Lara Croft Tomb Raider : Legend Overview
Lara Croft Tomb Raider: Legend on Game Boy Advance presents the series' narrative through a side scrolling platformer format. The story follows Lara's global journey to locate a relic, with locations spanning from Japan to the Himalayas, matching the plot of other contemporary versions.
Gameplay requires precise jumping and timing to navigate platforms and avoid hazards, a mechanic that makes the action challenging. Lara utilizes a standard arsenal of guns against enemies and animals, though collected weapon drops do not alter her visual appearance. New tools expand her capabilities, including a grapple for swinging and capturing foes, and a PDA for tracking objectives. A headset allows communication with a remote ally who provides mission updates.
Story progression is handled through comic book style panels with dialogue bubbles. Beyond the main adventure, collected treasure can be redeemed to unlock supplementary content such as mini games, character profiles, and a time trial mode. The game also incorporates sequences where Lara operates a motorcycle.
