In gameplay terms Lara's latest adventures are by far the best... but don't expect an easy ride... I say if you can't stand the heat.... then get out of the jungle.
The AI of Lara's assailants is markedly improved, the level design is ambitious (sometimes overly so) and there are a number of small, yet notable additions to the TR repertoire.
Tomb Raider III is the only game where I give 10 because i have played many games in my life,and unfortunately,nothing gives me the majesty that I feel when I play this masterpiece!!!!!
Even today Tomb Raider III is the best istallment of the whole series. I like the restart of the series, but nothing beats pixel Lara on the first PlayStation. Fresh gameplay and controls - graphics surely are outdated. Overall rating: 8.6.
When in the first-person view, it is occasionally difficult to see what lies on the other side of Lara's back. It would have been helpful if she became transparent while in this mode, instead of making the player struggle with the angle. Fortunately, the instances where this affects gameplay are relatively few.
The sad thing is that Tomb Raider III solves none of its original dilemmas, and as it stands now, the exploration-adventure genre -- one that was revolutionized by Tomb Raider -- is in the exact spot it was two years ago.
A solid game, worth the time of anyone who enjoys a good puzzle/adventure title. Those who lost interest in the series with "Tomb Raider II" may want to give it another look with the third.
If you're fiending for some more Lara, and I mean absolutely jonesin'... then I guess you could pick this one up. For the other 99.9% of us, go play "TR" or "TR2" again or even for the first time. Or better yet, forget about Lara Croft altogether.
Lara comes of age, I missed the time trials and stuff at Croft Manor, but the game play and action were excellent. You really started to feel you were 100% in control. Still not perfect but at the time we had no complaints.
This has better graphics, sound and kinda harder puzzles in my opinion than the first too games... It has more glitches too. I feel like this is a little better than the first game, but I think Tomb Raider 2 is a better game overall... It is a good game, and is fun to be played... just try it. =p
Superb. Very challenging game, great graphics, nice plot, excellent gameplay and amazing sound.
This is the standard of games that should be made, why don't SHs make games like this anymore? A perfect (or almost) game.
Tenía buenas ideas pero está totalmente desenfocado, los tiroteos siguen siendo igual de mediocres después de dos entregas, el plataformeo está diluido y los escenarios son más crípticos que nunca.
Tomb Raider 3 was the beginning of decline of Lara Croft in the "old playstation years". Unlike Tomb 1 that was revolutionary, and Tomb 2 that brought news and new extremely inspired and memorable phases (Venice, Maria Doria ship and mountains of Tibet), Tomb 3 was just "more of the same." Except for the first phase of the India forest and the first phase of the Pacific Ocean beach, the rest of the places to explore are boring and uninspired. London doesn't have the same urban charisma of Venice, and we had already just seen snow in Tibet, when they just decide to bring more levels with snow in the third game. Really? To make matters worse, the game is atrociously difficult - enough to make the experience frustrating instead of funny - and the level design is extremely confusing. Nevertheless, I love the bonus level "The Lost Artifact". If this phase had been included in the original game, in place of Antartica and the Nevada desert, maybe I would have appreciated better Tomb 3. Sorry not Sorry
