Replay – Tomb Raider II
Crystal Dynamics' forthcoming Rise of the Tomb Raider is featured on Game Informer's cover this month, so we thought we'd take a look back at Lara Croft's first sequel, Tomb Raider II. For those of you who didn't grow up in the PlayStation era of games, Lara's original adventures didn't unfold through cover-based shooting or hunting. She relied mostly on acrobatic leaping to navigate underground caverns and rocky landscapes to uncover long-lost treasures.
If you watched our Replay for the original Tomb Raider title, in which Megan Marie (who now works at Crystal Dynamics) showed us how Tomb Raider should be played, you're about to watch how Tomb Raider shouldn't be played by Tim Turi. To say Tim struggles is an understatement. It takes the entire brain power of Tim, Jeff Cork, Ben Reeves, and me to figure out how to kill a tiger. This is very much a Replay of trial and error.
Our second segment is for you, the fans. You've been asking for a Replay of this game since the show started five years ago, and, well, now that we have cameras, we feel we were able to do the game justice.
We hope you enjoy the show. All feedback is welcome in the comments section below.
