I'm a writer for a gaming magazine [and] I've prob-ably never seen a fan-created website about a single game franchise as thorough and detailed as yours. Thank you for creating a site that stands as a role model to all fan-created websites online. :) Brilliant work and thanks so much for being there for all us hopeless gamers out here, who would be utterly lost in a dungeon, somewhere in cyber world, without you. I'm a mother of two babies and don't have much time for "Raidin'", but I don't even bother with other sites now. Your walkthroughs are fantastic! THANKS FOR WRITING!    |
Tomb Raider 2 Overview & Walkthrough
Tomb Raider 2 OverviewIn this second installment in the series, released in November 1997, archaeologist-adventurer Lara Croft goes after the legendary Dagger of Xian, an artifact rumored to give whoever possesses it the power of the dragon. Naturally Lara isn't the only one after the dagger. The Fiamma Nera (Italian for "Black Flame"), a cult led by the megalomaniacal Marco Bartoli, will stop at nothing to get there first. Gameplay is still a combination of action and adventure, but the sequel includes quite a bit more combat and bloodshed than the original. This time there are 16 full-size levels plus two shorter levels at the end. Lara's journey takes her from the Great Wall of China to the canals of Venice, then to an offshore oil rig and a sunken shipwreck. From there journeys to the foothills of Tibet and, finally, back to the Great Wall. Platforms: Originally released for PC, Macintosh and PlayStation 1. Now also available for PS3 and PSP as a download from the PlayStation Store.  What's New Since TR1: Graphics have been enhanced somewhat, with support for a good cross section of 3dfx cards available. In addition to the pistols, shotgun, and Uzis from the original game, Lara adds a harpoon gun, M-16 assault rifle and grenade launcher to her arsenal. (Automatic pistols replace the Magnums from TR1.) In TR2, players have their first chance to get behind the wheel with Lara. We can drive a speedboat in Venice and a snowmobile in Tibet. New moves include ladder climbing and a few combination jumps (see gameplay). And now Lara uses flares to light her way. Saving Your Game: Unlimited saves at any point on all platforms. (PC and Macintosh savegame files are available in case you make a bad save, want to skip a level, etc.)
Secrets: In TR2, the secrets for each level consist of three dragon statues—silver, jade and gold. Sometimes they're well hidden, sometimes in plain sight. A chime sounds when you locate a secret, and the stopwatch in the main inventory ring indicates how many you've found so far. This also appears on the statistics screen at the end of each level. When you pick up all three, you are rewarded with bonus items, usually ammo but occasonally a weapon or medipak. There is no bonus for finding all secrets in the game. And, as always, my walkthrough includes the location of all secrets. Bonus Levels: The re-release for PC, Tomb Raider 2 Gold, includes five bonus levels. These levels can also be downloaded free. A Google search for "Tomb Raider Golden Mask download" should turn up links. For more information and complete walkthrough, controls, visit my Golden Mask page. Tomb Raider 2 & Windows 7, Vista or XP: You'll need to do a bit of tweaking to get the game to run under Windows 7, Windows Vista or Windows XP. My Downloads and Tech Support Links pages include more information. Becoming an Expert Raider: If you've never played Tomb Raider before—or even if you have—I encourage you to check out my TR2 Controls and Gameplay Tips & Strategy pages. They include pointers on moving Lara through her environment, conserving health and ammo, using the menu and inventory systems, and much more. Tomb Raider 2 Walkthrough
