I have had it since I was 9 and still think it's game kool
im 14 and still playing this game it starts with a chioce between rue and mint. Mints gets to use magic and her story line is funnier because she is a spoided, lazy, brat,and a princesses and got kick out of her kingdom so now she is trying to achive world domination by finding Aeons relic. but Rue is my favorite person because he can transeform into his enemys, he has a stronger story line and he gets to go to the the mountin (which is wicked fun). its not all that expensive ether.

Welcome back from 2003 Year of the Replay
Well, it's been two years since I bought this game and I finally got around to playing it.Threads of Fate was one of Squaresofts 'trial games' from the Summer of Square in 2000.I say it's a trial game because Square rarely brings their RPG talents into the real-time action adventure arena.For fans of Brave Fencer Musashi this game is a must buy.It showcases a similar fighting system and one of the playable characters (Rue)is able to take on the traits of his recently defeated enemies.Whereas the other character (Mint) uses her skill in magic to fight the bad guys.

Unfortunately, there isn't much to this game.The challenge is very low and the only parts that can be considered hard fall into the "Time your jumps or else" annoyance category.My first playthrough only took me 7 hours and in that time I was able to find all the hidden items.However, the games saving grace is its humor and that you are able to play through the game using the 2 different characters.

While not one of Square's best games, I recommend this to someone looking for a quick little diversion, or even to the more amateur gamers out there.

Editorial Review

The first of the now-famous Tomb Raider games is a must-have for every gaming fan. You are Lara Croft, a tough, beautiful, sophisticated female Indiana Jones--think of a British Demi Moore in a fedora. Lara climbs walls, leaps chasms, and generally defies gravity using impressive gymnastics. All of her actions are intricately modeled to produce the lifelike athleticism that made Tomb Raider--and Lara Croft--famous.

But Lara's got more than good looks and smooth moves to help her on her globetrotting quest for relics. Like guns. Lots of guns. Lara begins her adventures with her trademark pistols, wielded John Woo-style: one in each hand. She eventually works her way up to Uzis and even adds a handy shotgun to her arsenal, perfect for taking down a troublesome tyrannosaur found in some steamy Tibetan lost world.

Here's the story: having made a name for herself as a finder of antiquities, Lara is hired by a mysterious woman to find an artifact believed to have come from Atlantis. Lara travels around the world, plumbing the depths of long- or best-forgotten locales. As she discovers clues to the artifact's whereabouts, she also uncovers the true motivation behind her employer's search. The intriguing plot is told through gorgeous computer animation movie cutscenes interspersed throughout the game's episodes.

As you venture to and through various ancient tombs, a host of enemies and puzzles await you. In fact, it is the puzzles that will keep players interested even after the challenge of slaying enemies has passed. Also hidden throughout the game are a number of secret rooms and hidden treasures, unnecessary for completion of the game but adding a level of complexity and replay value.

Being one of the few video game characters to grace mainstream magazine covers, Lara Croft is part of video game history. Ravenous fans have demanded three sequels, with the fourth installment, Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation, due in late 1999--and a live-action movie in the works. And it all started with this game, the original Tomb Raider. --Allen Stewart

Pros:

• Great graphics
• Fun camera angles
• Complex puzzles require time and thought
• Entertaining plot, well-directed movie scenes

Cons:

• Takes a while to learn all of Lara's moves

The ORIGINAL derivative Indiana Jones ripoff
OH YES....this game is what it's all about.Sure, it looks totally archaic now with its primitive low-polygon 3D (cf. Lara's Madonna-style pyramid breasts) and jerky low frame rate - BUT WHO CARES."Tomb Raider" was one of the first fully-realized 3D games, with huge environments and a camera that lets you explore them fully - something next-gen developers still seem to have a problem with sometimes - and, of course, best of all, an action hero that players across the board could instantly connect with.Yes, Lara Croft - men want her, women want to be her...lol.Forget about her later misadventures on celluloid and (worst of all) the PS2 platform.Even on the PS1, all the new innovations in graphics and AI that cropped up in subsequent TR installments couldn't improve upon the originality of gameplay you have here in the debut.The puzzles, the secrets, the at-times relentless action, this game has it all.

Much like Indiana Jones, we first encounter Lara as she explores some ruins in South America - allegedly the village of Vilcabamba, an actual archeological site in Ecuador, although as it appears in the game it's more of a generic hotch-pot of pre-Columbian art and architecture.Of course you have the rolling ball traps everywhere, and of course she eventually finds a golden idol - more nods to Indy.Later she explores Las Vegas versions of Rome and Egypt, slaughtering more endangered species in the process than are even left on the planet (PETA just loved this game) before proceeding to - where else? - Atlantis, which is naturally swarming with freakish and bloodthirsty mutants.All this because she's in search of an artifact whose magical powers, if in the wrong hands, could destroy the world, or something.

It's easy to punch holes in the ridiculous plot, but that doesn't affect the entertainment value - again just like with Indy, you know it's stupid, but you're more than willing to suspend disbelief just to go along with the wild ride.Getting through the levels is not always easy; you'll need to sharpen both your combat and puzzle-solving skills.There's also a lot of replay value owing to the oftentimes diabolically-hidden "secrets," which usually contain caches of weapons and the infamous "medi-paks."

Play this game - it's almost like a cool retro thing to do now - and forget about everything that came after.They have a new TR in the works now but it's got a lot of bad karma to overcome...so far nothing has matched this original masterpiece.

Classic Game
This game entertained me for hours when it first came out oh so many years ago! I was deeply enthralled, and soon my dad became obsessed as well. We would spend hour upon hour playing it! My mom was fine with it, but other jealous mothers would ask her if she wasn't even the least bit worried that Lara was so attractive, and has such big... assets. She was great, alright, but the game was just as fun. Many different levels provide for awesome gameplay. My only complaint is the annoying save crystals. Yeah, those are horrible. But overall it's a really fun game! Better than most of the recent Tomb Raider games, but TR3 is probably my favorite! It's a classic, buy it! You won't regret it. ENJOY!!!!!

The Original Playstation classic
God, it was ages ago when I last played the original "Tomb Raider". The first time I played it, maybe six years ago, I was amazed and frightened. I was frightened because of the very first level. You know, the awry music, dark caves, and vicious bats, wolves and bears. That will always be my first memory of playing "Tomb Raider". Even though it's dated now, it still lives up to its name despite several sequels and dissapointing movies.

What really made this game famous, and made Playstaion fun, was the goddess Lara Croft. She's absolutely gorgeous! You play the adventrous archaeologist in a quest to recover an ancient artifact; Croft travels the world in style, from Peru to Egypt and to the lost city of Atlantis.

I think that's the story for the game. I lost track since I haven't played this game for awhile. But what was original about this game wasn't really Lara's beauty, it was the gameplay. The gamer has to solve complexed puzzles, battle hard enemies(including dinosaurs!) and go through hidden rooms and collect treasures from ancient cities.

There is also a good amount of weapons for Lara, including her trademark dual pistols. There is also some health packs in case she gets hurt, in fact she gets hurt alot! No human being could ever do the things she does! The very physical Lara jumps impossible feats, does handstands and survives in very dangerous situations. She's a female Indiana Jones!

Anyway, "Tomb Raider" is an entertaining game. It has good graphics, solid gameplay, and Lara Croft is hot! But the "Tomb Raider" series has lost track of its self. The gameplay is all ready becoming old, and its lack of innovation hasn't made gamers happy. Including myself. Only part 2 is the best sequel. But the original game that made Lara Croft famous is a must own game for every classic game collection. ... Read more

The best "Tomb Raider" game!
Even though the first "Tomb Raider" was good, the second one is even better! I absolutely love "Tomb Raider 2"! Everything is much better then the first one. There's improved graphics, better locales, more weapons and enemies and awesome vechicles.
It was a blast to play! In fact, it's the only "Tomb Raider"(along with the original) game I fully enjoyed playing, and it's the only one I beat in the series.

Your beautiful Lara Croft, who travels around the globe, including China, Venice, a sunken ship, the Tibetian mountains and a Dragon lair, to retreive and find out about an ancient prized possesion called the Dagger of Xion.

Lara looks way better then the first one. She's better "developed" and her new moves are great. I also found there's more human enemies then in the first one, making Lara feel like an gunman then an archaelogist. But that's ok, since I really liked the locales. Out of all the breaktaking locations here in this game, I liked Venice the best, there you could drive boats, trapple gondolas, and kill many assassins. Along with the boats, you can ride a snowmobile!

I liked the characters and enemies in this game. You can encounter monks, yetis, sharks, as well as the ultimate foe, a gigantic, fire-breathing dragon, which appears at the end of the game. What a climax! I also liked the very last level, "Home Sweet Home" where you battle foes at Lara's mansion. There's also the usual challenging puzzles to solve, things to find.

Even though it's an old game, "Tomb Raider 2" is action-packed entertainment and the best entry in the series. You'll enjoy it to the last minute! I know I did!

the best ever!!!!!!!!!
when i first played tomb raider at my friends house i loved it so when the second one came out i had to buy it ive played all of the tomb raider games but so far this is the best you couldnt ask for a better game sure the controls [are bad] but in the hours u put into this game they wont bother you anymore. if u want a great game then buy this.

The Rare Case Where A Sequal Stomps an Original
From the Great Wall of China to the canals of Venice, Tomb Raider II is the rare case in which a sequel is better than an original. In fact, I find this game to be my favorite of the series. In it the legendary Lara Croft sets out to find the Dagger of Xion. In her quest she navigates the globe, and even takes a couple of trips to strange and magical new worlds.

Tomb Raider II offers significant improvements over the original, and its game play exceeds the other games that follow in the series. The game has drastically overhauled weapons and artificial intelligence. Though the puzzles are not as hard as later versions, they still are quite difficult. Lara has new moves, many new weapons, and more dangerous foes. What more could a Tomb Raider fan - or even the casual gamer - ask for?

I highly recommend this game, whether you are an avid Tomb Raider fan or somebody new to the series. I don't believe you will be disappointed - in fact, you will probably find many hours of action filled entertainment. And if you do enjoy it, I strongly recommend other games in this series. ...

Editorial Review

She's back! Action heroine Lara Croft returns in this impressive action adventure game from Eidos. Once again, the world's most famous "grrrl gamer" must jump, swim, climb, and shoot her way through numerous challenges. There are five locations and 15 massive levels to explore, including the South Pacific, India, London, Antarctica, and Area 51.Unlike previous games in the series, this version lets you visit any of the gaming areas in any order that you prefer. This change enables beginning players to immediately appreciate the diverse gaming environments and designs of different levels that have captivated advanced gamers for the duration of the popular series.

Unlike most action shooting games, Tomb Raider III requires a heavy dose of puzzle solving. In fact, fast reflexes and shooting skills are probably less important than your ability to figure out the best way to unlock the secrets that will advance your entry into new and hidden areas. With clever gameplay and eye-opening 3-D graphics, the third entry in the Tomb Raider series significantly advances the quality of one of the strongest franchises in the history of video games. --Brett Atwood

The worst one in thewhole series.
I love the tomb raider series,except for this one!!!!! It's way to hard and it won't let you save unless you find a save crystle. After that, I switched to the pc vesion which has unlimited saves but there is only one problem...IT'S TO OLD FOR WINDOWS XP!!So buy at own risk but if you want to play it and you have an old computer I recommend the pc version.

TOO HARD
Tomb Raider 3 was by far the most difficult Tomb Raider I have ever played. I'll admit, I used every cheat in the book in order to beat the game. But can you really blame me?

The game first starts off with an incredibly difficult jungle level, in which you have the option of finding a few secrets and then beginning the level, but regardless, you'll be jumping to a slope and then jumping over a set of spikes, and then (surprise!) jumping over another set of spikes, and finally landing at the bottom with a save crystal and a bunch of different directions to go. Don't go into the sinking sand and watch out for anything that looks dangerous because chances are, it'll be the last dangerous think you look at.

Finally, after a period of a week to a year, you've finally beat the jungle levels... WITHOUT CHEATS! Well I bet you were quite tempted! Now choose your destination. The strategy guides all tell you to go to the Nevada Desert, and then to the South Pacific, and then London. If you watch the entire "Story So far..." feature, you'll notice that the game plays the scenes with South Pacific first and Nevada Desert last. So nobody cares what order you do it in, it doesn't matter much. And believe me; you WILL get frustrated either way, so go to the one you want to go to first because it will take you FOREVER to finish that section of levels.

Finally, after God-knows-how-long, you finished the whole globe, and get this; you did it ALL WITHOUT CHEAT CODES! I congratulate you. NOW WE GET TO GO TO ANTARTICA!!!

Yippee.

Antarctica is incredibly difficult, and it ends with a big, mumbo-jumbo mother-of-all-spiders human-headed thing. Oh, and one shot with the rocket launcher just won't kill it! And one thing to keep on mind, one-hit K.O. As in, if it hits you once, it will kill you. Good luck!

But in spite of all of that, I really enjoyed seeing Lara in new costumes and playing in her new house. It was a lot of fun to get the racetrack key and find the shortcut at the racetrack. I must say, I really did enjoy Tomb Raider 3.

If you like challenges, then Tomb Raider 3 is definitely for you. And regardless, the Mansion is definitely worth the 5 dollars that Tomb Raider 3 now cost at Game Crazy. But, if you're anything like me and do not enjoy getting so frustrated over a horribly pixilated British woman in a jungle tomb, then get ready to memorize "L2, R2, L2(2), R2, L2, R2, L2, R2, L2(4), R2, L2, R2(4), L2" if you want to beat this game!

What were they thinking?!
I must agree with many of the other reviewers in that this is by far THE worst game in the Tomb Raider series. I beat this game a long time ago, but I have been bored lately so I dug it up and started to play again. My opinion has not changed since I labored through it the first time. I would never have even finished it the first time except that I thought it MIGHT get better (or even slightly fun) as the game went on. Nope.

Now, don't get me wrong. I am a huge fan of the whole Tomb Raider extravaganza; it's an excellent and clever collection. But I was disappointed so much in this one that it almost killed my interest to continue on with the later games in the series.

First of all, the levels are unstimulating and repetitive. I hated the levels in India and the South Pacific Islands so much that I purposely killed myself off a few times just to get the frustration out. As a general rule, I think just one nature-based level should be allowed for Lara; they both were so damn similar and I got tired of killing lizards and monkeys.

Then, for someone who loves a good puzzle, the puzzles in this were just ridiculous. I had to buy the strategy guide just to find my way around the confusing dead-ends (and 'dead' I mean literally). And by the way, the strategy guide was misleading and seemed like it didn't even go with the right level at times.

Also, some of the stunts and moves that Lara has to make to reach intricate points in the game are so precise that you have to save your game before even ATTEMPTING them...or say hello to some huge backtracking or unsightly death. But oh wait...you can't save your game anytime you want. You must have the beloved save crystals! Too bad I'm always reluctant to use them in fear that I might need them for something more important than jumping to a tree limb.

I gave this game two stars for two reasons. The first being that Lara has some new moves---crawling, monkey-swinging sprinting, etc---and those were quite nifty at times (unless I was about ready to gnaw my own hands off from everything else). The second reason would have to be that I liked some of her unusual foes---the creepy Shivas, in particular.

But that was about it, my friends. And those few joys did not hold up well against everything else. I recommend TR2 above any and all other TR games. Even without some of the fancy schmancy moves and scenery, it never fails to impress or enthrall. I mean, how can you top the Barkhang Monastery? Give me a good monk any day. ... Read more

Spyro The Dragon
Average Customer Review:
CD-ROM (27 March, 2000)
list price: $19.99
US | Canada | United Kingdom | Germany | France

Editorial Review

Spyro is a cute purple dragon in a bit of a pickle. Each of Spyro's dragon friends has fallen victim to the nefarious Gnasty Gnorc, who has turned them into crystals. Accompanied by Sparx the dragonfly, Spyro sets out to free his buddies, while collecting gems and dragon eggs. Sparx also serves as Spyro's health-o-meter, glowing gold when Spyro is healthy and turning dusky green as he tires. To boost his energy, Spryo can blast docile creatures with fire, turning them into butterflies, which Sparx transforms into much-needed fuel.

This title has bright graphics in six well-developed worlds, each with several subworlds, including bogs, deserts, and ice worlds. Unlike some action games, in Spyro the Dragon the enemies are more fun than frightening. In the Peace Keepers world, for example, Spyro must burn down the monster soldiers' tent, sending one of the minions running out, quaking with fear or, if you're lucky, dropping his drawers and shooting a moon.

Spyro's movements (fire breathing, gliding, jumping, and climbing) require entry-level gaming skills. For this reason, Spyro the Dragon is an excellent title for youngsters or less experienced players, who want to play without having to master complex movement combinations. --Kasty Thomas

Pros:

• Large worlds provide hours of game playing
• Variety of scenarios
• Engaging graphics

Cons:

• Low game skill requirements may prove less challenging for expert players

Editorial Review

The feisty little adolescent dragon is back in a sequel that is far superior to theoriginal. Both Spyro fans and those who didn't play the first game will revel in theexploratory greatness that is Spyro: Ripto's Rage. Gone are the impossible tasks,unbeatable enemies, and fragmented game flow. This game sports superior controls, morecolorful and faster graphics, a tighter story, achievable goals, and plenty of gameplayvariety.

Don't be fooled by Spyro's cuteness--this isn't a kid's-only game. With multiple goalsand side quests, a fantastic soundtrack by ex-Police band member Stewart Copeland, anda veneer of understated humor, Spyro: Ripto's Rage is highly addictive. Theplayfulness of the main character comes through in the exploration of the otherworldlylevels using the new moves, including super high jumps, rapid underwater swimming,and extended flight and hovering maneuvers.

Determined explorers are always rewarded--sometimes with an ice hockey match or othersub-game, sometimes with riches enough to learn a new move or uncover a new area.Simply put, Spyro: Ripto's Rageis one of the best action/adventure games for thesystem. Despite the fact that this game is a sequel, it manages to bring a fresh new lookand feel to PlayStation gaming. --Jeff Young

Pros:

• Massive, fun levels are completely navigable
• Cute and quirky sense of humor will appeal to all ages
• Responsive controls are an extension of Spyro's upbeat and exacting personality

Cons:

• Camera angles can be problematic, but are completely adjustable

SPYRO ROCKS!
I have all the Spyro PS1 games and they rock! The best PS1 games you can buy.
I have Gateway To Glimmer instead of Ripto's Rage though, but they are exactly the same but with diff names and covers.
All the worlds rock, and it's nice to see more friends to help Spyro on his way to beat Ripto- and when you finally beat him, the game still isn't over! How cool? There are many skill points to earn,a amazing new level- the cool Dragon Shores, and a permanent fireball!!
If you have a PS1, you have to play this game!

Spyro!
Spyro fun aholoic sweet game!!! Very fun but not hard, it can be very very easy but it is alot of tottaly wicked fun!

Great, but not Insomniac's Best
I was a little bit disappointed with this Spyro.Don't get me wrong, it's an awesome game, but Insomniac could've put a little more effort into it.With only three worlds and about twenty-one levels, this game may only be for true Spyro fans, but, I strongly encourage you to buy this game. ...

Spyro is back for his third PlayStation adventure. Jump down the rabbithole to recover all the eggs stolen from Dragon World by the evil sorceressand her henchmen. The cartoonish look, the goofy sounds, and thescavenger-hunt gameplay will be familiar to anyone who has adventured withSpyro before. New to the series is the ability to play as Sheila, thekangaroo; Sergeant Byrd, the flying penguin; Bentley, the Yeti; and Agent 9,the space monkey. In Year of the Dragon, Spyro still has all of hissignature moves--as well as the special moves he learned in Spyro theDragon 2--and can control such vehicles as tanks, submarines, andspeedboats. There are over 30 levels in which to recover 150 eggs andseveral minigames that complement the standard gameplay, includingboxing and skateboarding. ... Read more

PERFECT!
I am a die-hard Spyro fan who is really into role-playing games. This is probably the best and I mean the BEST game ever made for the Playstation 1! It has wonderful senery and neat new characters.But listen to me and listen to me well, If you want to buy this game, you must buy the GREATEST HITS version with a bright green bar where it says Playstation. If you don't there is a bug on a speedway level which prevents you from completing the game. I suggest that you get it at a retail store to be sure that you get the right one.

Gr8!
I playd this game at a friends house and it is brill. Try it for yourself!
