The initials for Core Design and Crystal Dynamics are somewhat same...Also if you consider how CD bought another CD then some questions just keep popping up in minds...Anyway, this game, AOD, was the main reason for that.This game should be rated in a range 6.7- 8.7 I think,But somewhat some controller issues and graphical bugs made it underrated.It is just unfair.
sadly but a good ame too bad that eidos rushed core too complite the game i miss core hardly but the legend anniversary underworld are good games with lara looking forward too the reboot of tombraider that is coming too ps3 i got all tombraider games onPlayStation consoles from PlayStation1-3
Kurtis looked so sexy when the blades opened on his chigiru Blade. Nom! KTEM! Love you Kurtis, your not dead. You are alive in our hearts. (And in the old Lara's)
By FAR the best TR game. Edios, your biggest mistake was firing Core. Im getting the deluxe edition of this for christmas:) R.I.P awesome Lara's before Ledgend. FUCK YOU LEDGEND LARA!
BEST lara game ever made I think.. my all time favorite game on PS2, so many good memories playing that, nobody will ever be able to top this game! love it so much.
ok, look. i've had this game for 7 years now (i'm 18, it was my first game ever on the ps2, lol). the whole game is as awesome as hell, and it's in german (yeah, i'm a german...) but the fucking making of is in english and i watched it over 9000 times. still i don't understand what they say. -.-
could ANYONE of you holy english speaking people write the whole text of this video for me? i know i request much, but i could translate a text better than a video.
ahhhh, the good old days. I remember watching this so many times before AOD came out. I regret not playing this game when it was released despite all the bugs. The graphics must have been really impressive back then but now that I'm finally playing this game it looks much outdated of course. Although, there are some graphic techniques that still looks good even for today's games. I heard that this game was going to be like a showcase to show off the new DX8 shaders. Oh my, how time flies.
I thought it was a good game, but this video shows that the ones behind the game probably had to many ideas with a very short span of time. you know what, this game should have been made today, with the engines of games such as L.A noir or stuff like that.
Oh No Iam wanted for Murder so i will go kill some more people to prove i didnt kill von croy (EASY and A Bit Dumb) Except for that it's still a Tomb Raider Game And I Like Them All Except Legend & Underworld That Was Just Oh Mother. Father, Mother I Miss You (Lame)
This video had me sold, though I was really disappointed with the final product. I enjoyed the entire game, really, but I thought it could have been a lot better... They could have really put more effort into the actual game play rather the music. The music fits the game precisely btw.But eh, still not TR good y'know? People who've never played TR before were probably not impressed seeing as that the PS2 is a much stronger console than the PS1.They obviously did not use this to their advantage.
@superslydawg but the problem was making this game they had bitten off more than they could chew, they had made the game so large, they wanted things they couldn't do in the time given, and this is what made this game bomb.
if you have the game legend, anniversary, and underworld, those were awesome, tomb raider 1 2 3 4 5 were grat to, but core design gave up because of this game they hated it too
This game is so underated, Tomb Raider 1 was epic, i played it on my Sega Saturn, So impresive for its time, Tomb Raider 2 was good, Tomb Raider 3 was bad, Tomb raider The Last Revelation was better then Tomb raider 3 but it was just ok, This one, was awesome, Both Tomb Raider 1 and The Angel of Darckness are my favourit Tomb raider games in the Series, Tom Raider Legend was ok, Tomb Raider Aniversary was a disapointment, Tomb Raider Underworld was good, not has good has TB1 and TR AOD
Angel of darkness is the best tomb raider for the PS2. BECAUSE: Everything is climable, and interactive. In legend and the other games, ledges and platforms are basically pointed out with golden lights. HERE JUMP HERE, i'm so bright i must be climable! Random poles sticking out of walls and such. The new games are also remakes, the do not feature the same Lara we love. She is older, and cheesier. She even has to use a grappling hook!
And if thats not lame enough, there are floating Xs telling us where to jump. The music in the new games is no where near as complex and engaging as AOD. AND not to mention the storyline. AOD storyline is much more developed and interesting. Sure king arthur was fun, but interbreeding angels? And unholy monsters and murder and crime scenes? That is interesting. There are a few things that could have been better, such as, Lara's design, the controls, twin pistols. A lot of the game was left out.
If the producers had been given a bit more time, it would have been even more incredible. I only wish that someone would continue this story. Like he says, a lot of doors are opened, and only a few a closed. OKAY ranting done...lol

I know people love to blame Eidos, and they are to blame to a certain extent because they rushed the game, but Core didn't come up with ANY good ideas for this Tomb Raider. Leveling up her strength? Stupid. All that talking and choosing what Lara will say? Stupid. The control scheme they came up with was the worst EVER! The positives were that the story was somewhat interesting and the graphics were kinda good. Everything else was crap. Even if it wasn't rushed, it would have sucked.
What you have to do is simple. Take out the shotgun and shoot the ghost until it stops moving. Then quickly take the painting from the statue. If you have trouble with the ghost hitting you simply crouch on the floor. It won't hit you. I hope to have been of some help to you.
If they remake AOD, their fanbase would increase by a bazillion percent.
Seriously, that would be awesome. They should just get the top designers from both Core and Crystal and comprise the series. Just as long as they don't make Kurtis look like a douchebag...
Yeah, their fan base would be bigger if they remade AOD, it would be great for a remake. They should also give Kurtis (for the parts that you play as him) a different set of moves that Lara doesn't have (vise versa).
Bit off subject, but I think CD want to remake no.2 (its probably just a rumor, but that would be cool too).
Yeah totally! The intentions for the game were so amazing, but poorly executed obviously. THe controls were terrible, to say the least. I personally think they were a bit overambitious, but not having enough time to finish the project added to it too...
The game itself was good, story wise anyway, even though the gameplay wasn't. Thought the story line was good because it was different than the other TR games.
Yes! That pissed me off so much. Lara's trademark weapons are the dual pistols...how the hell are you going to take those away?! AND not even give me unlimited ammo! It also pissed me off how she'd be like on a ledge and you pull out the gun and she'd start dancing around like an idiot in attempt to aim at the enemy, then fall off the cliff and either die or be attacked by the baddie XD
This is the best game ever. It's a huge part of my life. Everyday I think about this game, this Tomb Raider. I love everything about it. And Kurtis, o god, I love Kurtis. They have to bring him back. AND LISTEN PEOPLE:I'VE PLAYED THIS GAME ON PS2 AND NEVER ENCOUNTERED ANY BUGS!!! SO STOP COMPLAINING!!! I'm a true fan of this game and the story touched me. It has inspired many things in my life. I love this video. "Lara's shadow" I love it! I love the dark places, music, characters, everything!
I agree 100% !!! I didn't think that the game was a failure whatsoever! I loved Kurtis's character, and it was a pity that he was never mentioned again. I completely agree that he should make a comeback! It's just sad that Core Design wasn't even able to finish creating AoD by the deadline, because they really had a great storyline going! But the strange thing is that recently on the Eidos TR forums, AoD is the 2nd most favourited game of the franchise right now, after TR: Underworld... :-)
I love it! Kurtis is the shadow following Lara. I love his dark, revenge-seeking character. He fits Lara perfectly....And he just so happened to be put in the best Tomb Raider game. I love the music, the story, the characters, theme, places, the language, everything about this game. These years have been dreadful hoping and waiting to solve the unanswered questions in this game. If anyone has any ideas on how to bring this game back or wants to discuss this game please let me know...
too bad CORE was bought by Crystal Dynamics...or how i call it Crystal Shit.....if CORE wasnt buyed i think they wouldve do TR7 when lara finds kurtis and they work togheter again....but Crystal Shit buyed CORE....
@STEProductions no core design gave up on tomb raider, because of this game, so if you want AOD 2 then its going to be in crystel dynamics version. personallt i liked the CD versions, there more realistic, but still acts fake at the same time, and the grip bar sucked im sure every one agreeded wit that
Tomb Raider Angel of Darkness was the best tomb raider game ever. People need to stop complainingabout he glitches and bugs, I played it on PS2 and had no problems. Besides it's not like Crystal Dynamics will ever make a game as good as this one. I missed the dark, sick theme of AOD when I played Anniversary and Legend. They need to continue this story and BRING KURTIS BACK!!! He's the only guy good enough for Lara.
GreenEyedAngel15 thank you so much.. You've articulated my feelings. You're totally right!! I've mailed to Crystal Dynamics to bring Kurtis back. I hope they bring him back.
Can you tell me how to mail Crystal Dynamics? I've been looking for ways to reach them and Eidos Interactive. I want them to remake Angel of Darkness and finish the story that has already been started.
the main problem on aod is the bugs :( i found these horrible bugs, since missing floor to no texture in a lot of characters, and the hard controls dont help much either :( it could have been a great game
I Think That Angel Of Darkness Is The Best Tomb Raider Game. Legend Was Good, But WAY TO SHORT And Definatley Too Easy! Angel Of Darkness Is Long, Difficult And Absolutley Re-Playable! Im Not Saying Legend Was A Bad Game! Angel Of Darkness Has Got That Tomb Radier Feel To It, They Lost That With Legend, Though She Does Have Some Awesome New Moves! Angel Of Darkness Is My Personal Favourite.

If Lara moved AOD the way she moves in Legend...AOD would have been 1000000 times easier! The REASON why AOD was difficult is because of the CRAP controls!
@VendettaPiXie I Tottaly Agree It Was My Favorite Game I Played It Through 39 Times Because I liked it so much many of the contributing factors why this game was so good because you didnt have unlimited ammo and stuff you have to collect things and the dialogue choices and also you could KICK PEOPLE, YEAH!
@VendettaPiXie GESS WAT ND YESS I DEFFANATLLY DO AGREE WITH U ND I REALLY REALLY DO LUUVV TRAOD ND ALSO THE OTHER ONES EVVNN THOUGH THT TRAOD HAS SEEMED LYK 1 OF THE MOSTEST POPULAR TR RYT BUDDY!!!! :D
I don't care how many bugs and glitches there are in this game. This game totally awesome and has a great storyline! So people who hate this game, why watch stuff about it. If you watch stuff you hate, why watch it! I love Tomb Raider Angel of Darkness and nobody will change my mind!
If Core had been given the money, team and time to complete this project, Eidos probably wouldh have had the greatest game in their history on their hands, but their impatience brought the franchise down.
I watched this video on the game before actually playing it, so I could get some background information on the plot, and in one part it says "The game opens more doors then it closes", which I think was a warning for the whole "Did Kurtis die?" question. I knew to expect a lot of unanswered questions after watching it, and I think that's what other players should've done.
As I've already said, I don't understand what they say in the video ('cause spoken language is harder to understand for foreign people)... so it's a blessing to read something they said in the video.
I'm more sure than before, after reading this quote ("The game opens more doors then it closes"), that they refer to Kurtis.
I'm quite aware of the fact that Kurtis isn't dead. If Eidos hadn't cancelled the AOD Trilogy like Core had planned, there would be actual proof, because after Angel there was supposed to be a spin-off game for Kurtis, called "Demon Hunter" (and kind of prequel to AOD), and after that was a sequel of the AOD story with a lot of Kurtis in it.
I said that because some people were pissed and confused at how the game ended, and had they watched this video, they would know what to expect.
Really?! Hey, how is it over there? i'm moving there in a few years and i'm ultra-excited! And yeah, Legend was definitely a bit too short. It was still a great game though!
I didn't like legend, the story wasn't so exciting than the others. But Lara craft has 7 games (8 with anniversary) and i don't know if in this new one (Underworld) will have Kurtis or anything related to Volcroy's stuff xD
Legend was okay, but you're right about the story. AOD was great because I came to care about the characters more - I loved Kurtis and was on the edge of my seat when he fought Boaz! I don't like Lara's mum, she's not a likeable character, therefore I didn't really care about her enough to be bothered saving her.
lol yeah, AOD actually was one of the series which has a real story, before tomb raider 4, because of the volcroy's death and stuff, made all tomb raider fans really excited. And ur right again, lara alone makes tomb raider a little weaker, she needs something more.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
The new Lara is fake? How is she fake when her CREATOR is overseeing the projects? He quit after TR1 because Core was fucking HIS character up! He didn't come back again until after Core was FIRED!
I've been trying to forget this stupid game. Gosh, after 2003 I started to hate TR franchise because of this shit... Fortunately, Crystal Dinamics did something enjoyable for the first time in 6 years...
it was wrong making it mysterious in that way. i think it should be similar to tomb raider 4, that was mysterious but still the tomb raider the fans used to know. it should not be "resident evil" or "silent hill" it should be "tomb raider."
although..if the animation was more like silent hill, I would like this game, i think lol
thanks for the lies, losing tomb raider and blowing Lara in the process. And selling the artbook only in Japan is just discusting. Instead of acting ego you should have hired more people to make a good game. Instead we were left with this piece of crap that killed Lara for the second time. (TR4 attempt remember losers?)
x_x that's ridiculous. The deadline should have been already defined before even begining the project. You can't just cut the deadline in half in the middle of the date...
It really pissed me off when I found out about the Eidos/Core thing. Crystal Dynamics are ok but the Core Lara is the true Lara who we all know and love. Crystal D are gonna have to work a bit harder to fill Core's shoes.
Really? I think TR5-7 are the best ones. It went a bit downhill with Legend because it was far too short and the combat was boring, but I really think they picked it up again with Anniversary, although there is still a little room for improvement. AOD is one of the best.
the game would have been LOADS better if core hadn't hurried to finish it up just to put it out on the market. i like the game, hope they can somehow restore the beta version and make it downloadable or something.
I know. All TRs are FAB, even the new ones that everyone here seems to be criticising. It's just a new take, and everyone should get used to it. If people just accept it then they'll grow to like Crystal D just as much as Core.
did this game come out for pc too? i heard the controls are awful but i want to know if that stands for pc, not just ps2. i would like to try it, it is the only tr game i did not play.
The controls for PC are pretty klutzy, but it's an enjoyable game with some really nice-looking levels, and a weird, downbeat atmosphere. I think it's worth picking up for 3.99 or whatever it go. I got about a month's worth of play out of it, "Legend" I finished in less than a week, & found a bit boring TBH. The moist frustrating thing about the game is that it's obviously unfinished, and they didn't do a very good job of hiding where the missing bits were supposed to go.
Legend was far far far too short, and the combat was boring. You couldn't even dive and shoot at the same time and I hated how you had to kill people all the time. What happened to Lara's morals? She seems so distressed when she kills Larson in TR Anniversary.
yeah but what you gotta remember is that TR-A is like waaaay b4 AOD...yeah i know its after AOD but its a remake of TR1, so you know the girls been through some rough shit, id be happy to kill some mother fuckers if i had been chased by wolves, gorrillas, t-rex, people etc etc
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Dive and shoot people at the same time? I couldn't even get her to dive in AOD because the controls were so bad. I could barely make her turn around. At least in Crystal games she can actually move.
And in case you slept through AOD, she kills A LOT of people in that. INNOCENT people. She kills security guards. Innocent people just doing their job. At least in Legend and Anniversary she only kills bad guys.
There's absolutely no need for your rudeness, so please could you take that stick out of your ass before it gets wedged there permanently.
I did not sleep through AOD, and I find it extremely stupid that you say she kills 'innocent people just doing their job' in that particular game. I wonder who it is she kills in Legend? I seem to remember it was, again, 'innocent people doing their job'. And you clearly slept through AOD if you couldn't make Lara turn round - the controls were easy!
This game would have been the best in the series, if it weren't for the god damn controls. It would be interesting if Crystal Dinamics would remake the game, but I doubt it they would. Really, it's a waste of space, time and money.
It's Eidos fault... This game appeared a year(!) before time, I just don't understand why Eidos did this... It's a big sad really, this game colud be the best in TR series and even one of the top games in the world... But we have what we have... :(
this game scares me, i love all the tomb raider games including this one but this one gives me the heebey jeebeys. Ive been playing tomb raider since i was 6, and i am now 15 so i know everything about lara and all the tomb raider games, and this one is the freakest.
AOD had a good concept, and they had great ideas. The problem was they focused too much on how it all looked, and promoting the game, instead of the game itself. It's y It didnt go so well because of all the glitches, and the stuff that was reused from the older games. Plus the fact that the cooler stuff of the game didn't last long. (What I personally hated was unless u were cheating couldnt get duel handguns.)
I agree with your opinion. But I guess they got rather excited at the fact that the games graphics looked rather impressive and lush. Also I blame Eidos for rushing them, a good game takes a least 3 years to complete, that includes graphics, gameplay and other faciliates needed in the game. But money-mad Eidos did not understand that.
so, working hard on a game is NOT enough.

Yeah the whole strength thing wasn't a good idea, plus they didn't give you unlimited ammo for the pistols (there wasn't even two).
Sometimes it was quite funny when every time you pushed something you heard "My legs feel stronger now"
Ants202 2 years ago 3
Yes! That pissed me off so much. Lara's trademark weapons are the dual pistols...how the hell are you going to take those away?! AND not even give me unlimited ammo! It also pissed me off how she'd be like on a ledge and you pull out the gun and she'd start dancing around like an idiot in attempt to aim at the enemy, then fall off the cliff and either die or be attacked by the baddie XD

This is the best game ever. It's a huge part of my life. Everyday I think about this game, this Tomb Raider. I love everything about it. And Kurtis, o god, I love Kurtis. They have to bring him back. AND LISTEN PEOPLE:I'VE PLAYED THIS GAME ON PS2 AND NEVER ENCOUNTERED ANY BUGS!!! SO STOP COMPLAINING!!! I'm a true fan of this game and the story touched me. It has inspired many things in my life. I love this video. "Lara's shadow" I love it! I love the dark places, music, characters, everything!
GreenEyedAngel15 2 years ago 3
I agree 100% !!! I didn't think that the game was a failure whatsoever! I loved Kurtis's character, and it was a pity that he was never mentioned again. I completely agree that he should make a comeback! It's just sad that Core Design wasn't even able to finish creating AoD by the deadline, because they really had a great storyline going! But the strange thing is that recently on the Eidos TR forums, AoD is the 2nd most favourited game of the franchise right now, after TR: Underworld... :-)
trjunepearl 2 years ago 3
I love it! Kurtis is the shadow following Lara. I love his dark, revenge-seeking character. He fits Lara perfectly....And he just so happened to be put in the best Tomb Raider game. I love the music, the story, the characters, theme, places, the language, everything about this game. These years have been dreadful hoping and waiting to solve the unanswered questions in this game. If anyone has any ideas on how to bring this game back or wants to discuss this game please let me know...

Tomb Raider Angel of Darkness was the best tomb raider game ever. People need to stop complainingabout he glitches and bugs, I played it on PS2 and had no problems. Besides it's not like Crystal Dynamics will ever make a game as good as this one. I missed the dark, sick theme of AOD when I played Anniversary and Legend. They need to continue this story and BRING KURTIS BACK!!! He's the only guy good enough for Lara.

I Think That Angel Of Darkness Is The Best Tomb Raider Game. Legend Was Good, But WAY TO SHORT And Definatley Too Easy! Angel Of Darkness Is Long, Difficult And Absolutley Re-Playable! Im Not Saying Legend Was A Bad Game! Angel Of Darkness Has Got That Tomb Radier Feel To It, They Lost That With Legend, Though She Does Have Some Awesome New Moves! Angel Of Darkness Is My Personal Favourite.

If Lara moved AOD the way she moves in Legend...AOD would have been 1000000 times easier! The REASON why AOD was difficult is because of the CRAP controls!

I watched this video on the game before actually playing it, so I could get some background information on the plot, and in one part it says "The game opens more doors then it closes", which I think was a warning for the whole "Did Kurtis die?" question. I knew to expect a lot of unanswered questions after watching it, and I think that's what other players should've done.
rockerazz8 3 years ago
As I've already said, I don't understand what they say in the video ('cause spoken language is harder to understand for foreign people)... so it's a blessing to read something they said in the video.
I'm more sure than before, after reading this quote ("The game opens more doors then it closes"), that they refer to Kurtis.
Kurtis is NOT dead.
Make it enter in your heads.
Bitter12 3 years ago
I'm quite aware of the fact that Kurtis isn't dead. If Eidos hadn't cancelled the AOD Trilogy like Core had planned, there would be actual proof, because after Angel there was supposed to be a spin-off game for Kurtis, called "Demon Hunter" (and kind of prequel to AOD), and after that was a sequel of the AOD story with a lot of Kurtis in it.
I said that because some people were pissed and confused at how the game ended, and had they watched this video, they would know what to expect.

Adnamra 3 years ago
Legend was okay, but you're right about the story. AOD was great because I came to care about the characters more - I loved Kurtis and was on the edge of my seat when he fought Boaz! I don't like Lara's mum, she's not a likeable character, therefore I didn't really care about her enough to be bothered saving her.
kattykool1994 3 years ago 3
lol yeah, AOD actually was one of the series which has a real story, before tomb raider 4, because of the volcroy's death and stuff, made all tomb raider fans really excited. And ur right again, lara alone makes tomb raider a little weaker, she needs something more.

thanks for the lies, losing tomb raider and blowing Lara in the process. And selling the artbook only in Japan is just discusting.

Really? I think TR5-7 are the best ones. It went a bit downhill with Legend because it was far too short and the combat was boring, but I really think they picked it up again with Anniversary, although there is still a little room for improvement. AOD is one of the best.

LAJHS 4 years ago
The controls for PC are pretty klutzy, but it's an enjoyable game with some really nice-looking levels, and a weird, downbeat atmosphere. I think it's worth picking up for 3.99 or whatever it go. I got about a month's worth of play out of it, "Legend" I finished in less than a week, & found a bit boring TBH. The moist frustrating thing about the game is that it's obviously unfinished, and they didn't do a very good job of hiding where the missing bits were supposed to go.
vietgrove 4 years ago 3
Legend was far far far too short, and the combat was boring. You couldn't even dive and shoot at the same time and I hated how you had to kill people all the time. What happened to Lara's morals? She seems so distressed when she kills Larson in TR Anniversary.
kattykool1994 3 years ago
yeah but what you gotta remember is that TR-A is like waaaay b4 AOD...yeah i know its after AOD but its a remake of TR1, so you know the girls been through some rough shit, id be happy to kill some mother fuckers if i had been chased by wolves, gorrillas, t-rex, people etc etc

Dive and shoot people at the same time? I couldn't even get her to dive in AOD because the controls were so bad. I could barely make her turn around. At least in Crystal games she can actually move.
And in case you slept through AOD, she kills A LOT of people in that. INNOCENT people. She kills security guards. Innocent people just doing their job. At least in Legend and Anniversary she only kills bad guys.
You're an idiot

There's absolutely no need for your rudeness, so please could you take that stick out of your ass before it gets wedged there permanently.
I did not sleep through AOD, and I find it extremely stupid that you say she kills 'innocent people just doing their job' in that particular game. I wonder who it is she kills in Legend? I seem to remember it was, again, 'innocent people doing their job'. And you clearly slept through AOD if you couldn't make Lara turn round - the controls were easy!

AOD had a good concept, and they had great ideas. The problem was they focused too much on how it all looked, and promoting the game, instead of the game itself. It's y It didnt go so well because of all the glitches, and the stuff that was reused from the older games. Plus the fact that the cooler stuff of the game didn't last long. (What I personally hated was unless u were cheating couldnt get duel handguns.)
Taraka1 4 years ago 3
I agree with your opinion. But I guess they got rather excited at the fact that the games graphics looked rather impressive and lush. Also I blame Eidos for rushing them, a good game takes a least 3 years to complete, that includes graphics, gameplay and other faciliates needed in the game. But money-mad Eidos did not understand that.
