Summary: Get the Update ... And A PPC Mac!
Comment: The "Tomb Raider: TLR" 1.0.2 updater patch is available from the MacUpdate Website. The game "Tomb Raider: TLR" plays best on a PPC G3 or G4 processor when running on a Mac that is NATIVELY booted into Mac OS8.6 or OS9 (Classic). It can work on a G5 in the classic mode (Rosetta) under OSX, albeit not as well rendered. ATTN.: Does NOT run on the latest Intel Macs!
Get the update and have fun on your old PPC Macintosh. ( :^)

Summary: Good Game but loss of coherent story
Comment: Another great game in the Tomb Raider series at least from the play and entertainment value. The puzzles are fun, the landscapes beautiful, and the lack of pointlessly difficult jumps, timed runs, and fewer boobie-traps make this an enjoyable experience. Alas! you can SAVE your game again (not those stupid blue crystals that we all learned to hate from TRIII)!On the other hand, I found the story line rather difficult to follow and it is not always clear who is friend or foe. Sure, everyone in the game that isn't Lara and alive has to be shot and killed but why do some of them help Lara in her quest when she has just mowed-down ten of their friends? Ever since Tomb Raider III there has been a strange moral ambiguity about Ms. Croft. Is she a feminine heroin fighting the forces of evil or is anyone fair game in search of treasure? Ok, so this isn't supposed to be a fairy tale for kids but come on - where is the consistency?
Oh, and by the way....all those beautiful rooms shown off at the beginning of the game - don't get your hopes up high - they are NOT in the actual game. Nice.
Anyway, it was a fun game to play (although the end is rather - atypical) and no Lara Croft fan should miss this one. I am just hoping that we will return to a Lara Croft we can believe in...

Summary: "Save game" problem is user error, not software bug
Comment: I talked with someone at Aspyr Media, who said they had gotten a lot of calls about the "unable to save game" bug. It's not really a bug, I found out--it's what happens when people try and save their games to the CD-ROM! He said this happens when people try to play the game from the CD, and not from the hard drive. Hope this helps!

Summary: This game has bugs in it.
Comment: This game is very good except for one gigantic error. I have found that it is impossible to save you game on the Mac version of Tomb Raider TLR. I have found other people on the internet who have had the same problem. I would reccomend waiting until the problem is fixed before buying the game.

Summary: 4.99999999
Comment: I've played this game not on Macintosh, but on a PC. But the game is still the same, right? Right. From what I've seen so far, TR 4 has the best graphics and cut scenes yet. That's part of what makes this a great game. The puzzles are very challenging, if you don't realize that you have to jump to a certain place, or backtrack a little to a certain place, or just stand and jump instead of running and jumping first, or check if a surface is climbable. If you're the ambicious type that says, "OK, I'm going to go through the entire game without dying," don't be dissappointed. Because that's NOT GOING TO HAPPEN. My recomendation is saving A LOT. After you get to a new level, save. After you just complete a challenging puzzle, save.Every game (at least the ones I've tried so far) have sort of a training level in them. This game's training level is kind of a flashback to when Lara was sixteen and visits Egypt with this gung ho professor guy.
If you could rate this game a 4.99999999, that's what I'd rate it (because sometimes you can get really frustrated looking for a solution to a puzzle or trying to make an impossable jump).
