Not sure how they have aged, but it would have been great to have a full overhaul with some recent game engine. My classic games revisiting threshold is quite low. The last game I would have probably tried was Mafia on PC about 7 years ago. Though it was an amazing game, the gameplay felt so painful. 

 

 

Mods definitely help with the ageing part.

You know it's bad when you have to distinguish between old and new Lara Croft.

 

She is among mass marketed female gaming icon. The woman power and sensuality pushed her and that is what she is known for today. She is not known for pushing adventure genre (because she didn't). Yes, the games were good but that's not the point. Just look at the box art of the first game. Even with 540 polygons, they made sure to target bosom because it sells. 
 

An online poll of 300K where people picked Lara Croft as a name for the road over their County football legend Bloomer, the astronomer Flamsteed and the engineer Sorocold. 

 

People who voted probably don't even know those, so Lara Croft won. 

 

 

Not really, no. Just don't see how Lara Croft is a well-written character. Good old games. Not a good written character. 

 

Change the gender and people won't even remember the character. 

 

They did change the gender and named his Nathan Drake but still people have never forgotten  Lara. 

 

TBH i still like new Lara but everything else about the whole new TR series is sh*t for me. 

 

The old game was not just a good game.... Lara had  a perfect attitude , boldness , style , body language to live up to pull that game alone.   Her adventures are still regarded as one of the great adventure games series ever. I remember reading a youtube comment a long time back and someone posted that he cried when he listened to the OST because he remembered those days when he would sit with his father and solve those puzzles ....scale those ancient monuments...fight those monsters .....survive those traps.........The TR series back then  was as close as adventure game can ever get and Lara was perfect for that role.

He's absolutely right on the aiming part of the gameplay on consoles. I instantly switched to the PC version as the accuracy on consoles was shite compared to the 360 version. 

 

The game was amazing, raw & brutal. The voice acting along with the soundtrack was just perfect. I never got a chance to try the first 2 games, so for me this was like a brand new entry altogether.
