Pros: Story is great, graphics are amazing, replay value.
Cons: A bit short.
The Bottom Line:
Definite buy for all 360 owners who are looking for a fun action adventure title.
This game is one of my favorite xbox 360 games I own. I've loved the Tomb Raider series ever since TR1, and I have had fun playing each and every one. The Tomb Raider games really bring action and adventure together to make a great gaming experience. When I first heard about Tomb Raider Legend, I was a little skeptical about how good it was going to be. I mean, no offense, but the previous Tomb Raider game, Angel of Darkness, wasn't as good as it was supposed to be. The story was there (sort of) but the gameplay wasn't up to my Tomb Raider standards. After seeing some previews and trailers for Legend, however, I knew that this was going to take me back to the Lara I had grown to love.
First things first, the story of TR Legend is awesome. It really kept me into the game and worked so well. I'm already looking forward to the next game in the series. Although the game is a bit short (about 7 hours to completion) it is still an amazing game. The graphics in this game are very good also. Things like the water effects (especially on an HD tv) look stunning. They are some of the best water graphics I have seen to date. Other than the water, the environments and Lara herself look great too!
Overall, this game is great. Although the game is a bit short, there is so much more that can be done. If you're into xbox live achievements, there are plenty to go after. Some of them you get just by simply beating the game on either the normal or hard difficulty setting, others you get by finding all of the rewards in each level. There are bronze, silver, and of course 1 gold reward in each level, even in the Croft Manor. Beating the time trial for each level completes another achievement. The achievements are fun to go after and searching through the levels for rewards is also a lot of fun. I mean, come one, this is a Tomb Raider game an all. This was such a fun game and is a definite buy (in my opinion) for any xbox 360 owner looking for a great action adventure title.
