Play Tomb Raider - Legend (eu) Online

I first played Tomb Raider: Legend on the Nintendo DS back in 2006, when developers like Crystal Dynamics were figuring out how to bring big console adventures to the handheld. It was a time when you'd see a lot of ambitious ports on the DS, and this one tried to capture the feel of its bigger console siblings on the dual screens.

You control Lara Croft through a series of globetrotting adventures, with the main goal of uncovering an ancient artifact tied to her past. The gameplay mixes screen-by-screen exploration of ruins with combat using her dual pistols and a magnetic grappling hook. You solve environmental puzzles, often by pulling switches or using the hook to swing across gaps, and collect relic pieces to progress. The pacing is fairly straightforward, though some of the platforming can be tricky to line up on the smaller screens. It feels like a condensed, portable version of a tomb raiding expedition.
