I've answered this question so many times now, and I'm pretty sure my rankings change a little bit every single time...

1. Tomb Raider III
2. Tomb Raider
3. Tomb Raider II
4. The Last Revelation
5. Anniversary
6. Rise of the Tomb Raider
7. Chronicles
8. The Angel of Darkness
9. Legend
10. Shadow of the Tomb Raider
11. Tomb Raider 2013
12. Underworld

This is the first time I've ever ranked TR2 lower than #2. I've finally just accepted the fact that TR1 and 3 do everything better than 2. TR2 may have the best 6-level stretch in the entire series (Tibet and China), but that's not enough to carry the entire game and its big flaws with combat and puzzle scarcity. It's still a great enough game that it rises well above everything below #3, however.

The Last Revelation also seems to be pretty cemented at #4. It's good stuff, but will never really reach the quality of the Top 3 for me.

Anniversary and RotR are proof that Crystal can make good (but not great) TR titles and I won't hear otherwise.

After that, it gets messy. Let's face it, Chronicles is not a good game. Angel of Darkness is definitely not a good game. And Legend is basically a novelty-value side adventure that lacks any kind of substance despite being kind of fun. All three of these titles are not good, but all three maintain the feel of a Tomb Raider game well enough to the point where I will probably replay them in the future.

I'm unclear on where Shadow stands at the moment since I'm in the middle of a playthrough, but so far I'm disappointed.

And then there's TR2013 and Underworld. TR2013 isn't one of the worst games I've ever played, but it has so few redeemable qualities that I really can't see myself picking it up again. Underworld... Underworld is just terrible. There's not a single level of the main game that I could say I really enjoyed. I liked Beneath the Ashes a lot, but it's an XBOX360 EXCLUSIVE. Not a good sign when your DLC one-ups everything in the entire game.

Oh Gosh! This is hard. I haven't played Shadow, but my favorites in the series are probably III, Chronicles, and Angel of Darkness. However, I love the original, II, and TLR as well. Very tough.

1. TRI
2. TRIII
3. TRII
4. TLR
5. C
6. AOD
