I still remember the feeling of how excited I was after beating the wall of China level (I had no idea how to play when I first got the game) So being in Venice and driving the boats were so awesome to me!

I remember this when I was 9 year old. now I 28. time flies so fast :(

I love how you play your levels. You play as if you’re watching a movie and take your time, rather than just speed running and spam jumping. Great job!

Thank you so much for taking the time to upload these. You have brought back many fond memories and have brightened my day.

Ahh nostalgia. This has actually aged quite well, good textures can hide a multitude of low-poly sins. Even in Doom... which doesn't have any "polys" at all XD

[RaymondKarlVeasey]

I would love to see somebody do a remake of this level with the tech of today, or possibly a new tomb raider set in Venice, Italy.

How nostalgic this is 😊
We grew up with Lara, thank you Sony 🙋🏻‍♂️

One of my favourites levels of tomb raider 2 because i really liked to run the boat, also listening the ambient music like the birds and other favourite music like the violin parts :) i played again for the nostalgic :p

I didn't use the boats, just went down through that door where the switch to open the final gate is located.
Crazy that it worked.

Never played Tomb Raiders on PS1, but still feeling the nostalgia and typical elements the games of these days have. The environment feels rich despite the low polys and the number of interactions we have in the game (climbing, swimming, driving a boat) seem to be so far ahead of its time concerning PS1 games at the time

I loved playing tomb raider 2 as a kid.

Funny how this level just drops you in Venice without any proper flow. Like boom, here you are in Venice right after the cutscene in China lol.

13:05 I was stuck on this bit. Stupid mechanics. You need to enter that room but the door is locked and only opens when you step on the platform. Only problem is that if you see its locked then why step on the platform?

[NessLover]

Without thinking very clearly I could try to drive the boat right into the goal, but this caused Lara Croft to go BOOM!

The dogs are on the enemie's side

You don't need to do the speedboat speed run twice. You can let the first boat crash into the mines untimed, and then amble back to the boathouse with the other boat and then do the speed run.
