In fact, I purchased like 3 different video cards for my PC because they claimed the best look and performance. In the first minutes of playing I loved the emptiness of the place, like a real ruin is and controlling Lara was easy, I never had an issue with controls and you really need to be precise, but the timing is in your thumbs, any mistake is yours.Īll the architecture was pretty impressive and had impressive detail for the time, the water played a role that few games at the time gave the importance to that factor and overall the level design was brilliant.
I have always liked adventure games and exploring is pretty much "my thing" in real life I love to visit small towns, ruins and every place that is not populated. I remember quite well the year that TOMB RAIDER hit the shelves, I played it fist on my PC and absolutely loved the gameplay. I understand it was innovative because it had a female protagonist with big assets and was one of the early 3d platform games, but I still don't think that makes it a good game. I'm just curious what this forum thinks of the first tomb raider game, nostalgia goggles off. Anyway I picked up tomb raider because it's a classic and it was always highly reviewed by the press at the time.īut my god, framerate problems everywhere, a fixed camera in a 3d platformer, and even if I could tolerate those things, the killer was the unresponsive controls. I'll preface this by saying there is almost never a game so terrible that I will stop playing it. It was annoying then and if I were to play the game now for my very first time, there's no way I would even make it through the first level. You tap forward and she would move half-a-grid, you tap backwards and she would back up half-a-grid. You had to back up 3 or 4 'grids' to get a running start, otherwise you would fall to your death when you attempted to jump and grab a distant platform. You had to make sure you were lined up perfectly, otherwise you would fall to your death when you attempted to jump and grab a platform. Most of the difficulty in solving the puzzles was due to wrestling with the controller and Lara's grid-based movements.
This definitely wasn't it, but the game was large and expansive with plenty to do. I was jealous of Mario 64 and I really wanted to play something along those lines. This was the first truly 3D platformer for the PS1, as far as I can remember. It wasn't because of the female lead or her enormous.guns. Well, back then, I remember being enamored with this game.
