Not that it's really much of a big deal. TR1 back in the day on a keyboard didn't have rumble and it was just fine
True, and I played TR1 on the Saturn which was even more of a nightmare without the extra filters and transparency of the PSX version. Those gimongous pixels were a mess! Moving onto TR2 was a total revelation in terms of visuals on Sony's system.

I've actually never played the first Tomb Raider so all this is new to me. The only TR game I've sat down and really delved into was Tomb Raider 3 which was ridiculously hard, had to use cheats to even get past the first level.

That's awesome. It's funny to think that that model used to make kids beat off and shit. OMG SO HAWT! and all that.
:lol
Great game so far, but I got really frustrated and stuck for like an hour.
On the lost city level; the section from the demo with the waterfall and the cog wheels. After the 2nd wheel and a little more climbing (jump to revolving lever -> rocks part of waterfall -> small cave) there is a lever and you pull it and see a cutscene of in the water directly below opening a gate.
Now I just assumed the final cog was in there and I spent an hour trying->reloading->trying->reloading to jump in the water and swim down and to the left to get into the open gate BUT IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE. Like I said, ONE HOUR; hundreds of retries; and the current was pushing me too hard and when I tried to dive down it get bouncing me back up and I could never get in.
Finally I went back to the cog place and found the real way to finish the level.
Now my question is WTF is that underwater gate about!? I'm guessing it's connected to the hidden artifact in the level, but what the hell are you supposed to be doing with it?

I thought that gate was for the tunnel that took you to that extremely well hidden Small Healthpack.
Oh, unless you mean the one thats actually behind the waterfall. Thats the way to the next area... after you put the third cog in.

Wow, in the UK the PS2 version is £5 more than the PC version. I wonder why PC games are always like £5-20 cheaper than the console equivalents?

PS2 controllers through USB connectors don't rumble
I'm using a PS2 controller and rumble works fine. I'm using this adaptor:

yeah, I found out earlier this week that my Pelican adaptor didnt allow rumble, im pissed that I still need to buy another one.
does anyone know if this one will rumble? http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-71-6m-49-en-70-1hv.html
First off, this game is kick ass. I picked it up yesterday and played it for about 4 hours. Great, great, great pickup. Glad to see my PS2 isn't dead yet.
That being said, when I put this game in pro-scan and widescreen, the screen image all of sudden becomes a lot smaller. Like it's letterboxed AND pillarboxed. Is this happening to anybody else? Any reason why it wouldn't take up the full screen?

Played through the first two levels. I'm really impressed with how good the game looks, never played Legends on ps2 so I don't know how that looked but this is great. SOOOO much nostalgia, lol. Been so long since I played the original, but things are coming back as I go through it.

Ugh, SO tempted to get this today for the weekend. Best Buy has it for 20 bucks! 20 freakin' bucks!
Any issues or complaints? Is anyone playing the game on a PS3?

My autosave data got corrupted and it looked like I was going to have to start all over, but I was able to start a new game then load my regular save from there. Odd.srst said:
Question: Does the game jerk around for anyone else in specific situations. I've seen it happen a few times, usually as Lara is climbing onto a block in a tight space. The camera will kind of fling around to another angle quickly, and Lara will appear to skip a few frames in the climbing motion (it still goes by quickly, so it's not like video lag). Is this happening to other people? Is this an issue with the ol' LCD?

Wow, this game is a total steal at $20. Very polished, and lots of really fun exploration and platforming. I only had time to play through Croft Manor so far and I am already coming up with overly complicated solutions to the puzzles. I'm sure I'll be pulling my hair out by the end of the game.

I'd like rumble.
Seriously, I don't know whether I should pick up the PS2 version for $20 or wait for the supposed 360 version just for the prettier visuals.
Reilly said:I'm almost done. I think I have 2 more chapters. I'm semi-curious as to where the story goes. It will make TRA that much sweeter.
Might as well finish, the final level is kinda interesting....huge and pretty at the least. But not exactly the savior for an all-around dopey sequel.

I had a major bug at the end of Greece:
After the cut scene with those... gods or whatever they are, after you fight the horsey guys, I could run around the battle arena, but it was still locked to me as a battle arena. Couldn't go in the water or up the temple steps. Also, the three gods were hovering in mid air all stuck inside each other. And Pierre's body was flying. And the two shields had moved, and were also flying. It was like this for ages, but after I went to the menu and saved it (in a new slot, obviously) it automatically sent me right to Egypt. Very strange.
TR2 remake wouldn't be too bad. Some great locations in that one, but the snowsled and other assorted vehicles were often more frustrating to the experience than anything.
I personnally gave up on TR3 in disgust about 1 hour in, and never played TR4(which I hear is actually quite good and ties directly in with the original in some ways). So I'd be interested in that, but it won't happen.
TR5 aka Chronicles was decent at best, but extraordinarily buggy and rushed particularly on the DC. Game-breaking bugs all over the place including a massive one near the finale. So infuriating.

Actually, one of my favorite parts in TRL was scaling skyscraper at night. Skyscrapers make for good climbing and look nice
And the museum/show was pretty freaking awesome.
So actually, I guess I don't mind not having ruins at all, as long as the levels look good and are fun to platform through.
Yeah. I know people complain about being out of Tombs, but the Japan level was really fantastic as far as level design goes. Plus lara wore a nice dress.
One thing I've noticed is that TRL is much more linear in design. Not totally....you do often have a "hub area" where you return to for solving a large puzzle (the Ghana water wheel room, for example), but TR1 is almost entirely like that. It's kinda neat.
