TOMB RAIDER 2 Is An Action-Packed PS1 CLASSIC! (Review)

[@declanhampson1098]

‘Poor Lara has to suffer because of MY incompetence’ is the single most honest statement ever made in a gaming video 😂 anyone else would blame the mechanics or the oxygen gauge.

[@goawayleavemealone2880]

When I'm swimming and drown it's my fault... literally every other time it's Lara's fault, because I made that jump last time I played.

[@michag798]

Getting through Witcher 3 ATM, and it has like far worse swimming mechanics xD

[@Geeksfreaksoutcastsandmisfits]

Listening to you describe these games that mean the world to me, feels so familiar. I love how you can tell the old school hardcore players from the casual ones; it all depends on how they describe their own experience.

The boat in venice is the strongest memory I have from watching my dad play this on the PC back in the day when it was just released, always so mesmerizing!

[@GFrom]

Classic TR moment! Especially when watching a parent play it 🙂

[@MizfitZer0]

Also it was the tomb raider games that made me realise I do indeed have thalassophobia. I hate underwater sections in any game. It just puts me on edge beyond belief and makes my anxiety spike through the roof... even laras indoor pool in her mansion scared me

[@GFrom]

I can relate...

[@KasumiRINA]

I noticed several people commenting on big and open water areas being scary... I have the opposite issue, the small and clustered water zones make me feel like I am suffocating.

[@mikehawk8984]

Definitely can commiserate. I was just reminiscing with my dad a while back about how he probably gave me thalassophobia from this game 😅😂

I've never reflected on why she wears shorts in tibet other than that it looks cold. But now, all of a sudden, it makes sense. It looks like she goes straight to tibet with the seaplane and of course she doesn’t have a change of pants. But the pilots jacket laying in the cockpit? That she can put on. Haha, I never noticed that before.

[@egonjensen6506]

Unlike you I love the floating islands section. The eerie background sound perfectly matches the atmosphere of being trapped somewhere between two worlds, in a different dimension, somewhere beyond time. The jade green, lava only add to this atmosphere. I also I find the concept of statue warriors coming to live scary and fascinating. They make ominous sound when they walk and the growls! Of course, it would've made a x100 times bigger impression on me if I saw And heard it back in 1997. Finally, the theme that is played when you ascend the rails with the sound of the bells makes me think of eternity, mortality, inevitability of what's to come and finally of the end of the great adventure.

[@BlueZirnitra]

Totally agree with you on all points. This game has such a great variety of atmospheres and Floating Islands caps all that off with a truly alien and spooky level. The warriors hovering towards you droning as they get closer was so memorable.

[@Skylerjones624]

1 thing i noticed about the game after finishing it, Lara actually never interacts with Marco Bartoli at all

[@abisnow1843]

I guess the only „interactions“ are the part on the plane (i feel like he is looking at her when he says „fixed that rail yet…?“) and when he shoots at her in the diving area. And even then that’s not really an interaction. It’s something I wondered if they would change if they did an anniversary style remake of TR2

[@Skylerjones624]

44:36 - TR2 (pc version) was the first tomb raider game I ever played, back when I was a kid. And I dreaded that spider cave ever since... :'(. Replaying it 20 years later, still gives me the creeps. I remember my fingers were literaly shaking on the keyboard. I finally got through it by turning off the game sound and blasting hard rock music on Winamp while playing so I didn't hear the spiders anymore ^_^". It worked :)))

This was my very first action-adventure game. My parents bought it on pc, but back then we had dial-up and had to beg and plead on the weekends to play it, and it would always blow my mind. I eventually got it on PS1 and its still one of my favorite games close to my heart 💙

[@losmosquitos1108]

Hi mate, sorry I just had to subscribe to your channel. Someone who is making reviews about these very old games, definitely has earned that! Love the games AND your videos about them. TR1 I played on a SEGA SATURN console (the game was a Sega only exclusive for 1 month or so) and TR2 was the only reason for me to buy a PS1 in 1997. I remember how mad I was, that it was all of a sudden a PS1 exclusive title…. Didn‘t we all lock Winston into the freezer? 🥶 Concerning these „automatic pistols“ replacing the TR1 magnums is sort of an oversight/error by the devs. These are in fact magnum caliber semiautomatic pistols like in TR1, they even seem to share the same sound file. Only difference is, they made the shot cadence a tidy bit faster. But „automatic“ means: pulling the trigger once and holding it until your clip is empty. The whole firing-case ejecting-recocking-reloading procedure runs automatically and repeatedly as long as the trigger is keeping pulled. Which clearly isn‘t the case here (like with the SMG or assault rifle). So these „automatic“ pistols are in fact semi automatic like the base guns, only a bit faster and with more UMPH Sending you my best from Uruguay, Mike. 🇺🇾👍♥️ PS: Herzliche Grüsse an Dein Heimatland Sverige (von dort wär ich sicher nicht weggegangen). Bin Österreicher und froh, nicht mehr dort leben zu müssen, besonders seit 2 Jahren, saludos! 🥂

I recently beat TR 2 and the expansion for the first time, completely blind. I must say it is a masterpiece. Every action in the game feels engaging and everything feels like a set piece. I didn't know that I had to let the monks live and spent the whole monastery level shooting them down. Fun times. I like how in depth you were with the review, it felt like I was listening to a close friend sharing his experience with the game. Thank you!

I love hearing you reminisce, it’s so familiar! I remember first getting the game downloaded to my computer with my dad’s help and it was finally ready late at night. Child me decided “it’s all dark and spooky, I’ll just go to her house and start the game tomorrow.” And what happens? I’m startled by the most terrifying man who turns out to be her trust kind butler, but boy did child-me jump out of my seat!

[@Kiwi0kami]

I used to watch my dad play this game too. I was so young rest in peace to my father. It was better than watching a movie , and watching my dad do all of the parkour jumps and intricate puzzle solving, I really don’t understand why Me has a little kid, loved this game. It’s ridiculously hard for a little kid, but yeah, this was a cool video. Thank you for the nostalgia.

[@cosmina.m.7570]

I finished the game for the first time last week. All I wanted was to finish it quickly. I didn't like it at all and I knew this is the most loved game from the clasics. I can't understand why. Maybe nostalgia. So, I was dissapointed. For example, I love Tomb Raider 3 the most. This game is full of humans, there are planty of huuuge rooms, but kinda empty, I hat the underwater stages, I didn't like the Venice part. I'd replay TR3 anytime, but this I won't do it again. Anyway, congratulations for your content! I'd watch you all day long!

Haven’t played these games in a long time. So, recently started playing them again. I think this game was way harder than the first. Plus it was so dark in some levels, I would have to use the light from my pistols when I would shoot them to see at all if I had no flares. Maybe cause I played via emulator is to why everything was so dark. Not sure. But I really enjoy your content and I am now subscribed and will watch the rest of your stuff.

[@Mintylight]

The human vs animal enemies is interesting (and I do consider humans to be an animal, just a more familiar one). I still feel alone with human enemies, because they are enemies, not friends. I felt most alone in Tomb Raider Legend, when I lost contact with Zip. I didn't even really think about it much before then. Because I was with myself, and I don't feel alone then. But if I have someone with me from start and then lose that person/persons, I do experience loss.

[@SoloBoardGamingKnight]

I’ve really been enjoying your videos. Lately, I’ve been replaying the games I used to play as a teenager and I’ve been having fun. From Final Fantasy 7 to Tomb Raider, there’s a special feeling about playing old school games that modern games just don’t offer.

[@Leonard_Wolf_2056]

One thing I really don't like about tomb raider II is human enemies have perfect accuracy. Perfect accuracy means many bullets and many bullets means lots of hp loss, thus lots of health kits are needed. This one is a "pet peeve", I really don't like how so many areas are so big yet so empty. I know most big empty areas have a reason to be mostly empty, but it still just says to me "short development time".

[@mikehawk8984]

It might've just been me, but Winston scared the shit out of me as a kid lol. I didn't like the sounds he made and the fact that regardless of where you went you knew that he was slowly following you. Really unnerving.

Was so gutted this didn't come out on the Saturn back in the day, but I did get around to playing it eventually. Didn't like it as much as the first, though it is a good sequel. Always thought Tomb Raider's brand of adventure was tinged with strong horror, and TR2 continued that wonderfully

[@MetalOnMetal]

You TOTALLY nail what I think of Tomb Raider 2 : I was 5 when I first played TR1, and 6 when TR2 wame out. It blew my mind, TR2 was such an improvement on many levels comparing to the first game. It became my absolute favorite Tomb Raider for years ! But, when I was 14, after a walkthrough of TR2, I decided to get back TR1, and it was kinda nice ! I replayed the two games on a roll at 18-19, and it became clear to me that TR2 is a better action-packed and a more polished game, but the overall feeling of Tomb Raider 1 makes this one very special. Time spoke to me : I replay TR1 every year, for TR2, it's more like every 4 years ;)

Ich bin also nicht der einzige, der manche Sachen ziemlich kryptisch findet. Und ich muss auch ganz ehrlich sagen: Mir gefällt es auch nicht wirklich, dass so viele Levels in modernen Umgebungen sind. Tomb Raider 1 hatte für mich eigentlich auch deshalb den Charme, weil man immer irgendwo in Gräbern, Höhlen und Tempeln unterwegs war. Als Kind mochte ich das Spiel trotzdem. Vll werde ichs ja doch mal noch zuende spielen, nur damit ich das mal gemacht habe. ^^

[@Duplucky5]

Of the three Tomb Raiders I’ve made, it’s honestly the one that I liked least. The problem is he always does too much. I loved every first level of each environment but after that it just became repetitive and boring. If each environment had been one level less, the game would have been perfect, except for the fact that they abused too much on human enemies who added to the repetition of the game. The saddest part is that they’ve abused humans so much that in the end, the only really important character in the game is Winston. We’re nowhere near the Larsons and Pierre of the first game. That said, I really loved doing the Tibet and I agree that the monastery is the best level of the game. The Temple of Xian was a real torture that never ended. But I understand that he was really there to test the player’s willingness to go through with the game and I enjoyed the fact that I managed to finish it after he pushed me in my last entrenchments. In fact, congratulations on completing it in just 56 minutes. It took me more than 3 hours to finish, not counting the many deaths I had. The fact that I had almost no health kits because of previous levels added even more difficulty to the challenge, it was crazy. However, the Maria Donna was a big disappointment for me. They could have done something great but they really missed it on the whole line for me. The only times I felt like exploring a wreck was in the underwater passages. For the rest, it was just ugly levels, repetitive and I’m still trying to understand the layout of the wreck so the sequence of levels makes absolutely no sense anywhere. Maybe I should give it a second chance one of these days but when I think about the Temple of Xian, I have some PTSD that are activated and it discourages me from relaunching it.

i always thought that bird that shows up after you get the talion was pretty hot. He shows up in Nightmare in Las Vegas too right?

That giant eel had to be ripped off from Mario 64, it behaves exactly the same way, staying in an alcove and only popping out when you go near it and it makes pretty much the same movements

I think giving the player the ability to save anywhere, any time, with no limit, indirectly makes the game _harder,_ because the game balance is shifted in that it can get away with throwing more bs at you, sometimes too much (or maybe the game being harder resulted in more freedom with saving?) Too much difficulty, along with health shortages due to individual secrets no longer giving resources, can promote save-scumming, which is the opposite of fun
