It has long been the fantasy of many teenaged gamers to get their hands on video gaming goddess Lara Croft. Now they'll get their chance--well, sort of--with the Game Boy Color version. The action-adventure game Tomb Raider has finally arrived on the pocket-sized system-though without the 3-D environments and heroine.
Anyone who has played Tomb Raider on both the PlayStation and the Dreamcast must have met the news that it was to be released on Game Boy Color with more than a small degree of scepticism. However, though the result loses the 3-D effects and high graphical impact of the original, the game is surprisingly good.
The graphics are probably the best to date on a Game Boy, and the cut scenes are very good. The side-scrolling format works well, making the game more accessible for younger gamers. The overall standard of gameplay is fairly high, and while the controls can be difficult to master at first, they get easier with practice. Though some elements of the original are sacrificed, the puzzle elements and variety within the game more than make up for the loss.
If you are already a Tomb Raider fan, then this should appeal, providing you accept the limitations of a hand-held console and don't expect an exact replication of the Dreamcast or PlayStation version. For younger gamers who find the originals inaccessible, this is a good place to get acquainted with Lara Croft. Moreover, it's a great way to fill the hours on long journeys.
