Not as pretty or easy to control as on PS2, but still an awesome game

User Rating: 8.3 | Tomb Raider: Legend PSP
Tomb Raider legend has been the game to throw Lara back on her feet after some hard times. This game features an all new control system that makes Lara's movements much smoother and seamless. Although this makes controlling Lara easier, that may not be the case for PSP users. Not to say the control is horrible or anything, it just takes a lot longer to master. The biggest issue is controlling the camera. The fact that there is no 2nd analog nub thing makes it really wierd, because you have to hold Square to move the camera. This, as most Tomb Raider fans know, is very bad when a lot of running and jumping is going on. Okay, now that the bad stuff is out of the way, we can get to the good. When I played this game for the firdt time I was absolutely amazed at how good the graphics were. They were just short of PS2 greatness! Although the frame rate left trails during fast movement, I think the graphics and the sound were pretty good. I was also really happy that they added a bit more replay value for the PSP version. (Although they are impossible to unlock!) But Overall I think this is a great game for the PSP and great to have in your pocket or on the road. -sexymdlman
