Not another Tomb Raiders?

I thought this game would have been as cool as the other tomb raiders p.1 and 2. This one was a disappointment for me. Especially because the game keept crashing my computer. I do have a new computer, but the thing kept crashing it. I think Tomb Raiders 1 was much better than this one.

This game is excellent!

Of all the TR games I've played thus far, TR3 is the best! It is wicked hard, long, but doesn't leave you feeling board! There's enough action to keep even Arnold hooked! With huge levels, detailed scenery and an exceptional design, Laura can do just about anything in this game; ride an ATV, (by far the coolest thing yet), an underwater propulsion unit, a kayak, boat, mine cart and new moves that are so awesome! Explore all sorts of worlds including the awesome city tops of London in the pouring rain! This game is NOT for the inexperienced player. There are many cases during levels where the slightest nook, or crevice could lead to your freedom, but they are very difficult to find and/or get to. But don't give up.

Few Tasks Too Many

Yes, I did find this a bit cumbersome. I wanted a more puzzle oridented game. I kept getting stuck in seemingly absurd situations and go to a walk-through forum to make progress. One of the comforts is that a cheat code can take you to the next level, if you get frustrated through not being able to figure out some trick to advance. Lara is a great character. But in this game she is faced with too many obstacles and impossible-to-discover secrets to make the game truly enjoyable.

EXTREMELY challenging!!

Tomb Raider 3 is the hardest of the Tomb Raider series (at least in my opinion). It has a very complicated plot, decent graphics, and a moderate amount of action--although I have not completed it myself. It could use more action and less puzzles, however. The biggest problem with it that I've faced is that it has a lot of bugs and errors throughout. Some errors can be fixed without a lot of hassle, others can be fixed but with a lot of hassle, and some can't be fixed at all. Myself, I don't have a lot of patience, I just play the game because I love challenges. So, unless you have a LOT of patience, or enjoy tough challenges like I do, TR3 is not for you.

You Better Use Your Head... A LOT

I'm a big fan of the Tomb Raider Series, and this game is overall I think a good addition. The levels in this game are HUGE. New moves will help you travel through them. The new graphics, vehicles, and textures make great eye candy for any gamer. My main criticism is about the game difficulty, though. An adjustable difficulty level would have been good for both the beginner and expert alike. The game isn't hard in terms of enemies, well, actually it is, but much less a threat than the traps and puzzles you have to solve. They're downright DIABOLICAL. A strategy guide is strongly recommended. Let someone else do all of the dirty work and all you have to do is follow along(but it's still hard, mind you).

Is it good for children?

I don't reccomand it for children, it is a very violent game.

Have you ever sat for hours playing one particular video game and you can never find out what to do? This is one of those games. Although it does hold a great assortment of fun weapons and great graphics, but it's hard. You don't just go around firing guns at everything. Although I did not like the first Tomb Raider either, only because many of the enviroments looked exactly the same though. They both are good games but if your not willing to put a lot of time into video games and just play for fun like me, your not going to like this one.

This game could also be entitled "tomb raider to the excess"

This game is very entertaining, but also very frustrating at times. You have to solve some of the puzzles through trial and error even if you are very observant. Sometimes you just don't know where to go or what to do. This is in part due to the size of the levels-they are huge. However the game has more pros than cons. This game is very beautiful and big. There are 5 vehicles for you to ride in, and Lara has more weapons and outfits than in previous games. She has several new moves-duck/crawl, monkeyswing and sprint. The enemy AI is also improved, most notable in the Nevada levels. The game has a secret level for you to access if you found at least 59 secrets. The secrets in this game are a lot like in tomb raider 1, it is however hard to find them and some require straying from your path completely. The plot is easy to follow and a rather interesting one for a game like this. The game is non-linear. You can do the middle levels any order you like. There are pros to choosing one level over the other though. All in all this game is rather good as are others in the series.

Only for Lara fans!

For the hardcore fans of the Tomb Raider series(myself included), this game will be a real treat 'cause Lara Croft returns with new adventures in such strange places like Area 51 and Antarctica. I recommend this game because it stands out from the rest of this series with bigger and beautifully rendered worlds that provide lots of entertaining moments, and it also has two new moves for Lara such as the cool monkey swing and a crawl feature which makes it a more challenging game. But I also have to say that this is a complicated game and for some of those big worlds you'll definitely need to use a strategy guide or you'll get lost and eventually irritated by this game. For those who weren't thrilled by the other games in this series I advise you to stay away from this one because you'll find out that it's "more of the same" and for the uninitiated this game should be a great way to inmerse yourselves into the phenomenon that is Lara Croft and the Tomb Raider games.

cool
