After the majesty that opened Soul Reaver, I was really hoping to see Core show off those CG skills. The sounds in The Last Revelation are wonderful. The voice actors speak with rare emotion, and pauses between dialogue occur at a decent rate to promote believability. Granted, it's not exactly Charlize Theron, but it'll do. The ambient sounds are also delightful.
Twigs break in the distance, torches crackle in stereo, and footsteps creep across concrete.
In the darker sections of The Last Revelation, these eerie sounds reminded me of The Blair Witch Project. For those dark areas, Lara carries flares that can be activated by pressing L and R simultaneously. Playing The Last Revelation requires every part of the Dreamcast controller - including both the Analog and Digital Pads. The controls are nicely mapped, though, making it easy to remember how to perform Lara's numerous moves. There are some cool looking scenes, but poor control, graphics, and gameplay really pull Tomb Raider down.
