And Just Wait Until Angelina Jolie is Lara Croft !

This book actually touches on two favorites of mine. Douglas Coupland is the author of two of my favorite books - Generation X and MicroSerfs. Tomb Raider is my favorite gaming series and I just adore Lara Croft. She is the coolest. This book combines a tribute to Lara and a walk-through of the Tomb Raider Games - I believe through Tomb Raider II. Now, anyone who's ever played TR knows how rockin' cool Lara Croft is. This book contains excellent renderings of our favorite adventurer. The overall book quality is very good - glossy pages and very well presented. There's a lot of look at but if you enjoy the series, then this is a must have. And just a reminder - as all Tomb Raider fans know - The Tomb Raider movie - starring Angelina Jolie ( they couldn't have made a better choice ) as Lara Croft - opens on June 15th 2001...I know I can't wait. Best Regards, turtlex

I know exactly how Coupland feels about Lara

In my mind's eye, I picture Lara back-flipping and gunning down the giant Atlantean mutant in Natla, the last level of Tomb Raider. If it wasn't for this book I wouldn't have completed Tomb Raider I, II or Unfinished Business.

A few mistakes, but the only way to win.

Sure there were mistakes. Page 121: "Leap atop the fence, Find the Uzis", and later "Leap and grab the edge of the wall Shimmy Left". They should be switched! I spent about three days figuring out this and many other mistakes. But I shouldn't complain: I would never have gotten past page 2 if it weren't for this book. It really helped a lot! Seriously, I would reccommend it to anyone who is into Lara Croft and the Tomb Raider series!

A great book for the Tombraider fan.

This book has practically all the tombraider fan needs background imformation, imfomation on what she wears, walkthrough (there nice and simple not like on the web pages),and of course thousands of pictures.
