Latest reviews of Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light™ app for iPhone and iPad
Pretty good game, but constantly crashes. Each cinematic scene, it crashes, sometimes 4-5 times before you can get it to load. Frustrating and not worth the amount you pay. Knock it down to $.99 if it is going to be so unstable.
Was really hoping for some Tomb Raider Action, instead total frustration with the controls. Used the hints and cheats to see if I could do better and was more frustrated with controls...ie, cheats said start on the right side of the stairs, the game would automatically move me to the left side making it impossible to cross the bridge. Just a really frustrating, not a lot fun waste of money!
Someone said the controls are hard to use - I disagree, the game just has some hard spots that require a little skill and a bit of luck perhaps. We found you can really do well by ignoring the time to complete a tomb the first time through and just focus on finding everything. Try not to pass up a doorway with red eyed skulls (bonus puzzle room) sometimes you cant go back to them! Use your inventory often to set the best artifact bonuses - the bonuses only take effect when the red meter is full (and the red meter goes to zero if you are touched by anything harmful!) Never underestimate how powerful the spear can be both against enemies and to throw into a wall to stand on (sometimes two tiers high!) To set different guns to the buttons, hold down the select and drag your finger to the slot. Try to find then Ammo and Health regen artifacts - when the red gauge is full you can stand back and hose everything down with buckets of lead if you like (cause they auto refill) I think that is all we noted that is not clear. ** Below Is One Spoiler ** Dont look if you want to figure it out!! * The spiked roller coming at you can be blown up high enough to run under (it is very picky about where though) nuf said!
Again another app that I paid for and crashes after minute.
I play this in multiplayer mode with my husband and we cant figure out how to save the game. Help! I would give this 5 stars; otherwise without ability to save, it is unplayable.
