Oh crap. I was going to wait for the GameCube version to be released but Circuit City had Tomb Raider Legend on sale last week for $39.99. I picked it up for the XBox, since I assumed the 'Cube version would end up being a straight-up port. I guess I should have waited afterall.

The new feature is they'll replace Lara Croft with a giant, multi-colored Panda bear.  Kids like multi-colored animals.  They don't like hawt girls in skimpy clothes.

They're also adding more motorcycle levels.

I played the PC version.

But the DS version...!  o_0  Touching IS good.

From what I have (feel free to prove me wrong) Legends is really just another average Tomb Raider game with the exception of the pretty graphics. Hopefully, the new features on the Nintendo versions will help to fix that. Also, I have very little hope that the DS version will be good because, so far, the ports to the DS have not been so great.

I'm pretty sure the extra feature is going to be that they removed the nipple.

Well, given that Eidos hasn't released anything on the DS yet I'm not gonna be too quick to judge.  We still don't really know if it's an in-house project or if it's outsourced yet.

Nintendo has decided to whore out Peach and Edios is going to replace Lara with Peach

Or Daisy. That'd gurantee sales.

I'll give this one a try, since the last Tomb Raider game I played was the second one
