Tomb Raider angel of darkness

Posted by: garyi on 10 May 2004

Anyone else got this game?

I bought it on a whim and so far its been really shite. I liked the first three tomb raiders but I just can't control this one, its a mess.

Any hints to make it work?

Gary.

No, it's a mess. Everyone says so.

Listen to a record instead.

I have this on PS2, and the controls are awful. You just can't see where you are going because you don't see in her direction. Useless.
It's a good story though, and I intend to finish it. Worth carrying on.

I have it on PS2 also. Really enjoyed the others in the series on the PS1, but this game has been a major let down. Thought it would have been superb on the "superior" PS2 but alas......

My fav game is Tiger Woods 2004. Never plays the same twice.

I was going to buy Angel of Darkness but then read the reviews for it! Instead, I bought the new Prince of Persia game which I really enjoyed.

I got this as a freebie with a new video card. My girls (aged 5 and 8) insisted that I had to play the game with them. I think they like the zat gun that electrocutes the opposition (I have convinced them that it just knocks them out - no point encouraging them to thinks guns are a good thing ;~}

Like most Tomb raider games you need to actually learn from trying all possible ways out of each scenario which one is the right one. For example getting through the churchyard into the underground hideout is a pretty obscure set of sideways jumps, power ups and then moving (the not obvious) statue out of the way.

If you get stuck I don't see any reason why you can't go to a cheats website, but only cheat if you get really stuck as its more satisfying to guess your way out.

Also note: The game gets better as you go through.
