Tomb Raider Collection 2 

 

I had some fun and plenty of frustration live streaming Tomb Raider Collection 2 on our Twitch channel. There are two games that are on this giga cartridge. The two games on Tomb Raider Collection 2 are Tomb Raider the Last Revelation, and Tomb Raider Chronicles. There is also a secret special bonus level from Tomb Raider The Last Revelation included on the Tomb Raider Collection 2 cartridge.

The issues families can have with Tomb Raider Collection 2 are violence, blood, bad language, lack of attire, enticement to lust, false gods, and more. My biggest issue and my biggest problem with Tomb Raider Collection 2 are the controls. The controls are clunky and they lag at times. I had more issues getting through small spots of the tutorials. Plus I would miss a jump and have to do it all over again.

I love how Tomb Raider Collection 2 would tell me to use the action button. Thing is I had to keep trying to remember what the action button was. There are also nuances to Tomb Raider Collection 2 like trying to get the rope to swing. Laura kept climbing up and down instead of moving the rope. Press the wrong button and you fall down. Do not get me started on having to be just in the right spot to trigger a switch.

Both of the games on the Tomb Raider Collection 2 cartridge are 32-bit. It can take these games a bit to load on the Evercade. That makes me think the Evercade needs to upgrade their systems to handle these games better. Or bring in more older games. The controls are very aggravating in Tomb Raider Collection 2. I still question how anyone thought these games were amazing back in the day.

I did enjoy showing these video games off on a live stream because it shows how real the struggle actually is. I also applaud Blaze Entertainment for releasing video games like the Tomb Raider Collection 2. The story telling in these games are what is probably brings more gamers back to them. For me it is just another example of gaming media propping something up and ignoring its flaws. Maybe they were friends with company executives and scratched one another backs so they could both because millionaires.
