Although minor improvements have been made, it's still all too easy to lose your perspective. One would have thought by now that Eidos would have taken care of the sometimes shoddy camerawork used abundantly throughout the other games. This may be due more in part to keyboard functionality than the character herself, thus a gamepad or joystick of some sort is definitely recommended over the use of the keyboard.Īnother recurring problem with the Tomb Raider series is the camera movement. For example, there are times she won't turn in the direction you might want her to and she's somewhat stubborn in terms of jumping. The most difficult parts of the game are, without a doubt, the puzzles as some of them force you to really think "outside of the box." Figuring them out and advancing to the next part of the level is definitely not as easy as some puzzles found in past games.Īs in previous games, there are some quirks in controlling Lara Croft's movements that shouldn't come as a surprise to veterans of the series.
Tomb Raider: The Lost Artifact, in the tradition of other Tomb Raider games, requires you to solve puzzles, explore and kill enemies.
The first part of the game, in fact, features a beautifully rendered prison setting, complete with jail guards and dogs that must be taken out by Lara Croft. Lara Croft still stars in the title role, of course, and her actions as she jumps, dives, crawls, climbs and swims through the game add a sense of "been there, done that" to the experience.Ĭonversely, some portions of Tomb Raider: The Lost Artifact seem new and inspired.
Tomb Raider: The Lost Artifact is the re-worked version of Tomb Raider III: The Adventures of Lara Croft and includes enhancements to the original game as well as the addition of five new levels.
