Tomb Raider II - Power Mac
Game Overview

Summary
A disappointing lack lustre followup to the groundbreaking Tomb Raider.
Where the original was innovative and enthrawling, the second of the series does little to build upon the the original game's trend setting foundation. the gameplay has hardly changed, if it has some would argue that it's for the worse, as there is less of the adventure and more of the bang-bang.
New abilities and the use of vehicles have been added Lara's reportoire, but all this is let down by bland level design, rep ... more >>

New abilities and the use of vehicles have been added Lara's reportoire, but all this is let down by bland level design, repetition and presence of bugs passed on from it's predecessor.
Add to this to almost non-existant plot line, which leaves the player wondering if there is a point to all this scouring, plundering and killing, and the game comes a distant second to the original.
Once played, the game looks more like a mission disk. If' you've never played the original Tomb Raider, it a fine game, but to seasoned Raiders, it may leave some feeling a little disillusioned. << less
