Ashers94 Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 Hey, I've seen it for quite a cheap price (£13) and it seems pretty reasonable for 3 games but I've never played tomb raider or uncharted. I love fast-paced, action games so can you guys tell me: A) Will I enjoy the three games? B) How many hours of gameplay will I get in total if I get every trophy? The reason I'm asking is I see some mixed reviews. Thank you. All help is appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vegetollo7 Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 I actually picked this up for cheap as well. Unfortunately I haven't played it yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blevensp1 Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 The games are good for the price. You can get over 20 hours with each game. Tomb Raider games are not fast-paced though. Not as good as Uncharted in my opinion. I enjoyed Legend the best, it has the most action. http://www.yourgamercards.net/trophy/a/blevensp.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PipNic Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 definitely good fun for the price Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CompSci88 Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 Definitely worth it. Tomb Raider is the best adventure series out there. It's much better than Uncharted in my opinion. I never bothered with U3 after playing U1&2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashers94 Posted April 8, 2012 Author Share Posted April 8, 2012 Okay cool thanks guys! I'll probably get it after beating my current games. Thanks a lot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pa0l06921 Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 i picked this up on the cheap and i have to say i thoroughly enjoyed them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.HelmutMarko Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Yeah, I always find it hard to put a time scale on a lifespan of a game. But if you love Tomb Raider, then you will love these. Personally I thought Legend was poor and Anniversary and Underworld were great. if you are blessed with a HD telly then it makes the experience much better aswell.

Clothier Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Just picked it up in between shifts today, giving it a shot, got it cheap as well $23 (AUD). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattyElms Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 (edited) Tomb Raider games are amazing, Anniversary is the best for the puzzles and seems alot bigger than the others, but my favourite is Legend mainly because the music is so awsome it makes it feel epic, i love the soundtrack from the nepal level . I thought Underworld was good aswell but alot of people say they didn't like that one. Edited May 30, 2012 by MattyElms Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zzamaro Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 Yes, I think it's worth it. But I think playing them all together is a bad idea . I mean, once you are done with one of these, play a different game and once you beat that other game, get back to another of the tomb raider games, an so on. It's what I did because I think it could get really boring if you play too much tomb raider haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jez Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 I wonder if the trophies are the same in TR Underworld and TR Underworld HD? But definitely for this price the package is awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sadistboy Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 I just rented the trilogy, so I can't say what price is a bargain or not, but I enjoyed all three games quite a bit, so I say yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LambzGoHard Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Definitely worth it! I had already completed and platinumed Underworld before the Trilogy was released but i really liked Underworld and hadn't played the others so i bought the trilogy. I'm only getting round to them now and i've just completed Legend and enjoyed it so much! To the poster above, i'm completed Legend and i'm playing Anniversary back to back and i'm not bored at all! I'm just starting the Lost Island! Deinitely worth, only playing them now makes me really feellike i've missed out! The new Tomb Raider is what really got me playing them in anticipation for when i get the new game! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yeahitsjordynbro Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 Agreed ~ But my favourite is Anniversary (Lara's coolest outfit IMO) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emiliathesage Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 Yes, the trilogy is worth buying. It has no online trophies or time consuming ones so I'm sure can plat each game in less than 50 hours. I like Lara Croft wearing shorts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naps Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 (edited) Tomb Raider games are amazing... I thought Underworld was good as well but a lot of people say they didn't like that one. What? Didn't they enjoy watching a "swimsuited" Lara Croft "climb the columns" in Yggdrasil? I'm playing Legend at the moment (England), finished Underworld last year as a stand alone game and I think the graphics were better for obvious reasons. I like them all despite this "batch" in the series being my first TR games I've played. After this, I'm going for the TR reboot! ---- Just glad that Anniversary is getting good reviews in here as I am afraid that it will be the longest one I'll be playing for being the "hardest of the three"... this is encouraging, I'm gonna hit it right after platting Legend Edited May 18, 2013 by Naps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyp3r Duck Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 I cant wait to play these games again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naps Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 (edited) Went back into working on the last two trophies in Anniversary - the time trial (TT) on Greece and Egypt. I just nailed the Lost Island TTs and if not for the clunky controls and stubborn "camera" things wouldn't be so hard. I've decided to go for the Lost Island before the others (suggested by the guide) as I got stuck in Midas' Palace with all those gorillas and lions hell bent on stopping you on your tracks. The golden shotgun (one shot kill) should be really helpful in getting these done. The max retries I had were about 5-6 and I shamefully have to admit wanting to smash the telly at every failure. It can be so frustrating (and stressful) at times when you seem to have a Lara Croft who's either too stubborn or deaf! Kidding aside, the controls in Legend and Anniversary are so "primitive", and Underworld seems to be the only one among the three with "polished" and responsive controls. Nonetheless, clunky controls or not - this game is a must have for any Tomb Raider fan. But I would have to agree with zzamaro on taking a break in between TR games. My reason though would be more of giving your mind a rest from all the "anger" (and stress) that may come out of the experience playing this game - rather than boredom. All "campaign" games are superb, it's just the time trials you have to watch out for particularly Anniversary. It's the longest of the three and it will definitely test your patience... well actually it's more like draining it than just testing!

Naps Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 (edited) Just one more to go: Sanctuary of Scion. I hope this one isn't a bitch like the Obelisk of Khamoon! I read somewhere in the forum that quite a few players struggle at this level (they were right about that). I seemingly ended up having tourettes (once again) while playing this freakin' level. It's so unresponsive and stubborn when you know for sure you're pressing the right buttons. Who would have thought that tap and hold-press have different effects (the difference between a restart and a successful run). I had about 10-13 retries/restarts for slightly missing out on taps and timing. This level is undoubtedly doable... BUT heck it's a major migraine in the making. I've also noticed that the video walkthroughs on YouTube are mostly PC versions. Which drives me to the conclusion that the controls on the PC are probably more responsive compared to its console counterparts (particularly the PS3)... Just sharing which part of the level may be a bit problematic. Whoever did this video by the way is relentless and somewhat flawless! [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uHLx4dns0Uw]TRA - Obelisk of Khamoon 8:55 - YouTube[/ame] 1:09-1:11: The jump from here is "moody", as even Stella (of the TR walkthrough website) cautions you about this. Sometimes you'll nail it, and most of the time Lara seemingly has sticky armpits and refuses to reach out for the ledge! Comedy, I know right! At this point, it's better to do a restart if you managed to fall over twice. Probably save yourself about a minute or so if you just start over. 1:47-1:48.5: Sometimes, no matter how you correctly tap hold-press (combo) you end up with a sticky-armpit Lara again! 1:53-1:56: Good if you landed this on the first try. I found out that a tap on and immediately hold-press works best here after the grapple swing 2:38-3:15: For obvious and practical reasons, falling down to the mote means a restart. 4:08-4:12: Holy shit THAT was a shortcut! Didn't know about that! You'd probably save about 10-12 seconds here! So yeah, there you go! 4:33-4:39: For me was tricky as Lara would not turn at 4:36 to get the second grapple-swing. In the PS3 (at least for me) the camera view would stick on Lara's head, so I had to adjust the view to see her whole body from an above angle before doing the vault. It worked for me. 5:08: This makes commons sense as you end up nearest to the ladder. I did the method featured in the guide's video (jumping off on the right side) which means I would have to waste a few seconds swimming and running just to reach the ladder. Saves about 4 seconds if you do the 5:08... 6:06-6:08: This shortcut is important, though not unknown. At 6:33, I probably had about 6 minutes (plus) to spare - well I made mistakes quite a few times BUT this is just enough to get you through the end... for as long as you do not commit errors. My advice, you've come this far so don't rush unnecessarily and time your jumps perfectly. I'd rather lose 2-3 seconds from waiting than 8-10 seconds to load up a checkpoint. 6:43-6:50: The return trip is somewhat trickier than the first time. The 6:49 ledge-grab can be moody at times. I remember missing it despite a good tap hold-press combo. After taking the 4 (artifact) keys and jumping off the mote, you must have at least 2:00 minutes in spare time to beat the time trials. It is absolutely important to have the Golden Shotgun (one shot) from the beginning, so starting the Lost Island time trials first would be best (as suggested by the guide). Think of all the hassle you'd have to put up with the lions, panthers, crocs, mummies, centurion (guardians), gorillas and those annoying little rats that come along the way. The Obelisk of Khamoon may be the most challenging part on your way to the platinum... though others say it's St. Francis Folley... Nevertheless, I hope somehow this helps...

jfrl1991 Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 I got my 3 plats for these games and I can say it's worth. They are cool games with a nice story and puzzles. The only thing that bothers me a lot is the camera in these 3 games. Besides that, the trilogy is very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PersonalHolloway Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 I would recommend it! Tomb raider is a great game serie and this collection is definitely worth buying! I've played through Anniversary and Legend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
