Is a ledge too high? Jump straight up and grab it.
Such is not the case with Tomb Raider, as each of the game's levels is a platter from which gameplay is served piping hot. Many Game Boy owners cringe when a control scheme is described as deep or complex, fearing that play mechanics won't mesh with level design. One could go on forever describing the GBC Tomb Raider's control, but the important factor is this: The control is just as deep as in the PC version. Is an enemy in your way? Hit "select" to draw your pistols. Hold up to jump, push forward to walk, and press down to pick up items. Thankfully, except for the lack of Z-axis jumping, the GBC Lara can do everything her PC and console counterparts are capable of doing. Understandably, there is some concern as to how this control system can be executed with the Game Boy's four buttons. Using a plethora of buttons, you can make the PC and console Lara run, jump, swim, climb, and perform a variety of actions. Should you happen upon a save crystal, a single save slot is present to record your progress.ĭespite the attention focused on Lara's (ahem) ample assets, it's Tomb Raider's innovative control that captures people's attention. Rest assured, this is only a brief simplification of what turns out to be an ongoing and immersive plot. Along the way, you'll encounter fallen comrades, greedy treasure hunters, and a plethora of ghastly foes. It seems treasure hunters are after the Nightmare Stone, the key to releasing the evil god Quaxet, and it's Lara's job to stop them. In a side-scrolling quest befitting a female Indiana Jones, Tomb Raider GBC contains 14 lengthy levels spread across five distinct areas. With that in mind, THQ offers new hope with its release of Tomb Raider for the Game Boy Color. Secondly, the last two Tomb Raider releases have been less than stellar, besmirching Lara Croft's sparkling reputation. Who wasn't? For one, Tomb Raider is known for its 3D looks, whereas the Game Boy Color isn't exactly a graphical powerhouse. As for what is she after, the trailer briefly shows golden disks which could be the thing she is looking for.Admit it, when a Game Boy Color Tomb Raider was announced, you were skeptical. The report adds that there will surely be classic traps within the tombs as challenging puzzles for the gamer to solve to proceed. The game follows protagonist Lara as she tries to find the ancient city of Paititi before the world gets destroyed by a Mayan apocalypse.Īs per a report by Realsport101, since it is a mobile game, the graphics are more cartoony and kid-friendly than regular consoles.
