It's still Underworld, but I think Rise will be one of my favorites, due to their being an open world, a crafting system, and more ways to avoid combat.

The Great Wall and Venice levels were just amazing, and the boat was our first vehicle! At first I thought the Maria Doria was annoying (I hate the blue lighting) but in hindsight, the levels were actually really fun. The Opera House was just amazing and huge. But the Tibet and China levels were my favorite. I love the design and there will probably never be another TR level like the Floating Islands.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10648426711476877831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-203486658912585901.post-49127217397223830512011-10-25T09:26:28.376-04:002011-10-25T09:26:28.376-04:00Oh yeah.

And not only that, it's a perfect game. It's challenging, beautiful, diverse, a lot of fun, has the best vehicles and enemies, plus the story is interesting. And I love TR3 Lara too. I love that when I replay the levels, I still might find something new I didn't notice before. Like new ways and places to go. Although I think now I know everything about it :') I recently replayed it with all secrets and I already feel like I want to replay it again :D I also love to try different bugs and glitches, it's so much fun!Susannanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-203486658912585901.post-18039265635280325562011-09-22T12:39:18.332-04:002011-09-22T12:39:18.332-04:00Last Revelation was my favorite game as a whole. ...Last Revelation was my favorite game as a whole.

Especially liked these experiences: the white water rafting in Madubu Gorge, the Nevada desert, Shiva statue in the Temple Ruins, Chunnel excavation site, the entire Scotland, Mad House and Reunion levels. My fondest memories are those from that sunken ship level, Maria Doria in TR2 and those creepy mutants in the snow tunnels in TR3. And out of the newer Crystal D games, can’t pick a favorite game, they’re all really great. The music is a bit distracting and over done at times, but the Lara body models in Legend and Anniversary are my all-time favorites. And the walk, run and control animations in Underworld are without a doubt the best. - DonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-203486658912585901.post-52177846913805208942011-09-15T07:02:11.471-04:002011-09-15T07:02:11.471-04:00TR3 was the first one I played and will probably a...TR3 was the first one I played and will probably always be my favorite.

I love the underwater levels from TR2, traps in Atlantis from TR1 and exploring Mexico in TRU. The series just offers so many things to enjoy! But nostalgia gets the best of me on this one. I have to say that my favorite game is TR2. The level design is just excellent, and environments are cool and mostly believable (except the random TNT crate in Venice....) I especially love the Temple of Xian. My favorite room in the entire series has to be the chamber with an elevated walkway suspended precariously above a pool of lava. As you start running, a boulder falls in an Indiana Jones-esque manner, and at the last possible second, you can jump and grab for a ledge beneath a giant dragon head, or backwards roll and grasp the edge of the platform as the boulder rolls off. And to boot, TR2 was the first game I remember playing in the series. And then, years later, it was the first classic Core game I beat without the handy, dandy level skip cheat. ;) TR2 has to be my favorite, but I'm also in love with Guardian of Light and TR1. Those come close in second place. :)Hunter Wolfehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12551832692618453482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-203486658912585901.post-27281227632548145202011-09-11T10:31:34.059-04:002011-09-11T10:31:34.059-04:00Although Tomb Raider 2 (so classy) and Tomb Raider...Although Tomb Raider 2 (so classy) and Tomb Raider 6 (the story!) are close behind, for me it has to be The Last Revelation.<br /><br />It's so dark and lonely, and it's mostly set in tombs!Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10583888620915165834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-203486658912585901.post-36395637297084664982011-09-09T08:30:45.239-04:002011-09-09T08:30:45.239-04:00Gotta agree with you, Stella!

But ...TR2 was my first, favorite, and most played. <br />But I have enjoyed all of them in many respects. <br />The spookiness and originality of TR1. Immense! <br /><br />The variety, and improved graphics of TR3. <br />Area 51 and Antarctica were especially memorable. <br /><br />Again, much better graphics in TR4! <br />Great Egypt play! Giza was my fave level. <br /><br />TR5 was enjoyable in its own way, <br />but somewhat disappointing due to <br />the shortness of level games. <br />But still, some good adventures! <br /><br />I hated AoD at first. Lara was, at first, <br />very unsympathetic and jerky (like a <br />"crack ho" as I stated on TR forums) <br />I never liked Trent in the game. <br />Still, the game did grow on me <br />and had some really great levels.<br /><br />Legend was "short and easy", but beautiful! <br />My favorite (prettiest, sexiest) Lara so far, IMHO. <br />Love the MC rides! PLayed them many a time, hehe! <br /><br />Anniversary is an absolute joy! <br />Wonderful in most all ways- <br />except the adrenaline dodge. <br />Grrr, never really got good at that. <br /><br />Underworld is an achievement, <br />but not my fave. Hard to say why... <br />Maybe because I played it on Mac/PC <br />and suffered many tech problems.<br /><br />Waiting for the next, hopefully on Mac!Airavehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12522889188268433215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-203486658912585901.post-10341029763951650692011-09-03T20:28:34.089-04:002011-09-03T20:28:34.089-04:00My favourite has always been TRII.

It was also the first I bought - along with the PlayStation and Tekken 2, my reason to get the console in the first place - but just by a few days. My next day off I also bought part I and I hadn't even gotten through China yet. I then played both games, always alternating when I was stuck. I had much more fun with II though. (Save anytime - not only at the crystal locations. No Atlantis - hated it. Venice - loved it. Motorboat and snow mobile fun. And the weapons arsenal was great - funnily nowadays, after missing them dearly in AoD, I am glad as long as I have the twin pistols with unlimited ammunition.)<br /><br />Why not one of the new games? It's tough to beat that feeling you got when you played the game which made you a fan. I really liked Legend, too short though. And Underworld had a good beginning, but it went downhill after Mexico. Plus stupid Secrets. Anniversary had most of it right, but wasn't a fresh game.<br /><br />TAoD had a good story - very detailed but alas not gapless when released...- and many fresh ideas, but some did not work. The controls sucked.<br /><br />Basically I have fond memories of all the games, but II is the one. Although if I'd have to pick between II and III plus their add ons, I might pick III. I loved Scotland and LA is my favourite add on by far.Janahttp://www.tombraidergirl.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-203486658912585901.post-62634791618143555312011-09-03T12:18:41.215-04:002011-09-03T12:18:41.215-04:00Well,my favorite game?All games are my favorite..B...Well,my favorite game?All games are my favorite..But if I must..xD from TR1 to TR6 favorite games are Tomb Raider1 & Tomb Raider3.<br />I love so much Underworld it have awesome story and it was hard.Legend was to easy,still amazing game.Anniversary perfect to..but I still think that the earlier games were more interesting,because they had a specific movement(controls).."Poor" graphics make the game somehow different from all others...As I said all games are awesome.Some levels are good some better,some parts boring or to easy(or to hard)..sry bad eng.:DAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-203486658912585901.post-8777527317545765072011-09-03T10:42:49.627-04:002011-09-03T10:42:49.627-04:00From a visual standpoint, my favorite TR would hav...From a visual standpoint, my favorite TR would have to be Underworld. I also like the story for that one as well. But I think my first love from all the TR games would have to be TR3.

I love the variety of locales, the colors and the music, and how lost it got me (I wouldn't have found your site if it hadn't been for that game, Stella!).

The music is great and iconic (and underrated), the graphics were pretty good for that time (not that I normally care about graphics), and the gameplay was fun and timeless. And the story was pretty good. And the characters. ARGGHHH I love it! It also harboured a awesome remake.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
