Tomb Raider III: Adventures of Lara Croft - DE

The intrepid archaeologist Lara Croft travels to India in search of a legendary stone that once belonged to the Infada tribe. Shortly after recovering the gem, she meets Dr Willard, the head of an organisation called RX Tech. Willard is interested in an ancient Polynesian city built by people of a now-vanished civilisation who worshipped a mysterious meteorite that struck Earth millions of years ago. Willard tells Lara that the Infada Stone is in fact one of four artefacts that the ancient Polynesians crafted from the material found at the meteorite’s core. Willard suggests that Lara search for the other three, scattered and hidden across various regions of the planet. It looks like another dangerous adventure awaits the fearless “tomb raider”!

Tomb Raider III: Adventures of Lara Croft is an action game with platforming and puzzle elements. The gameplay system is similar to that implemented in the previous game. Lara’s abilities include running, jumping, climbing, swimming, rolling, crouching, crawling, sprinting, and swinging on poles and vines. This instalment adds several new types of hazards, including cold water, in which Lara can only swim for a limited time, dangerous underwater creatures (such as piranhas), and treacherous quicksand, which swallows the heroine if the player isn’t careful and quick enough to stop her falling in.

As in the previous game, Lara uses pistols, shotguns, harpoon guns, Uzis and grenade launchers to defend herself. New weapons include the Desert Eagle, the MP5 submachine gun and the rocket launcher. Some levels are designed so that stealth is the preferred solution, rather than engaging enemies directly in combat. Unlike the previous games, the player can tackle the levels in any order, following on from the introductory India scenario.

The player can save the game at any time in both the PC and PlayStation versions; in the latter case, however, the number of saved games depends on the amount of Save Crystals Lara has collected during her journey.
