were really nice so with a fresh coat of paint they could be spectaclular.

someone asked if they were hard. they're not at all. Legend is a bit more combat-heavy and has a couple of tough boss fights but it's very linear and has only one or two challenging puzzles. you have a tool to identify solutions and Zip& Allistair speak through your headset the whole time, practically spelling out what you need to do. i turned the dialogue off because it was TOO easy with their hints.

TRAmight bea bit more difficult because there's not as much help.also, you have to be able to perform an "adrenaline dodge" to get through one of the boss fights. i had no problem with it but there were lots of folks complaining about it online.

TRU was the best of the three (only imho) but wasn't any harder than Anni. puzzles were better, a little more challenging. lots more bugs and places to get stuck in the environment (jumping sideways got me out usually). also some nice dialogue and good voice acting.

overall, i'd say they were mostly average difficulty with a few spikes here and there. nothing insurmountable and good pacing to keep you motivated.

believe it or not, Tomb Raider 3 was actually the very first game i bought when i started gaming on pc more than a decade ago. the series have always had a special place in my heart and since i haven't played any of the rebooted titles i will most definitely get this trilogy pack :)
