The Yak Shack Forum

Well I have just started playing the new TR and I love it  ;D  They really have learnt their lessons from the last one and it seems to be back to the old style of puzzles, shooting and tomb raiding  ;D

Oh and for anyone looking for spoilers I don't have any at the moment but was sort of hoping the title might tease some out of another Shacker  :rofl:

Let me know what you think - I have just finished Tokyo (I think it was Tokyo anyway - my geography is appalling  ;) )

I like it a lot to. I am playing on a 360 so the graphics are pretty top notch. It is definetly a step (or even a whole flight of steps) up from some of the other Raider games.

It is a little short, and there are still some camera issues, but all in all a superb game for sure.

Oh, and I just beat Africa.

I've just finished Tomb Raider Legend on the XBrick 360 in a little over 10hrs (including the unlevel Croft manor). :'(

Although it was Very Short, I thoroughly enjoyed it a true return to form.
  :o= I can only hope they make it longer next time, There is only so long you can spend replaying the levels looking for artifacts.

So if I can help in any way, I'd be happy to help.

You may regret saying that  :rofl:  I am terrible at games but I will have a go first - then I will bug you relentlessly to help me solve that rotten riddle about the mantle piece in Croft Manor  :rofl:

Oh cool!  I totally forgot this was out!  And I have a Best Buy gift card burning a hole in my pocket.  ;D 

Take pity on that poor pocket and go for it  ;D

Oh I love that quote button  ;D  I think this is a record for me, I have had a game for nearly two weeks and haven't asked for help yet.  Well that is all about to change .........

I am in an industrial building at the North Pole, at least I think it is the North Pole, there is lots of snow and it is very cold  ;).  I have just met up with Amanda and she has set the beast on me.  I have set the experiment running and then ...... I die  >:D Every rotten time  >:()   So if some kind Shacker could take pity on me and tell me how to defeat the many legged beasty I would be so grateful  ;D

Go on, you know you want to put me out of my misery, just click the PM button and save a frustrated Tomb Raider  ;D ;D  Thanks  ;D ;D

Update

A gazillion thank yous to Marty and Bryan.  I don't know if I can do it, but at least I now know what I am supposed to do  ;D 

Ryan just started playing this.  He decided to do the croft manor first but is missing one silver medal somewhere....  He likes to find everything.  Oh well, I keep telling him to move on so I can see more :)

If you ever need some help just shout, I only need one medal to complete it so I should be able to help on most matters.

Have resisted so far but I've been told there's a walkthrough on ign.com somewhere.

PS enjoy every second you can it's not a long game!!

It is for some of us  :(.  I still can't kill the Hydra  >:().  I manage to get three out of the four cages to crash down on his head but he keeps avoiding the fourth  >:().  Oh well back to replaying Kingdom Hearts - roll on September when KH2 is realised here  ;D

Come on Sharon!

How come you can do three but not the fourth ???

If your low on health restart the level it'll be easier now you know whats coming

:rofl: I can't do the fourth cos I am useless at games  :rofl:.  My health is pretty well, healthy.  Is there a particular order to do them in?  I have been trying to do the ones at the end of the pier first as this is where I am most likely to get smacked by the beastie.  Oh dear I hope this is the worst bit of the game  :-\.  I have, however, managed to get everything from Croft Manor  ;D.  I am not too bad when there is no one either shooting at me or trying to swallow me whole  (:D# :rofl:

Personally I did find this the hardest bit of the game

The trick I used for doing the pier bits was to ring a near by bell and run to the end
then backing off away from the end if he didn't quickly become transfixed with the nice music I was making for him, get outta there back to dry land and when he comes over make another try

long winded, yes!  :rofl:
But I think the idea is to keep moving

Well this particular beastie is now no more  ;D.  It is so weird, I couldn't hit it to save my life (literally) last week but I had another go yesterday and it was an ex-beastie straight away.  But then the huge disappointment - the game was over  :'(.  OK one more baddie but then that was it, I was so surprised.  Now I see what you meant when you said it was a short game.

I think I have been a bit spoilt as the only other game I have played so far (start to finish) was Kingdom Hearts and that lasted for ages.  I just sort of thought all the games were like that.  But I really did enjoy this Tomb Raider and just hope they make the next one the same way, just longer  ;)

My husband is playing this right now, and I can not believe it says he is 50% done already!!!  I hope they make the next one much longer.
