However, because I loved this game so much and because it is a very old game, I will accept these errors and they aren't really a serious problem once you master it. The camera angles are a pain, and its lack of save feature will probably have you continuously repeating yourself again, because of the difficulty of each level.

The graphics in this game are stunning, but some are a badly pixelated (which may confuse players, by not knowing which rocks/platforms you can and can't stand on). Sometimes the music will give you clues, for example either you have found a hidden area or it will alert you of any dangers ahead. The music, composed brilliantly by Martin Iveson and Nathan McCree, adds an extra feel to this game to make it note perfect. Other weapons are found as you progress through the game (my personal favourite are the Uzis). Using your dual pistols, you must shoot anything that comes after you basically and don't worry about aiming - just point the gun in the direction of a foe and fire until everything is dead. Of course it wouldn't be extra sweet without any combat, oh no you don't think Lara Croft would go through deadly traps, wolves, velociraptors and lions etc without any guns do you. Set in third person perspective, the game has you exploring through caves, coliseums, tombs and pyramids, as well as climbing up rocks, swimming so deep that it's like diving down the deep blue oceans and shimmying along open cracks into secret caves. Imagine you're in a big circular room and you can run all over the place for miles, well this is exactly what Tomb Raider has got. The gameplay has probably got the best I have seen in all my years of gaming. The Scion is split into three pieces and your task is to retrieve those remaining pieces, before the other minions do so. Present day in a Hotel, archaeologist Lara Croft receives a message about a legendary artefact called the Scion, from a wealthy businesswoman called Natla, owner of Natla Technologies. Inside this device appears to be a person who has been frozen in carbonate for many centuries.

The story starts off in New Mexico, where a huge explosion sets off causing an earthquake that exposes an ancient device. If you loved the Indiana Jones films and wanted a game that involved puzzles, challenges, action and adventure, then this game (unlike the terrible Indiana Jones games that were released during the 80s) is the one for you. Back in 1996 there was the dawn of the Playstation, which brought a whole new world into gaming and Tomb Raider (an action/adventure) was a Back in 1996 there was the dawn of the Playstation, which brought a whole new world into gaming and Tomb Raider (an action/adventure) was a taste of that example.
