    A great continuation of a great adventure series with elements of fantasy and mythology.

Thankfully, the player now as the option to save at any point. The game is still difficult, but dropping the Save Crystals from PSX version helps a lot. Tomb Raider III is a more daring entry in the series. The emphasis on exploration is higher this time around with a well-balanced mix of action. The heavy use of gun fights with human goons from TR2 are lighter this time around. TRIII offers the most diversity out of any Tomb Raider game. From the wider arsenal of weapons (Desert Eagle, Rocker Launcher,etc) , more outfits, new vehicles (quad bike,kayak, etc), new moves like sprinting and crawling, to a variety of larger scaled levels (India, Area 51, London, Tropical island, Antartica). Levels now have multiple paths. The difficulty for this game ranges between intermediate to hard. Environments are more deadly. Traps and Death linger in every corner. Give this game a chance if you are up for a challenge. It's not going to satisfy everyone. TRIII's difficulty has resulted in poor reviews and mixed opinions. Don't let them fool you. Tomb Raider III is a good game that offers more of a challenge and more varitey than others titles in the series. Expand

Tomb Raider 3 has some atrociously hard levels and I don’t believe anyone could complete this game entirely without checking some sort of walk-through for certain parts! I had previously never completed this game when I originally had it for the PS1 as it is so long and so difficult; limiting saves to save crystals was not a wise move for this title at all, fortunately the PC version is save anywhere and I ended up saving the game 450 times, yes that’s really bad. However although it was long, overly difficult and often down right annoying; if you love your Tomb Raider games, you’re going to enjoy it! Expand

The onlyI bought all the games on PS1 while it was on sale, but none of the settings are valid, it takes extra effort to set the controller. The only option for the smoothest and nostalgic state is to play on the PSX emulator. From the first game to the fifth, this option seems to be the most ideal. Expand

    Je ne m’y attendais pas mais cette vieille daube prévue pour 95/98 marche aussi sur XP… y compris en 1080p (1920×1080) ! pas mal pour un jeuJe ne m’y attendais pas mais cette vieille daube prévue pour 95/98 marche aussi sur XP… y compris en 1080p (1920×1080) ! pas mal pour un jeu DirectX6… Hélas, c’est bloqué à 30 im/s… il faudrait trifouiller les fichiers .ini et mettre les mains dans le cambouis pour que cette daube gère la manette 360 correctement, car par défaut, on peut seulement bouger la bécasse… et rien d’autre, aucun bouton ne fonctionne !

    On passe donc au clavier mais aucune commande n’est paramétrable, on n’a le choix qu’entre deux configs, l’une utilisant les touches fléchées, l’autre le pavé numérique… non mais allo quoi, Dumb Raider ! déjà que cette vieile daube est tout aussi injouable que les deux précédentes, alors bonjour les dégâts…

    D’ailleurs, on ne peut pas appeler cette chose un ‘TPS’, non certainement pas, ça ne se joue pas comme tel et en vérité, ça ne se joue pas tout court : tout est pensé (?!?) en dépit du bon sens et même les mouvements et animations sont complètement à l’ouest. Tout comme le ‘game design’ très psycho-rigide, à la fois d’un autre temps et si mal fait qu’on en reste coi, éberlué et consterné : cette merde est injouable !

    Même les menus sont mal faits et à propos, si l’installation est rapide, c’est parce que tout se joue à partir du cd ! malgré la résolution élevée, on se perd comme d’habitude dans des niveaux de psychopathe et on sait bien que 99% des tocards qui ont perdu leur temps sur cette merde, ont fait le jeu en suivant des guides et des solutions qui venaient d’un ou deux développeurs en catimini et incognito.

    Donc, on ne va pas se mentir et affronter la dure réalité : cette vieille daube est un vieux paquet de merde, comme les précédentes et encore celles qui vont suivre, car venant (encore) de Core Design, cette équipe d’incapables, une équipe heureusement disparue depuis le temps !
