Ryona Rating (for all games): 3/5
Tomb Raider 2
TR2 has a lot of improvements over the first game: human enemies, nicer graphics, sexier Lara and more outfits.
Ryona:
- There are plenty of human enemies and hostile animals in the game. Some of human enemies carry a gun but most of them use melee attacks.
- Lara's hit/pain animations are not very spectacular. Enemies can knock her a little bit, but that's it. When hit, Lara "bends" to opposite direction and moans.
- Traps, falling long distances and drowning offer other ways to die.
- Certain enemies have special death animations for Lara (for example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S2EI_UXkOek, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aR-gQuruRSw).

Tomb Raider 3
TR3 is very similar to TR2 and there isn't many improvements. Best improvement is probably more outfits for Lara.
Ryona:
- There are plenty of human enemies and hostile animals in the game. Some of human enemies carry a gun but most of them use melee attacks.
- Some enemies worthy of mentioning are piranhas in River Ganges, snakes in Jungle and Nevada, guards in Area 51 and Sophie in City (she fires energy bolts at Lara).
- Lara's hit/pain animations are not very spectacular. Enemies can knock her a little bit, but that's it. When hit, Lara "bends" to opposite direction and moans.

Tomb Raider: The Angel of Darkness
Ryona:
- Bad guys can knock Lara around (or shoot her) but unfortunately there's a lack of bad guys in this game and the character models interact poorly.
- Camera is locked behind Lara and cannot be controlled. However there are some spots in the game with static camera where it's possible to see the front of Lara. For example Louvre Galleries has this kind of spot (see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xJxnuJOlbEE).

Tomb Raider: Legend
Ryona:
- Bad guys can knock down Lara if you get too close (if you keep distance they will try to shoot her). Overall enemys interact poorly.
- There are several instant kill QTE moments (and death animations) in the game.
- If you die, screen fades to black immediately and game loads latest save game. They used ragdoll Lara in this one, so normal death animations are poor.

Tomb Raider: Anniversary
Tomb Raider: Anniversary is a remake of the original Tomb Raider game.
Ryona:
- All of the enemies are animals or monsters (wolves, bats, dinosaurs, etc). There are no human enemies exept in QTE scenes.
- Some of animals can grab Lara with their teeth. You can see her struggle to shake the animal off and you can tap button to do this.
- Giant gargoyle looking monster (boss level 15) can catch Lara if she gets too close. If the monster catches Lara, it will then swallow her and you can see Lara burning in monster's stomach acid. You can escape from by using keys left-right.
- Natla boss (level 15) has a charge/power attack that will send Lara flying (at her second stage). In her first stage she will just throw fireballs.
- There are lots of instant kill QTE moments (and death animations) in the game and many of them are good for ryona. Some of those scenes have bad guys/Natla's mobs trying to kill Lara.
- If you die, screen fades to black immediately and game loads latest save game. They used ragdoll Lara in this one, so normal death animations are poor.

Ryona:
- Bad guys can knock Lara around if get close to them (or shoot her if you keep distance) but unfortunately there's a lack of bad guys in this game and the character models interact poorly.
- There's also a swarm of spiders in the earlier levels that can attack Lara as a group. You can see her struggle to shake spiders off and you can tap button to do this.
- If you die, screen fades to black immediately and game loads latest save game. They used ragdoll Lara in this one as well, so there are no cool death animations.
- There are no QTE deaths in this game.

Tomb Raider (2012)
A reboot of the franchise scheduled for release Q4 2012. It will be a prequel based on the experiences of a young Lara Croft and is anticipated to be more of horror/survival game rather than a adventure platformer.
