I almost didn't buy this game because of the bad reviews...Feb 22, 2000

After completing TR1 and TR2 I thought I'd like to buy TR3, so I checked out the reviews. It was about 50/50...half said it was great, half said it "sucked". I contemplated and decided to buy it anyway, and have not regretted it since. The game is a lot of fun. The only complaints I have had with it are the camera angles at times make it difficult to see what you're doing. Also, on one location (London), I found each level (there are 4) to be "over-burdened"...by that I mean there was so much to do and all of it was rather difficult and I became frustrated. However, the excitement and fun of the rest of the areas made up for that frustration 100%. One of the great parts of this game is you get to choose the different levels you'd like to go. If you like the Tomb Raider series, then you'll find this game gives you a lot of hours of enjoyment. It's not easy, but it's not impossible either. The difficulty is what makes the game challenging and fun. I hope this helps make up for some of the bad reviews you've read and helps you make up your mind whether or not to buy it.

Too exactingNov 24, 1999

I LOVE the Tomb Raider series, and while I found the locations, music, and puzzles greatly improved in TRIII, I was sorely disappointed by the difficulty of play. This game expects movements to be absolutely EXACT, which means you can play a particular jump about fifteen times without getting it just right, and thus dying or having to repeat a long series of actions. There is one puzzle which requires timing that is, and I mean this, virtually impossible to do. Hoard your save game gems for this kind of use.

Five Star Quality But Impossibly HardJan 13, 2000

I completed the first two Tomb Raider games, and was impressed with the improvements in Tomb Raider III. The games in the TR series are easily the best video games I have ever played. Here, the levels are unbelieveably complex and beautiful, even in comparison to TR I and II. Also, I found quite interesting and challenging the "save gem" strategy -- which has been fundamentally altered from the first two games -- in that you collect save gems, and can use them at any time, but you only have a limited amount. Those good things being said, I give the game a mediocre rating simply because it is impossibly hard, even with a walkthrough telling you what to do. In fact, I finally said enough's enough and gave up on the game about half the way through. There literally is one incredibly difficult situation to solve followed one after the other. The game needed better pacing, with easier stretches to complete in between the tough ones, so you at least have the sense that you are moving along.

Good edition to the Lara Croft series, but with a few bugs.Dec 03, 1998

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.

Not the best to begin the series with.Jan 21, 2006
By Jan Poelkamp
This is my fav Tomb Raider game (the 1st is a close 2nd), but.... It's way too hard for people just starting with the series. You really have to check out all of your options, because secrets are often irretrievable once you passed a certain point (The level River Ganges even has 2 alternative routes, one of which makes you miss out on a secret!) and in other points you really start to think the makers of this game are a sadistic bunch hellbent on annoying the hell out of you.
Some, in retrospect fairly easy, moves kept me occupied for hours. But, all in all, a game isn't a game if it isn't challenging. And this game is challenging to the max!
