Fun But Extremely Frustrating.
First off, Lara Croft has to be the greasest female gaming hero ever created. Even though this is my first installment of the popular Tomb Raider series, I relate to Lara Croft and feel like I've known her for years. Call me crazy, but that's how it is. Right now, I have a love-hate relationship with this game. I like the scenery and I like Lara, but the problem I have with this game is it's too darn FRUSTRATING. I bought this game for a bargain price ... and I thought I would enjoy it. I had heard a lot about this series in the past, so I figured I would try it. The first level was excellent. It was suspenseful and beautiful and interesting all at the same time. I was blown away. But then I don't know what happened. The frustration level sky-rocketed from a 1 to a 10! The Temple Ruins was nearly impossible to figure out without an Internet walkthrough.I spent weeks trying to escape from a pool with a dangerous current that kept sucking me into a wall of spikes. I soon learned the nessecity of saving a game. I pity Playstation owners, who can't save without getting a green crystal. Since then, I haved needed a walkthrough with every level of the game. I don't think this is the way you should play a game. It should be fun and exciting, new and fresh. The huge level design is beautiful, but it also makes you baktrack constantly to pull a certain lever or push a button, another fist- pounding frustration. I've killed Lara hundreds of times, and I'm tired of it!The puzzles shouldn't be as hard as they are! And ALWAYS, ALWAYS save before making a jump. If you're even slightly off center, you'll go plummeting to your death. I still haven't finished the game, and I must commend the people who do. I think this is one of those games that is designed with a strategy guide in mind. It's a genuine nesessity. So overall, if you're in the mood for a dazzling action-adventure or are a hard-core Tomb Raider fan, then buy this game....

This game could also be entitled "tomb raider to the excess"
This game is very entertaining, but also very frustrating at times. You have to solve some of the puzzles through trial and error even if you are very observant. Sometimes you just don't know where to go or what to do. This is in part due to the size of the levels-they are huge. However the game has more pros than cons. This game is very beautiful and big. There are 5 vehicles for you to ride in, and Lara has more weapons and outfits than in previous games. She has several new moves-duck/crawl, monkeyswing and sprint. The enemy AI is also improved, most notable in the Nevada levels. The game has a secret level for you to access if you found at least 59 secrets. The secrets in this game are a lot like in tomb raider 1, it is however hard to find them and some require straying from your path completely. The plot is easy to follow and a rather interesting one for a game like this. The game is non-linear. You can do the middle levels any order you like. There are pros to choosing one level over the other though. All in all this game is rather good as are others in the series.

EXTREMELY challenging!!
Tomb Raider 3 is the hardest of the Tomb Raider series (at least in my opinion). It has a very complicated plot, decent graphics, and a moderate amount of action--although I have not completed it myself. It could use more action and less puzzles, however. The biggest problem with it that I've faced is that it has a lot of bugs and errors throughout. Some errors can be fixed without a lot of hassle, others can be fixed but with a lot of hassle, and some can't be fixed at all. Myself, I don't have a lot of patience, I just play the game because I love challenges. So, unless you have a LOT of patience, or enjoy tough challenges like I do, TR3 is not for you.
