The fact that the exact same things happened to a colleague made us feel slightly less idiotic, but even so, it highlights the fact that there's a fine line between forgiving game design and being frustrated to death by the lack of signposting (that appears in every other instance in the entire game) and presence of numerous red herrings (which haven't appeared anywhere else). And then the same thing happens in the next room, and then the easy-as-pie boss stumps you for the same reason. Something so simple that you feel shame-faced with stupidity. Something you swear you tried the very first time you arrived in the room. And then, almost by accident, you'll do something that works. Suddenly you'll be running around wondering what the hell you're meant to do.
GAMES LIKE TOMB RAIDER LEGEND FULL
Levels suddenly seem chock full of red herrings.
Swimming's barely featured in Legend, but it's a nice trip down memory lane when you do.īut as much as we've laboured the point at how straightforward and easy Tomb Raider Legend is, there are a few memorable moments (towards the end) where it feels like the team completely neglected to adopt the same 'always make it fun' mentality. But the various other unlockables (like costumes, art, pistol upgrades, cheats and the like) are pretty underwhelming compared to, for example, games like Resident Evil 4, and at the end of it, you'll wonder exactly why you spent so much time scooping up all those hard-to-reach artefacts. Fair enough, there's the Time Trial mode (which is nothing more than the same level again, against the clock), and the temptation of earning more achievement points through completing these (on the 360, at least), or via the Hard Mode.
If you do, though, don't expect an awful lot in the replayability stakes.
