in years. It details the beginnings of Core Design from the emergence of Crystal Dynamics, details all print media, comic, novels, films and the fan community.
Even if you're a gamer who has yet to play Tomb Raider, the book truly shows how much Lara Croft has affected pop-culture and her influence in the gaming world. December 19, 2016I can't give this 5 stars because it was way too much info! Honestly, this book has like ALL the info concerning the TR games, creators, movies, comics, merch, fans,
etc. I loved it a lot but I was overwhelmed at times. The layout was great though and the pictures well chosen and placed and overall the quality of the book was amazing (considering it was like 17€). I would definitely recommend this to any TR fan!February 14, 2018Okay, so it took me awhile to finish this book... nitihu But MAN was it such a
PHENOMENAL read throughout the past almost year lol!! I was taken aback and in such awe after uncovering and discovering things that I never knew before about The Tomb Raider Franchise.My journey with Lara Croft started way back in 1999, 2000. On a family trip back home to New Jersey, my cousin had already been playing his Playstation
before we arrived. Once we got settled in after our reunion, my sister and I were curious about it, so we decided to sit down with him and learn how to play. (I believe the game was Street Fighter...?) Anyways, we were HOOKED and played for HOURS with him. That was when we discovered our deep love for video games. I found out later on that
after the trip, my dad saw how stoked we were about the Playstation and the game, that he had a long conversation with my mom about getting us the console. (Of course she was hesitant about it because she didn’t want it to take up all of our time lol) Well she ended up caving because we got one for Christmas that same year!! It was one of the
BEST Christmas gifts we ever received, and I still remember the moment when we opened it on Christmas Day.Anyways, this memory is a little blurred, but Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation was the VERY first game that we got from the franchise. poyafixa I believe the reason for us getting it was because there was a strong and empowering female
character on the cover. We played and were complete ADDICTS after that. The gaming world didn’t have a lot of female players or strong female characters during that time so as a female gamer, it meant a lot. She was so bad ass, and wasn’t afraid of anything that was thrown her way. Then came Tomb Raider Chronicles, Tomb Raider: The Angel of
Darkness, Tomb Raider Legend (MY FAVE), Tome Raider Anniversary, and then the 2013 reboot: Tomb Raider. (Yes I skipped a few games, and it wasn’t on purpose... I hope I can revisit and complete them one day), but it goes to show that regardless, I have been a fan all the way up until now, and will continue to be.

As a player of the games I enjoyed going to exotic locations as Lara and uncovering artifacts and getting through the puzzles (which were at times difficult lol) But as a die hard fan, reading this book and understanding everything that went into
creating her and this incredible franchise was eye opening. There were sooooooo many hardworking people involved in making the games so unique and different. That’s why Lara Croft is such an Icon, and will continue to be. I enjoyed reading about the creativity with the illustrations, how the games were developed, the official Tomb Raider
Movie/Movies, the Official Real Life Lara Models, the music, fan fiction stories, fan films, cosplayers, etc. mipa I even learned brand new terms that I never understood or even knew about before. Each section that was written went into great detail about each game and how it came to be. There was so much wonderful and USEFUL information that I
felt like my head was going to explode!! (In a GOOD way) I also loved hearing and reading about the impact that Lara has had on fellow gamers as well, and the lengths that these gamers would go in order to honor her.
I can’t wait to connect with other Tomb Raider fans, and talk with them about past and future games!!!!!! (Which I am VERY STOKED FOR!!) All in all, Meagan Marie... I CAN’T THANK YOU ENOUGH for all of the HARD work you’ve done to put together something so special for us fans. Your book was an accidental discovery at my old job in the
gaming section and I was super stoked to get my hands on it, because I was interested in knowing a little bit more about one of my FAVORITE video game franchises of all time. This was my very first “Coffee Table Book”, and I am proud to say that. When I get my own “Coffee Book Table”, I can’t wait to display it proudly. Thank you also to the
geniuses behind Lara Croft, because without you guys, she would not exist.
I can’t thank you enough!!If you are a HUGE fan of the franchise, PICK UP THIS BOOK!! It is a MUST-READ, VERY insightful and fun! Here’s to ANOTHER 20 Years of Tomb Raider!!!! I LOVE YOU LARA CROFT!! ❤ #TOMBRAIDERFORLIFESeptember 22, 2020A very readable look at the history of Tomb Raider, created for true fans of the series –
and Lara herself. Chapters cover the games, films, comics, novels, music, and more, with each showing a decent amount of original art, screen captures, sketches, character models, and photography. Although I was originally a little disappointed about the large amount of fan coverage, and would have preferred to see much more content relating to
the original Core Design games, all of this fan-based material (fansite creators, cosplayers, artists, writers, collectors, etc.) does provide an insight into Lara’s enormous worldwide impact, with many of these fans finding personal and creative inspiration to solve everyday life problems, find work or friends, or discover new interests through Lara’s
exotic adventures. Love TR and Lara? If so, you’ll certainly get your fan fix with this hefty tome.October 4, 2021The ultimate and must read history of the Tomb Raided gaming series. What I liked -The level of depth in every single section of this book in phenomenal. No one chapter is light on details but rather they’re all written with heart and
passion. cupumomezu The book covers every single aspect of the Tomb Raider world. It starts with the games and leads on to the comics, books, movies and as far as cosplayers and fan sites. This truly is a ‘must read’ if you’re a Tomb Raider fan. What I disliked - Nothing much.
If I was picking at straws I wouldn’t have missed the fan letters etc but they do harm being there. 5/5.August 17, 2022This book is so thorough! Wow, from the games to the cosplayers! Everything in-between. All media is covered in crazy detail. xobegolusu Plenty of colour photos and even a cute click animation in the corner showcasing Lara's
signature moves over the years.April 29, 2023A great book about Lara Croft journey. nevajeruvakeno Tomb Raider has been my favourite since the games and also Angelina Jolie days.
I am passionate gamer and I love this character. This book has a lot of things I didn't know. Great illustrations as well.May 10, 2018I was going to give it 5 stars up until about the 300-page mark where I started to realise - There’s so much of it! One certainly can’t accuse Meagan Marie of not researching her subject matter - everything Tomb Raider is
thoroughly dissected, from the Lara Croft models to the fan-made short films and statues to music and fan-fic and game designers and movie makers. It’s an entertaining read to start with as she delves into the history of the game series and it’s here we have our meatiest and most enjoyable portion of the book. It’s interesting to read about how a
small company came up with such an iconic character who captured the zeitgeist of a generation and helped bring gaming to the masses.
The book is less interesting when it starts discussing fan websites and level-design hobbyists at length. Although I must say I found the segment on collectors and cosplayers of interest so everyone should find something in these pages to satisfy. wovazuwaya I recommend it highly if you know, maybe you have a thing for Lara like I do or an interest in
the history of video games. A great book to flip through, also, and visually very nicely presented. February 20, 2017Loved learning some things I didn't know. I knew A LOT but there was still things in here that I didn't know.
It's a good 20 year book of gathering everything that has happened with the character and understanding the changes and why some dusting off and renewing was important to the character. November 23, 2023In the zeitgeist of gaming, there is arguably no bigger female icon than Lara Croft who is even more famous than the actual name of the
franchise in which she lives, Tomb Raider. Lovingly crafted (or Crofted) with every morsel of information, this rare tome (or tomb) chronicles 20 Years of Tomb Raider.Printed on thick, glossy paper, this book is a cherished rarity packed with contents as high quality as the paper its printed on. Written for the fans by a fan, Meagan Marie’s passion for
the franchise bleeds through the pages as every facet of Tomb Raider is thoroughly researched and recorded. This extends to the perennial debate of the dichotomy surrounding the central figure, questioning whether she is defined as a feminist icon or a sex symbol which encases the legacy of the franchise.With such a high re-read value, revisiting
these transportive colourful pages offers high reward by indulging the reader in both rich pop culture and context-sensitive info about the gaming industry. If my house was burning down, I’ve often stated that this is one of the few items I would save! February 8, 2017This was exactly what I wanted. To this day, I still love the first Tomb Raider
game, and I've always wondered how the small team managed to create such an atmospheric and immersive masterpiece. This book tells you exactly that, as well as exploring all other aspects of the franchise too.I had to knock it down a star for not being entirely honest with regards to the series failings. Angel of Darkness, for instance, was handled
much more positively in tone than it should have been.I wish more game franchises would release books like this in the future. Great read!March 7, 2017March 29, 2017This book is great! It contains information on all the Tomb Raider games and everything that is connected to them (movies, books, fan sites etc.) the book looks beautiful too with a lot
of pictures and a nice layout. A worthy tribute to Lara and her games!April 27, 2017If you are a fan of the games like me this is a must read, it covers everything you could thing of, all the games, the Angelina Jolie movies, look-a-like's and more. Seeing a lot of the PS1 era pictures that you used to see everywhere at one point again years later was
quite the nostalgia trip. Even though they're still the mental image I associate with the character seeing them mixed in with pictures from the 2013 reboot/ Rise of the Tomb Raider made me truly realise how far the franchise has come. Still though this book was a nostalgic, informative and engaging read as a Lara Croft fan that's for sure and (as
someone who ironically avoids recommendations) I would urge my fellow massive Tomb Raider fans to check this out.August 19, 2017Taí um livro excelente - são mais de 300 páginas cheias de informações e imagens, muitas delas são inéditas. O livro cobre todos os aspectos da franquia, ou seja, jogos, filmes, quadrinhos, livros e todo tipo de projeto
relacionado à Tomb Raider. E mesmo quem jogou todos os jogos, com certeza vai encontrar algo novo neste livro, que por sinal é muito bem diagramado. Como fã de longa data, eu definitivamente recomendo a quem também é fã e a quem quiser mergulhar em 20 anos de história da Larinha!Displaying 1 - 19 of 19 reviewsGet help and learn more
about the design. Submitted by Teoh Yi Chie on November 15, 2016 - 10:23am Publisher Prima Games has done an absolutely wonderful job putting this book together. It's a large 360-page hardcover packed with so much information that would take several sittings to go through them.
This is not an artbook, but more like an encyclopedia on all things Tomb Raider. The author Meagan Marie, fan of Tomb Raider of course, really went all the way to make this as comprehensive as possible. The book goes all the way back in history to look at how the game was conceived, designed and created. It also looks at all the individual games as
they evolve, and also the games that never made it past production. There's also content on the expanded world, such as into comic books, novels, features in magazines and the Angelina Jolie movie. Almost anything related are included. Its pop culture influence, endorsements and sponsorships, music, voice actors, merchandise and close to a
hundred pages are devoted to fans, such as for fan art, websites, cosplays, fan films and more. It's an incredibly insightful book that's filled with lots of photos, artworks, screenshots, and everything is well organised and beautifully presented. For the price of the book, it's really worth the money. Highly recommend to all Tomb Raider fans. 20 Years of
