 This is a must have game!Mar 16, 2000
This game is much better than the playstation version. The graphics have improved, the control is better, no blocky graphics, and actually shows Lara's fingers and her shadow! I would highly recomend that you pre-order this game. Dreamcast makes this game 100% better!

 Been there, done thatApr 10, 2000
I really liked the previous Tomb Raider games. So I was looking forward to play Tomb 4 as one of my first Dreamcast games. I heard the graphics are better than on the PC versions, better sounds, new features. Well, to make it short: The graphics have not improved considerably, the sound is nice, there are more or less TWO new features: combining inventory items and swinging on ropes. Everything else and I mean EVERYTHING is exactly the same as ever before. It's more a Tomb Raider 3: "Egyptian Scenario" except that you pay more. Bottom line: Eidos is simply squeezing the last dollar out of an old idea.

A beautiful game ruined by a million little annoyancesJul 11, 2000
On the surface, this game looks like the best of the tomb raider series. Massive locations, excellent graphics, decent controls (although they do take some getting used to). This game also has some of the most ingenious level designs of any Tomb Raider game, or any game period for that matter.Unfortunately this game suffers from the biggest drawback a game can have, in my opinion. It's difficulty level is so frustratingly high that I became stuck once every 15 minutes or so of gameplay. I literally needed a walkthrough to get through most of this game. I'd play for about 10 to 15 minutes and then I'd spend 45 minutes to an hour trying to figure out what to do next. It's enough to make you want to destroy everything within a ten mile radius. I like my games to be hard enough to leave you with a feeling of accomplishment, but this is just sadistic. If you'd like a comparison, this is the best I have. Did you ever play any of the Ninja Gaiden series on the NES? Do you remember screaming at Ryu for "death by stupidity" all the time? How about throwing controllers at the TV screen in an effort to let the game no that you are not pleased with it? That's exactly the way Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation makes me feel. It's a beautiful game that is truly enjoyable to watch someone else play, but when you play it yourself it is absolutely no fun at all. If you do not like being frustrated by your games, stay away from this one.

very fun, and chalenging, for those who like challengesJun 02, 2000
I love this game, people complain about the controls a lot, but I think that they're fine. The game is very interesting and the graphics are awesome. It will keep you playing for awhile. The puzzles and the enviroment you are in and deal with are fun and creative. I can't stop playing this game. I suggest that you go and buy it right now. Great game!

 Best Storyline of all Tomb Raiders, falls short on controlsApr 17, 2000
Tomb Raider 4 was enjoyable to play, AFTER you got past the first "learn the controls" level. It was frustrating to play because you can just use the Analog to move. You push forward and back to move, and left and right to turn with the Analog, but with the D-pad forward and back are walk and left and right are side step. Thas just wack to me. Above all, the storyline was INCREDIBLE! When you buy a Tomb Raider game, you know you're gonna get somethin' awesome, but this was, like I said, INCREDIBLE! A good buy!
