1) Anniversary
The puzzles, the music, the mood. Plus: at night! 2) Rise Unique and it fits the general context of the game... ^.^ 3) Underworld = Shadow Story-driven, yet somethings off about them. Maybe I don’t like the Laras in them 4) Legend Not much to do here, and there’s no story going on. Go and retrieve your gears. No. 5) >>> TRI - TRII - TRIII Empty, useless, unnecessarily huge. A creepy butler follows you around and there’s no detail in the tutorials. And why does the manor’s appearance change per annum??? |

I don't understand why this was a console exclusive... I know they were trying to promote the Wii with anniversary like they did with the DS and Legend but damn... |

Too bad it wasn't Wii exclusive, it is present in PSP release aswell.

I love the Rise Manor. Even though not every room was accessible due to the Manor being badly damaged, it felt the most homey to me in terms of structure, decoration and stuff. I also enjoyed the storyline. Probably overall my favorite part of Rise. There was so much potential. The ending of Blood Ties made me think that the manor would obviously be included in Shadow from the beginning but oh well, we know how that ended.

TR3 looking for the key for the quadbike track was fun, and so is shooting winston in his soldier costume But they ****ed up the assault course with the shooting range section, I could never do it properly. so that was better in TR2.

It's not actually the same, though. Crystal took inspiration from the film manor but the layout is completely different which came back to bite them because their interior layout is not compatible with the Hatfield House exterior which they used for Underworld.

While I haven't actually played it and have only seen Gameplay footage, the SOTTR Manor is absolutely stunning.
The TR2 Manor is my favourite, and is the one I would most like to live in, while the TR3 Manor is an absolute garish eyesore. |

Tomb Raider III Manor. I've spent so many hours when I was a kid I really feel is somehow part of my home.

It’s creepy and kooky and all together spooky Oh wait.. we’re talking about TR. I think the TR3 had the best manor. |

TR3 - lots and lots of exploring, secret areas, puzzles, a quad to ride. And nostalgia for me.
TRL - Beautiful and complemented with relaxing music, lots to explore, funny banter between Lara/Zip/Alister TRA - Nice music. Didn't love the restrictiveness of exploring the manner, though some parts I suppose were a challenge. TR2 - Like TR3 but with a lot less to do. TR1 - Not much at all to do, and no way of exploring outside without cheats TRU - It was on fire (I guess the cutscene was cool) |
