    My biggest gripes against the game are the tricky camera and the horrible and frequent swimming bits. The interface is also somewhat clunky interface but, outside of these three issues, I had a lot of fun.

    While Emperor's Tomb has a few control issues that will take some time to get used to, the game's fast pace definitely makes for an interesting adventure.

    Though it's no classic tale, Emperor's Tomb has both actioning and adventuring in spades, whisking you off on a gorgeous cross-continental tour of exotic locales. [June 2003, p.68]

    Provides solid 3D platforming action with some panache - and the occasional little graphics glitch. [June 2003, p.94]

    Rather than approaching the controls from a PC-centric point of view, the developers seemed to be trying to graft the Xbox's analog stick control-pad system directly onto a mouse and keyboard setup.

    Despite the occasionally clunky controls, Emperor’s Tomb does impress with its hand-to-hand brawls (Ms. Croft would be lost without HER weapons) and the free-range exploration allowed within each level.

    It gets the feel of the character right, and while the levels and controls can become annoying at times, most of the gameplay - particularly when fighting - is entertaining. [July 2003, p.82]

    To put it short, the story is interesting, the soundtrack is perfect, the graphics great, the controls are fine. The only minus I found wasTo put it short, the story is interesting, the soundtrack is perfect, the graphics great, the controls are fine. The only minus I found was that Indiana's movements were sometimes "sudden" and not very smooth. Other than that it's a very entertaining game, even in 2015.… Full Review »

    If you could save the game any time, i think the game would be to easy. I love the game... Have played it 3-4 times.

    Again, I would say Awesome! I agree that the no mid point saving is a hassel, but overall it's pretty cool.
