Discs may have stickers or markings.Amazon.com Lara Croft makes her Dreamcast debut in Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation, a must-have title for fans of the busty heroine's PlayStation exploits. Featuring high-resolution graphics that rival those of the PC version, this visual masterpiece sports a "fleshed-out" Lara in addition to lighting and water effects that make its 3-D environments seem all the more realistic. Beneath the surface, Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation is pretty much the same old Tomb Raider action-adventure formula, with gameplay consisting of exploration, combat, and puzzle solving. (Which is not necessarily a bad thing, as most Tomb Raider fans just can't seem to get enough.) However, gamers do get to play as "young" Lara Croft for the first time, and the gallery mode rewards players with pictures of Lara as they progress through the game. Unfortunately, advancing in Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation can be quite frustrating at times, as the controls--which utilize all the functions of the Dreamcast controller--are not only awkward, but also lack the responsiveness that some of the game's challenges require. --Joe HonPros: Enhanced graphics rival those of the PC version Ability to play as young Lara Croft Gallery feature a definite plus for fans Cons: Poor controls Product description According to Egyptian legend, Horus, son of the light, outwitted the evil God Set and imprisoned him in a secret tomb. Five thousand years later, Lara Croft discovers the lost tomb and unwittingly unleashes the evil God Set, fulfilling the ancient prophecy of his return to plunge mankind into darkness! In a race against time, Lara must use all her wit and skill to reimprison Set and save the world from Armageddon. Pursued at every turn by her arch-rival, the unscrupulous archaeologist Werner Von Croy, Lara embarks on a journey of discovery across Egypt, where she must overcome the most ingenious puzzles and infernal traps ever devised, and face terrifying evil from beyond the grave...With more twists and turns than an Egyptian labyrinth, this is heart stopping action-adventure; a Tomb Raider that truly offers...The Last Revelation. Review It's been almost four years since Lara Croft brought her boogie shoes to a Sega console, due to an exclusivity contract Sony had forged with Eidos. When the Tomb Raider franchise first reared its Indiana Jones-inspired head, Core was developing it for the Sega Saturn. Halfway through development, it was announced that the game would also come to the PlayStation, in improved form no less. After the original Tomb Raider made its debut on the Saturn, Tomb Raider swiftly disappeared from Sega's library for what seemed like eons. During that time, Eidos has raped and pillaged the TR license for all it's been worth, releasing two console sequels and numerous PC and Mac iterations. Well, another year, another Tomb Raider sequel, and Eidos has released the series' fourth official game, titled Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation for the PlayStation, the PC, and now for the Dreamcast. After four long years, Lara is back in Sega's arms. However, is this a sincere attempt to support Sega's flagship system, or is it a cheap cash-in on a PC port designed to make quick bucks at the expense of Dreamcast owners? With each of the first three Tomb Raider episodes, released one year after another, there were incremental improvements (some would call them innovations) added to entice gamers to come back. But who's kidding who? The reason most gamers came back, aside from a secret archaeological desire to spelunk, was to lead buxom Lara through a never-ending series of catacombs and labyrinths. That's not to detract from the often near-genius level design, displayed in abundance in the seminal "part two." Unfortunately, Eidos is all too well aware of its greatest asset, but now that we've progressed beyond the difficult part one, the deviously designed part two, and the more-of-the-same-but-look-at-Lara's-two-new-moves part three
