She's back! Action heroine Lara Croft returns in this impressive action adventure game from Eidos. Once again, the world's most famous "grrrl gamer" must jump, swim, climb, and shoot her way through numerous challenges. There are five locations and 15 massive levels to explore, including the South Pacific, India, London, Antarctica, and Area 51. Unlike previous games in the series, this version lets you visit any of the gaming areas in any order you prefer. This change enables beginning players to immediately appreciate the diverse gaming environments and designs of different levels that have captivated advanced gamers for the duration of the popular series. Unlike most action shooting games, Tomb Raider 3 requires a heavy dose of puzzle solving. In fact, fast reflexes and shooting skills are probably less important than your ability to figure out the best way to unlock the secrets that will advance your entry into new and hidden areas. With clever gameplay and eye-opening 3-D graphics, the third entry in the Tomb Raider series significantly advances the quality of one of the strongest franchises in the history of video games. --Brett Atwood

Summary: Still a 4 star game, but is better...
Comment: Yes, the game hasn't changed enough to make it to 5 stars, but there are new ups and downs:Ups:
Improved graphics. New enemies. Better stages.
Here's the big one (...) *Drool*. I spent about half an hour just turning her around. *goggle*. Downs:
Um, no other improvements

Summary: The worst of the TR trilogy.
Comment: To be fare, Eidos was trying to be innovative and original with it's levels and puzzles and that feature where you choose where to go next. But it seems to be at the cost of the story and level ideas. The graphics are no better than in TR2, the levels are too tedious, the levels have boring themes and the story is just pathetic. And worst of all is that in many levels you come across blurring where they seem to have missed out some of the graphics, which is plain careless. Other than that though. TR3 does have some interesting puzzles and additions which prevent it from being a 1 star game. Don't bother, I'd say. Get the first and second TR games instead.

Summary: One of the better TR.
Comment: Tomb Raider 3, is very much like the others. The movement is the same, ect. But, I found this one to be one of the more enjoyable. Once again you are able to go to Lara's House, but there's more to do, and one could spend hours finding the secrets, and exploring it. Otherwise, though, I hasn't really changed, and while the plot is pretty linear, it's still a cool game.

Summary: Tomb Raider 3
Comment: Die-hard TR fans will be caught somewhere between thrilled and irritated once again. The graphics improve, but Laura still deserves a face that doesn't look like it was chisled, and, considering her...uh..physical attributes, you would think this might be an issue. Game play is difficult to desperate. A sequence near the end must be performed exactly and with perfect timing, otherwise you get blown up or burn up...nearly impossible without a level skip (which defeats the whole purpose anyway). Puzzles are first-rate, if somewhat disjointed. Half the fun of TR has always been the incredible sights you behold as you enter new areas, and this one won't disappoint. Weapons are much improved, and the choice of where you head next is a neat idea, but doesn't add to a storyline. Plus, once you're there, you stay until you complete it. Unfortunately, many levels require you wandering around aimlessly searching for a lever, or some other piece of a puzzle...and that can be a bit boring. Other areas require such precise timing that you need to save just prior to the sequence because I'll guarantee you'll be performing the same sequence quite a few times until you hit it perfect. Eidos really needs to work on this area badly...TR should be more of a problem-solver than a run/jump/shoot venu and, although it fits part of the adventure, it gets tedious and a bit distracting at times. If you have any problem with hand/eye coordination, this game is gonna be a nightmare. A request for more mind-boggling and less finger-cramping would be in order. Although Laura is a loner, future games would be nice with some interaction during the game. Several strong-performing RPG's have realized this over the past couple of years and Eidos would do Laura a great justice to include some choices that would have different impacts on the final outcome. Anyway, TR fans, a review probably won't stop or force you to buy this chapter. Much better than TR2, not as fresh as the original, it has enough to challenge you. Trouble is, it's like a soda without the fizz...you can swallow it, but you know somethings missing...

Summary: Travel to London,Nevada and the South Pacific.
Comment: This game kicks some serious butt. You take Lara Croft to hell and beyond. An ok story line and a lot like 2 and gold but still tons of devilish fun. The best weapon in this tomb raider are the uzi's!
