User Rating: 9.7 | Tomb Raider: Legend PS2
Tomb Raider games have always been lost on me. I would start them, shoot some tigers in some forests that kind of looked like hallways painted like forests, and then lose interest.
Legend is the first TR that has held me from the first scene. The story is not exactly fascinating.. the character development is not entirely revolutionary, so why do I give this game a 9? Why superb?
Tomb Raider Legend is more than the sum of it's parts. It all works. IT WORKS. The combat thingies are cool. She is hot. The weapons are cool. The locations are beautiful.

FUN!

It's really fun. So that beats out all the little rating dealies that you get on the side, minus tilt because really that is all it comes down to. So what are the down sides you say?

I think if I was to entertain you for the evening and your only criticism was "why did you stop? keep going!", I would feel pretty good about myself.
All in all, if you enjoy having fun, and you know how, pick this thing up. It's well worth the money.
