True, the previous two titles had some of the same elements, but here's how they differ. The latter is (so far) the most pathetic example of game design. Trying to kill a boss while jumping around little islands in a fire pit? Check, check, and double check.

Trust me, you've seen this game before in a million inferior platformers. The biggest problem in this game is that the designing team confused challenging gameplay with irritating gameplay.

I've tried to like it, forced myself to like it, but, for all intents and purposes, 40 monkeys and a game developing kit could've done a superior job. It offers very little in terms of innovation or decent gameplay. Although it looks and plays very similar to TR2, this newest installment has lost all its soul. Now that the new stuff is out of the way, there's really no other way to describe Tomb Raider 3 other than to say it's an inferior game in an otherwise solid series. Lara also has a larger arsenal that includes the trusty shotgun, a rocket launcher, a grenade launcher, the silly harpoons, an MP5, and Uzis, of course. These she can use to get into tight places and to give her a speed-burst in combat.

Lara benefits from two new moves, crawling and dashing. Quicksand will also suck Lara down to a watery grave if you don't watch your step. Snakes and darts are able to poison Lara, meaning she'll continue to lose life until a medipack is used. Keeping in the tradition of the series, however, the soundtrack is mostly silence with the occasional ambient tune.įirst off, some added features of Tomb Raider 3: The levels are much larger with huge areas to explore. The aural experience has been changed and adds new walking and weapon effects. Visually, the game takes advantage of 3D accelerator cards, allowing for advanced lighting and special effects as well as varied colors and textures. The Croft mansion returns, with larger rooms, a shooting range and a personal gym. To help you find all these things, Lara can now crawl, sprint, and perform monkey swings. Levels are less linear in this adventure and feature a total of 59 secrets and a number of short cuts.

Over the course of the game, players will have the option to control vehicles such as a quad bike, a kayak, a cart, and an underwater propulsion unit. Tomb Raider III reveals the heroine in four different outfits that change depending on her mission, ranging from her usual attire to a new cat suit and winter jacket. Lara can deal with these creatures thanks to a range of weaponry, including dual pistols, a shotgun, grenades, a rocket launcher, a harpoon gun, and flares. In her travels, Lara Croft will come across and battle hordes of enemies including monkeys, snakes, and even dinosaurs. Lara Croft returns in Tomb Raider III: Adventures of Lara Croft, an adventure game featuring 19 levels set throughout India, London, Nevada, the South Pacific, and Antarctica.
