TOMB RAIDER VOICE ACTRESSES

Tomb Raider I [classic]: Shelley Blond Tomb Raider II & Tomb Raider III: Judith Gibbins Tomb Raider [The Last Revelation] IV - Tomb Raider [Angel of Darkness] VI: Jonell Elliot Tomb Raider [Legend] VII - Tomb Raider X?: Keeley Hawes

If you remember I became hooked on Tomb Raider after playing around with Tomb Raider II after hearing her [Lara] response towards my lack of tombraidering game skills at that time but when I first heard her [Lara] voice again on Tomb Raider I [classic] I defiantly would say, I prefer Shelley's voice as Lara for the original version of Tomb Raider. Be that as it may, I also prefer Keeley's voice as the new version of Lara Croft also and I definitely look forward to hearing more of her voice talents as Lara in future games as long as she is available. Okay before I forget I found the info above thanks to this site [1].From there you can see (except for Shelly) and read about each voice-actress. Cool huh?

TOMB RAIDER GAME RANTS

Tomb Raider New Menus-

I must say that after playing Tomb Raider [The Last Revelation] IV & Tomb Raider [Chronicles] V, I did not like the new set up at all. I prefer the original set-up in Tomb Raider I [classic - Tomb Raider III better. It's because your game was saved after completing a level and if you didn't save often in Tomb Raider [The Last Revelation] IV & Tomb Raider [Chronicles], you would be doomed to have to restart from whence you last saved and also if you were in a hurry you might have accidently reloaded the game rather than saving it (I know I did it more than one occasion.).

Tomb Raider Load Game Menu-

I loved the fact that after you had messed up so bad in any level (Example: Forgot a secret or two.) you could restart the entire level with the greatest of ease but since then, in the new update in Tomb Raider [The Last Revelation] IV & Tomb Raider [Chronicles] V if you screwed up that bad, you were doomed to restart the entire game. I actually had to do that; no joke I was furious!

Tomb Raider Save Crystals?-

Even though I adore Tomb Raider I [classic] I despised the method of saving in that game. It seemed you had to go to such great lengths to be able to save the game if you were a clumsy gamer. There are areas that should have had more Save Crystals because of the chances of totally messing up and killing Lara or having to backtrack.

With Tomb Raider II, I enjoyed the freedom of saving where ever I was but I also accidently reloaded instead of saving. However it was alot better than Tomb Raider I [classic] & Tomb Raider III. I'd save where ever I knew I would have a problem as and I definitely did not have to backtrack if Lara died or etc. It was great freedom.

Movie Rants-

Even though, Angie [Angelina Jolie] is a great actress, I did not like the way Lara was protrayed on film nor did I actually like the movies. I was hoping that one of the games [Tomb Raider I [classic], Tomb Raider II or Tomb Raider IV] would have provided a great storyline. I also did not like the history change of the character [parents' profession] nor the lack of elegance [shower scene] since then Lara has been changed. It would have been better to not to stray away from the games; even though it has attracted quite a crowd of new fans.
