Hi All,

I just got the Anniversary game and I have been trying for hours to do anything right and I'm not even out of the Manor yet! Understand that I have been playing TR since almost the day it came out back in 1996, so I am not new to the game. The problem is, I did games 1 through 5 on the keyboard of my Macs. I am VERY good on the keyboard. Then, #6, 7 and now Anniversary I have for the PS2 and I am like a total idiot with it. I hate using the PS control thing. I much prefer the arrow keys to go fwd, back, side, etc. I never played 6 and only did part of level 1 of Legend just because its SO frustrating for me to do anything right with this controller. Its like the slightest touch on the stick and she's going in circles and I can never get her to line up properly to make jumps.

Does anyone know of a type of controler I could use as an alternative that would like me use the directional arrows instead of the stick? Or can I possibly use a keyboard hooked up to the PS2 USB?

I kid you not, TR is literally the only game I play and I don't play often on the PS so I may never get out of Croft Manor!

Help!

Signed,

Old Dog

Hmm. Only thing I can suggest is to purchase the official PS2 keyboard and see how that flies. You might-could be able to finagle something with a regular keyboard, but I wouldn't know what that would really entail.

Hi

I know you can get a keyboard for the PS2....but I think that is only for games that support it, like multiplayer role playing games. If your having trouble with controlling Lara....use the gym in the Croft Manor to get used to the controls. Also your not in a race against time in playing these games....take the time to make adjustments before making jumps. Just have fun with the game and you'll get a hang of it in no time.

Thanks for replying. I guess for somebody who easily aced the game on keyboard control, this thing is just so frustrating. I figured it would be just as easy. NOT. Anyway, I am practicing in the gym. It took me a long time to get past the first exercise. I'm still on 2 and I think I might be on 2 tomorrow!

This controller is definitely an exercise in Zen. In my real life I am the Queen of patience. I guess I am spoiled. I used to come into my TR world to not have to be patient and just go out and kick butt.

Thanks again.
