Tomb Raider 4: THE LAST REVELATION

Sega Dreamcast / Core Design / Eidos

Although this is essentially the same game that recently appeared on the PlayStation, some fancy enhancements push this up to accelerated PC level. In fact, The Last Revelation is probably the best-looking version so far.

The Dreamcast remains unstretched but the visuals capture the Egyptian mood perfectly. The plot sees Lara returning to what she does best – raiding tombs in her usual physics-defying manner-but this time she stays in Egypt rather than globe-trotting.

So, what is The Last Revelation? The chances are only a few will ever find out because this is a very tricky game. You will need to prepare for periods of intense frustration and annoyance, punctuated by some superb sequences.

If only Lara would move in the direction you point. If only she jumped when you press 'jump' rather than run those fatal final steps. If only the puzzles were less obscure.

So why bother? Well, the characterisation and the storyline are of sufficient quality to encourage perseverance. Also, solving a stubborn puzzle or back-flipping over a chasm is undeniably good fun. This is the best version yet and will do for now, but a radical overhaul is needed before Lara returns again.
