Tomb Raider III: Adventures of Lara Croft (PlayStation)

For those new guys & girls on the block who have only just entered the Tomb Raider cult franchise then this game is the best of the whole Lara Croft Series. The game is vast with an improved games engine, better rendering of sound & graphics; improved "feel" or atmosphere within the game's settings and a much more controllable & flexible Lara Croft. Other improvements include better weaponary, wide choice of exciting vehicles to try out, including quad-bikes, canoes and dinghies. Even some of her enemies are bestowed with artificial intelligence, so aren't quite so easy to shoot down & kill as ... more

I played and nearly completed Tomb Raider I played and never got near the finish of Tomb Raider 2 This is mainly because I get bored quickly with games that don't hold my interest..and watching my ex-girlfriends brother whip through both the above killed my interest in completing them myself. So, in the recent Boxing Day sales I noticed that Tomb Raider 3 was a tenner and The Last Revelation was £12..so I couldn't help myself! I am only up to the London level and I can tell you right now that this is one hardened ball of Lara Croft gaming. The first one flowed nicely, puzzles were never over ... more

Tomb Raider 3 is superb in every possible way. It has been updated a lot from the previous installments. I have have got Tomb Raider and have played the demo for the sequel and the leap is incredable. First of all Lara is looking better than ever with smoother graphics slicker animation and new move. She gets new outfits depending on missions and if you jump in the fire in her house you even go on fire! The bad guys are even better than before not only can you kill a wide amount of animals like tigers, snakes and vultures but you get to shoot humans as well which may seem sadistic but adds ... more

Being a tomb raider fan, this is my third opinion and i will be writing one for each of the games. I was very excited about this one when it came out since i had recieved a free demo of half of level one and it looked like a good start. I liked the concept of traveling to different areas in the world to complete different sections of the mission. Some of the badies in this one are particulaly tough, and the new added feature of swimming in freezing water make this different. However the complexity of puzzles was greatly reduced. I am a tomb raider fan because of the puzzles and not for the ... more

Tomb Raider 3 is obviously the third game in the series featuring Lara Croft. This game came out in 1998 and the graphics are so much better than the first two. The images of Lara her self are much more rounded and pleasing to the eye and the decorations in the background of the scenes in the game are really good. The game play covers a much bigger area so there are lots of places to explore and sometimes you find goodies hidden around the place where you wouldn't think of looking. I have the game for the Play Station 1 so this is what I am reviewing. The save games are back to the blue ... more
