PLEASE NOTE ONLY THE GAME DISC IS SUPPLIED INSIDE A BLANK COVER Something that is different about this game is its location. Instead of the game taking place in locations all around the world, as seen in the previous games, it sticks with the one location, Egypt. This allows for a much more interesting plot. The graphics are exactly what you will see in the previous games if you are playing the psx version, however if you are playing the other versions you will see much more detailed textures, better lighting, and real time shadows. This creates for better realism. The psx version is what you would expect, meaning alot of pixelization and not a great draw in distance. The levels through out the game do look good though and add to the atmosphere of the game. Lara also looks pretty detailed as well. You won't see any gaps in her elbow or knees anymore either. Lara returns also with some new moves. The rope swing and corner shimmy being my favorites allow for more intricate puzzles and greater depth in play. The rope swing is hard at times but once you get a hold of it you will do it with ease. She also retains the same moves found in TR 3. The enemies or the lack of are harder then what you will find in the other versions and smarter but there is not a whole deal of them. You usually have to cross alot of the level before encountering one. But when you do encounter them they are usually fun and challenging to get rid of. The story of the game unfolds through in-game-sequences and some spectacular FMV's. This will make your journey with Lara all the more pleasurable. This game offers alot in the way of replay with loads of secrets you can find. It is definitely better then TR3 , and it returns to the much loved roots of TR1. So i would recommend it if your into the whole action/adventure scene and have always wanted to relive the moments of your favorite Indiana Jones flicks. What was once an innovative 3d action game has become a world wide franchise. And with the 3 previous installment of the series, this one comes with hopes for a return to the roots of the original game. Well this game starts out with a short introductory game play sequence where you learn about Lara Crofts past. It is basically a training level. This is an interesting feature but for people who have already played the game or one of the other games its annoying to have to go through the training level every time you want to play the game. That however is a small disappointment. The game then picks up and you are placed into the heart of the action with your pistols and some health packs.
