About this product

Product Information

Players take on the role of Lara Croft, an explorer who is always up for any adventure that involves finding rare artifacts. This time Lara has been hired to locate and retrieve the three pieces of the Scion. From a third-person perspective players will explore 15 levels spread out over four areas of the world: Peru, Greece, Egypt, and Atlantis. Each level features secrets, puzzles, and enemies to combat.<br><br>Lara begins the game with two pistols but throughout the adventure many new weapons can be found, such as a shotgun and an uzi. Weapons have limited ammunition so players must always be on the lookout for more. At the end of every level Tomb Raider displays how long it took to complete and the number of secrets found.

Tomb Raider for the Saturn is good for one reason... the Saturn's D-Pad
Some people say they can't fathom playing this on the Saturn's D-Pad, myself, I say I cannot fathom playing this on a PlayStation D-Pad. The Saturn's D-Pad is hard to explain, it's not a common type of D-Pad but it works in a way that acts like an 8-way D-Pad. It makes this game quite playable. The PSX "D-pad" is just four really tough buttons arranged in cardinal directions, by my terms. That said, this version of the game seems... unfinished. The performance is strange. It never becomes unplayable due to bad frame-rates, that said, the frame-rate is not great. This is not a game that requires much in the way of responsiveness however: Lara Croft is as clunky to control in this game as she is in any version of the original Tomb Raider. For example if you hit the "Jump" button while Lara is running, Lara will wait until the next step hits the ground to jump. So that means you often have 10-20 frames delay before Lara actually jumps, and if you hit the button too late in the run cycle, Lara does not jump (and will likely run off a cliff to her death). This is the case in any version of Tomb Raider. Someone mentioned "hand stands"? Advanced movement? All you can do in the original Tomb Raider is: Jump, cliff-hang, grab, directional jump, walk, run, freelook, and reverse-roll (roll button also does a 180, useful for combat). It's a fun game though. Slow, methodical platforming and simple puzzle-solving with light action elements. My first time playing this has been on a real MK-8000A Saturn.

Tomb Raider is a defining game of the 32-bit era in the 1990's.
Tomb Raider was one of the defining games of the 32-bit era in the 1990's and is most often associated with the Playstation. However, the game was actually originally released on the Sega Saturn. Tomb Raider is a solid game overall, but there are many aspects of it that do not hold up. As an early example of a 3D platformer/adventure game, the graphics looks blocky and polygonal compared to modern standards. The game play can often be difficult and controls can be confusing. However, I recommend Tomb Raider because it is an important piece of gaming history and is fairly cheap to buy for the Saturn.

Challenging but compelling
The game was okay but, personally it had varying spikes in difficulty. The game was much easier than tomb raider II, though.
