    Are there any games like tomb raider or drakes fortune (for iPhone)- jungle adventure games? I saw flashback but after reading reviews and watching videos I decided against it.

    Those are action/adventure games, not adventure games. Just FYI on that one.

    Regardless, the closest you'll find to a Tomb Raider or Uncharted style game are games like Dark Raider, or Crystal Caves (I think that's what it's called). Mind you, these aren't really action/adventure games either. Dark Raider is more a multidirectional shooter with some adventure elements, while the other one is more a puzzle adventure - but if you like block puzzles in Tomb Raider, that game comes close.

    Frankly, there aren't many action/adventures of any type on this platform. It's a genre (or hybrid genre in this case) that's sorely lacking. No Tomb Raider, Legend of Zelda, or Metroidvania style adventure games (respectively) for the most part.

    Actually, Flashback is a good choice as it's the closest to those two games you mentioned. That said, it's a port of a very old game and a not-so-hot port at that.

    Actually, Crescent Moon games is going to release Ravensword eventually. The game may seem like an RPG, but it's really not, as there will be almost/no skill system, and no stats. I recommend waiting for that.
