Good edition to the Lara Croft series, but with a few bugs.

If you loved Tomb Raider I & II then definitely get this game. Tomb Raider III has the same feel and gameplay as the first to so fans will not be disappointed. The new graphics are great! The new textures are more realistic and such touches as sunbeams and her smoking guns really appeal. On the downside, items are smaller and much harder to spot and identify. Lara's new moves are fun to try out but the crawling feature is a little hard to control at first. As for the new save option, all I can say is get a hint book right away. The weapons cheat will also give you 50 extra save crystals. Trust me, you'll need them.
As for the analog compatabilty, I'm not sure it's worth it. Most of the time it's great and makes the game real fluid, but sometimes when you're backed up into corners or trying to look through windows the screen starts jumping wildly. Also I haven't experienced much vibration at all. I don't think the guys at Eidos really planned for analog the way the creators of Metal Gear Solid did.
All in all, the game is fun, the graphics great, the gameplay the same. It is a good solid edition to the Tomb Raider series, but I'm already looking forward to #4.
Where are the tombs?

This Tomb Raider has the best graphics in the series. The new water and flare effects are great. The dash and monkey bar swing are lots of fun. The non-linear gameplay is a nice bonus. But somehow this game is mising something...TOMBS! Where are the tombs? I did not know that London, England had tombs. I loved the gamplay but it should have been named The Adventures of Lara Croft. All in all a great game worth your hard earned cash, a must buy for any Playstation owner
Eidos has done it again.

This game is cool. The graphics are way better and the levels are more intense. The only thing I don't like is in one of the India levels the piranahs eat you in three seconds.
The best playstation game ever.

Tomb Raider III is the best game ever. The graphics on this game is better than the other two Tomb Raider games. Lara Croft is the perfect character for this game. A woman lead character is exatly what everyone likes to see. Especially a stud-muffin like her.
Tomb Raider 4 Lara needs a face lift?

Umm is it me or has the whole Tomb Raider Series completely plunged into endless non evoling Series? I mean the first one was great and the second was alright but this one was kind of a let down. I mean yea the graphics are great and the gameplay is still pure Tomb Raider and is good but it's NOTHING NEW. That is the problem. After 3 games I think that it's more than past time to do a little over hual and give Lara a new gameplay engine. And well while I'm on it is it me or has Lara stuck so much T&A in our faces that she's starting to look desprate. Get "Duke Nukem Time To Kill" if you want a game of this type that is more enjoyible and has more new features than this. Tomb Raider 3 is Average at best
The English chick is back!

This game is very long. Especially her yabbos. Very complex puzzles make the replay value really high. The textures are much more improved than the second one which used about 200 polygons. In other words, this game rocks. E-mail me for more on this stuff.
It is the best tomb raider so far!!!
