Hi! So. Basically this is my first *real* post here (there were the ones in the intro thread of mine, but that doesn't really count).
Ironically enough, the single reason I ever got into Prince of Persia was because IGN went around saying for several years that Tomb Raider (one of my favorite game series) was a 3D clone of a 2D game called Prince of Persia.
Now that was nice to say and all, and it DID get me to try out and become addicted to Prince of Persia, but I have to disagree. Tomb Raider doesn't have a very good jumping system. It's controls were ALWAYS clunky, even for it's time. The only reason I can think they made the connection was with the fluid animations with the platforming element combined. Because Tomb Raider was nicely animated for it's time, as was Prince of Persia.
But basically they think they're completely different. More recently, I read a Tomb Raider: Legend review that said it took a page out of the revamping of the Prince of Persia series. (As TR: Legend is a "reboot" of a series as well.) And it thinks it's trying to mimic the newer PoP titles more closely.
I've played both. But I'm wondering if any of you here have thoughts. =)

Prince of Persia is more better than Tomb Raider. I think there are better enemies in the PoP series. btw,Lara kills lions,bears...etc,in Anniversary. _________________ "You give me power,you give me reason,will you love me? Time only knows."

I've played very little of the Tomb Raider series, while I've played all POP games. I presume it means I like POP more. _________________ Still round the corner there may wait

POP forum fans says prince is better , while Lara Croft fans says she is better .
If you want a fare answer I suggest you asking in a general forum . _________________ Neogogeta

There are already lots of discussions in the forum about this. All were pointless nitpicking of the bad things in Tomb Raider. _________________ The Ur-Quan Masters

Tomb Raider is a good game .
You should give it a try as well.
and
You like any game only when you can play them well. so be a pro in it and make comments.
Tomb Raider is hard but having played all it's installments it's a very good game. _________________

i've seen some videos about it on youtube and there are definite similarities in the way they use their bodies, and how it's animated. but i havent played tomb raider enough to make any sort of official judgement.

tomb raider is good, and so is prince of persia but in different ways. then they started to nick ideas from each other. there is evidence of that in lara's acrobatic moves in tomb raider legend. and i think more lush scenery of the jungles and stuff from tomb raider was put into prince of persia _________________
I like Tomb Raider, too. I am playing Tomb Raider 1 to 4 - I like them all. Of course, some people can make their own minds and not be urged to say that PoP is best just because they're a PoP fan + member in here. That's stupid! I just have to tell, that I'm having my time a bit more with Tomb Raider than Prince of Persia. Dot.
You may hate me for not liking PoP more than anything, but keep in mind, that I am still a fan of this game.
BtW, have you known already that Tomb Raider fans call theirselves "Raiders"? So they're almost as equal as Lara Croft. _________________ We have a little cat,
