About Lara Croft Tomb Raider: Legend

Lara Croft Tomb Raider: Legend is a title that brings the iconic adventurer to the Nintendo DS, letting you step into her well-worn boots for a portable expedition.

In this installment, Lara Croft is on the hunt for fragments of a powerful artifact, the Mirror of Smoke, a quest that pulls her into a web of ancient mysteries and personal history. You'll direct Lara as she leaps across chasms, climbs sheer cliffs, and swings from ropes to reach new areas. Combat is a constant companion, requiring you to aim and shoot with precision against various foes, from wildlife to human adversaries. The game challenges you to traverse diverse locations, from forgotten temples to icy fortresses, all while piecing together a compelling narrative.

The Nintendo DS version of Lara Croft Tomb Raider: Legend makes use of the system's unique capabilities. The touchscreen becomes your primary tool for aiming Lara's pistols with speed and accuracy, allowing for reactive combat. You'll tap and drag to perform specific actions, interact with puzzle elements, and manage quick-time events that punctuate particularly challenging sequences. Navigating the dual screens presents distinct level layouts, often requiring you to manage your approach across different perspectives or use the bottom screen for essential information.

This portable adventure focuses on delivering Lara Croft's signature blend of exploration, puzzle-solving, and action, adapted thoughtfully for handheld play.
