On general, did you prefer the all-human (excluding a couple of bosses) enemies of Legend, the nearly-all-creature enemies of the original, or the balance of the earlier sequels?
Personally, I think the beasts complement the tombs and other ancient areas well and add to the atmosphere, and was quite disappointed that none appeared in Legend, while human enemies fit the artificial environments better. I think TR2 struck the best balance, the human enemies seemed effectively almost inhuman yet still maintained their human essence.
However, I still have fondest memories of the wide assortment of unfamiliar enemies in the first. The occasional human boss was well-timed; and it added to the atmosphere to no end to enter an ancient, mysterious area, full of mysterious creatures and otherwise.
