Borrowing from the exploration theme of film’s like Indiana Jones, Tomb Raider 3 is your chance to get dirty and take on the baddies yourself. If you’ve never played this series of games, you’re in for a treat. There has been a lot of thought and planning involved to create an interactive epic adventure of this magnitude. Tomb Raider 3 feels like you’re taking the lead of a film.

What makes this game interesting is the many different skills that Lara possesses and how she can use these abilities to interact with the 3D environments. Lara can climb, jump, roll and even swan dive her way through the levels. Tomb Raider has a lot of puzzle solving elements that will get your brain thinking. Sometimes, when you solve a puzzle, you realise the answer has been staring you in the face the whole time.

Graphically, Tomb Raider 3 is astounding thanks to high-end performance of today’s 3D accelerator cards. Just look at the resolution displayed in the screenshots.
