#15 - Tomb Raider II (PS1)


The best Tomb Raider. I loved this game. It was hard - really hard, and I used a guide through most of it, but you still felt a sense of accomplishment when you got through a level. So much variety to the levels as well. I remember my buddy at secondary school bought it at the same time and we raced to see who could complete it first. So many great moments - bursting through gondolas in a speed boat, getting the goons and the monks to fight eachother at the tibetan monastery, the maze and hidden underground chamber in her mansion, the ending when the goons invade her house, the butler you could shoot at, exploring her home, the freaky floating island level, and how terrifying the enemies were. The cut scenes were great too. A real nostalgia pick ^^

I agree, definitely the high point in the series. I liked a couple of levels better in the first 1 but 2 had the best quality overall. I also loved the underwater part inside the upturned sunken ship. Playing Uncharted 3 reminded me how great that was back then. A lot more believable then someone trying to use an elevator in a capsized sinking ship... after he already got on the outside... wtf
