Summary

The youngest of the versions available, the Playstation Tomb Raider is almost indistinguishable from its elder PC and Saturn siblings. Aside from the slight slow-down when things get REALLY busy, the game moves at a smooth rate with an admirable draw distance. Polygon crunching is minimal, and the whole game plays just as well as the slightly faster Saturn version.
