Eu custei a acreditar que já se passaram quase três anos desde que testei, pela primeira vez, os modos exclusivos da versão para PSP de Legend, as infâmes Tomb Trials. Recentemente, descobri que poderia dar um passo além e finalmente conferir o modo para dois jogadores.
Na verdade, os modos Master System e Treasure Hunt também são compatíveis para dois jogadores, e imagino que sejam mais divertidos quando você compete com um amigo em vez de uma marca de tempo. Minha real curiosidade, porém, recaía sobre Raid 'n Seek, o único dos três modos que não pode ser jogado sozinho.
E a decepção veio, novamente. Em essência, é uma variante simplificada de Treasure Hunt, onde você deve "esconder" seu tesouro e, depois, encontrar o de seu adversário antes que ele encontre o seu. O grande revés é que os níveis são minúsculos e você é limitado aos locais pré-definidos do modo original, então suponho que as partidas sejam sempre rápidas e previsíveis.
Idealmente, eu traria conteúdo em vídeo para melhor exemplificar a funcionalidade deste modo, mas não foi possível, portanto recorri às já tradicionais screenshots.
Vale notar que as duas Laras habitam um único cenário, mas não interagem de forma alguma entre si. Você sempre enxerga a personagem que controla com a vestimenta padrão, enquanto o outro jogador aparece em sua tela usando uma variante exclusiva que não pode ser selecionada de qualquer outra forma.

It took me a while to believe it's been nearly three years since I've tried, for the first time, the PSP exclusive game modes of Legend; the infamous Tomb Trials. Recently, I've discovered I could take one step further and finally check out the two-player modes.
Actually, the Master System and Treasure Hunt modes also support two-player matches, and I'd imagine they're a lot more fun when you're playing against a friend instead of a time stamp. However, I was mostly curious about Raid 'n Seek, the only mode out of the three that requires two players to even be accessed.
And then, disappointment struck, again. Essentially, it's a simplified version of Treasure Hunt, in which you must "hide" your artifact and, later, find your rival's before they can find yours. The big downside is that the level areas are incredibly small and you are limited to pre-defined hiding spots from the original mode, so I'd guess matches are always short and predictable.
Ideally, I would have brought video content to better illustrate this gameplay mode, but it wasn't possible so I went with rather traditional screenshots instead.
It's worth noting that while both Laras share a common playground, they cannot interact with one another in any way. Your character is always using the default outfit, while the second player roaming around your screen will be wearing an exclusive variant that cannot be selected in any other way.
