For those who have played it before only

Tomb Raider II was great when it came out. I enjoyed it quite a bit back then, and beat it more than once.

Nowadays, its certainly not as good. The graphics are ugly but, more importantly, the controls are not intuitive at all, especially compared to the more recent entries in the series. (And, in reply to an earlier review, to get out of the boat, keep the jump button down and then press left or right). Music is pretty rare, but when its there, its pretty good.

Im happy that this game is out for Mac OS X and I am glad I bought it. (Hopefully, Tomb Raider Gold will eventually be released as well.) However, if youve never played it before, its probably best to just ignore it. If youve played it before and enjoy a blast from the past, then its great!
