TOMB RAIDER VOICE ACTRESSES

Tomb Raider I [classic]: Shelley Blond Tomb Raider II & Tomb Raider III: Judith Gibbins Tomb Raider [The Last Revelation] IV - Tomb Raider [Angel of Darkness] VI: Jonell Elliot Tomb Raider [Legend] VII - Tomb Raider X?: Keeley Hawes

If you remember I became hooked on Tomb Raider after playing around with Tomb Raider II after hearing her [Lara] response towards my lack of tombraidering game skills at that time but when I first heard her [Lara] voice again on Tomb Raider I [classic] I defiantly would say, I prefer Shelley's voice as Lara for the original version of Tomb Raider. Be that as it may, I also prefer Keeley's voice as the new version of Lara Croft also and I definitely look forward to hearing more of her voice talents as Lara in future games as long as she is available.

TOMB RAIDER GAME RANTS

Tomb Raider New Menus-

I must say that after playing Tomb Raider [The Last Revelation] IV & Tomb Raider [Chronicles] V, I did not like the new set up at all. I prefer the original set-up in Tomb Raider I [classic - Tomb Raider III better. It's because your game was saved after completing a level and if you didn't save often in Tomb Raider [The Last Revelation] IV & Tomb Raider [Chronicles], you would be doomed to have to restart from whence you last saved and also if you were in a hurry you might have accidently reloaded the game rather than saving it (I know I did it more than one ocassion.).

Tomb Raider Load Game Menu-

I loved the fact that after you had messed up so bad in any level (Example: Forgot a secret or two.) you could restart the entire level with the greatest of ease but since then, in the new update in Tomb Raider [The Last Revelation] IV & Tomb Raider [Chronicles]V if you screwed up that bad, you were doomed to restart the entire game. I actually had to do that; no joke I was furious!

Tomb Raider Save Crystals?-

Even though I adore Tomb Raider I [classic] I despised the method of saving in that game. It seemed you had to go to such great lengths to be able to save the game if you were a clumsy gamer. There are areas that should have had more Save Crystals because of the chances of totally messing up and killing Lara or having to backtrack.

With Tomb Raider II, I enjoyed the freedom of saving whereever I was but I also accidently reloaded instead of saving. However it was alot better than Tomb Raider I [classic] & Tomb Raider III. I'd save whereever I knew I would have a problem as and I definitely did not have to backtrack if Lara died or etc. It was great freedom.

Even though Tomb Raider III made it a little easier without almost causing an accidental reloading of the game; if you run out of Save Crystals you were doomed. I actually had to cheat a bit in the game because of there were areas in London and the South Pacific Islands that was hells in most areas. You would actually have to slow down to get anywhere.

Tomb Raider Physical Abilities-

I loved the new improvements in each game. I almost wish Eidos and Core had thought that far ahead to made each game the bestb combiding each new ability especially since they redid Tomb Raider [Tomb Raider Legend VII]. It has always been entertaining to watch Lara swan-dive and still do a flip in Tomb Raider II and I often wish for abilities from the newer games to join the older games. It was a pain to have to turn around and crawl out of high crawl spaces with the new ability to flip out of them on Tomb Raider [Chronicles] V.

I wasn't excited about the tightrope walking ability as it seemed to slow Lara down but they could use another method to surpass those type of obstacles with more planning. There are times when Lara seems so slow to do certain actions that is makes it diffifult for her to win in timetrials. I often get so frustrated that I end up restarting them if I screw up something small because it takes more time to recover. It's like stopping at red light after you've been coasting in the car for awhile and then you have to reach the made speed all over and that takes time too.

NEWS & UPDATES-

I will be adding more later. Enjoy what is available; I love to share my experiences.
