Lara Croft: Tomb Raider (2001)
Awesome, absolutely smashing
Well. Tomb Raider - A movie based on the multi million selling video game character in history. Those who didn't like this film, bear with me. As my comment might displease you.
I went into Tomb Raider knowing that in Action films, certain things shown in the film, don't neccesarily always represent what would occur in real life. Knowing this I wasn't in my chair going "oh come off it, that wouldn't happen." I was totally emersed in the action and the character, Lara Croft, also I thought that the plot fit the Tomb Raider environment quite effectively. My main comment is that Tomb Raider the movie, should open a doorway for other Video Games to be made into films. I am hoping for the sequel - Simon West, Angelina Jolie - and all those involved in this film. It was a great visual experience and a thrill of a ride - THANK YOU.
Metal Gear (1987)
A replayable old game, great in its day
The first time I played Metal Gear I was about eight, I couldn't play it so I traded it for another game. Years down the track the urge to play the game again to finish it came up, so I bought it again.
If you like Metal Gear Solid, and you want to know about Solid Snake when he as a rookie, you might like it.
In terms of playability, Metal Gear is superb, while the graphics may not be on par with today's quality it still holds a firm standing as a great game.
The best part is the gameplay which holds its own against the gameplay of newer games.
A great game, buy it, you won't regret it.
