How it feels

A scaled-down Tomb Raider romp through quasi-3D ruins, made tougher by its lack of a proper save feature.

About

Tomb Raider: The Prophecy is the first game for the Gameboy Advance. Lara is now in a quasi-3D overhead environment, as opposed to the 2D-platformer view of the previous handheld versions. This view proves helpful while Lara runs, jumps, shimmys, and shoots around. Although there is lack of a save feature, there is a password system which lets you restore back to 'almost' where you left.
