Nice looking level designs. Amazing sound quality with Dolby Pro Logic II and music that fits well with the levels. Controls are good, but sometimes difficult to control long jumps. Nice gameplay extras. But the quest is disappointingly short. Great game, but just not enough of it. At least five more levels would have been nice. This game took me about three hours to complete, but Resident Evil 4 takes all day to finish. Very good game, though.

@punittmishra You realize anniversary is just a remake of the original... right..

@punittmishra it is FAR better than anniversary... but i think underworld is just as good.

Continued... and a cast of characters that are constantly threating you or cracking a joke, or whatever, something to keep you engaged. The only thing that Legends was missing is that it should have been longer, something that could get 20 hours at least, but without resorting to the cheap deaths and insanely difficult puzzles that the previous games did to increase their lengths.

Continued... Another thing that makes it boring is the lack of any music whatsoever, except in cutscenes, just ambient sounds, nothing to get you pumped for the combat or puzzles. If it wasn't for the gripping story they bothered to sprinkle in every once and a while, I probably wouldn't have made myself suffer through the games to see it. Legends has interesting and fast paced combat, puzzles that are simple and not too demanding, and a very enticing musical score, Next comment...

This is easily the best tomb raider game I've ever played, probably because it's not boring. All previous tomb raider games had boring combat, which amounted to "fire continuously while jumping away, no further strategy for any of the games whatsoever, followed by even more boring puzzles, which amounted to pull a switch and run and/or jump to another switch ridiculously fast and if you're late by half a second either a trap kills you instantly or you have to start over.

Amazing game. I'm glad I played it on the PS2, Lara looks like shit in the 360 version with all those crazy shaders on.
