Tomb Raider Legend Was Great! Lovely Glossy Piggyback Guide Came In Useful!

We finished Tomb Raider and we didn't think we'd ever bother!
We didn't even think we'd want to play another Tomb Raider game again, but we gave this one the benefit of the doubt. We also gave Piggyback's guide a go too because as you know by now we are completely in love with them, and we buy everthing they do.
Tomb Raider is definitely back on form and we're looking forward to the possible follow up. The game mechanics are fantastic and as we played the 360 version in HiDef, we can definitely say the graphics are lovely. The tropical locations look lush, and the dark locations look dark. The sound was pretty nifty too, we were in a cave with electric lights buzzing from our rear left speaker at one point and we thought we had a rogue wasp in the room.
So yeah we recommend the game, but not at £50... We got ours from Amazon at £35, and we wouldn't really spend that much if we could help it, we expect most of you would be happy to do a "10 day job" on it at GAME.
The Piggyback guide did really come in useful. This guide differs to the one we reviewed the other day, the Dragon Quest one. Obviously because they are completely different games, but also because they don't require the same level of detail. There's no alternate routes in Tomb Raider so the walkthrough is pretty much all you need. It's clear, concise and full of lovely pictures to show you where you should be. We were also trying to get our achievements sorted so rest assured the guide does show you what needs to be done to get these precious points.
However we did find that the points guide at the end of the book is slightly incorrect - it lists more achievements than there actually are, and with the wrong values. If you want to find the locations of the secret items yourself you can do, the guide has separated the locations from the walkthrough, but does tell you when one is about.
Why bother getting this guide over using the free services? Well this time as well as getting the fantastic quality guide you don't get from everyone else, you get some really cool behind the scenes info too. We're talking character profiles, a detailed breakdown of the previous Tomb Raider games, a massive behind the scenes making of the game including stuff that got deleted.
For the ultimate Tomb Raider Legend experience we recommend both the guide and the game, Amazon are doing the guide for only £7.25!
