Tomb Raider III

Tomb Raider III


(Platinum)
] is a mini-sequel to "Tomb Raider III", sometimes unofficially called "Tomb Raider III Gold". It was released exclusively for PC in 2000. Unlike the expansion packs for the first two games, this was sold as a standalone product rather than as part of a re-release, and was not available for free download for existing owners.

In "The Lost Artefact", Lara learns of the existence of a fifth meteorite artefact called the Hand of Rathmore. She begins her investigations at the castle of Dr. Willard in the Scottish highlands, progresses to exploring the Channel Tunnel in Dover and then ultimately ends up in the catacombs of Paris, where she is confronted by Sophia Leigh.

Reception

Tomb Raider III received generally good reviews. Some reviewers commented that gameplay had not changed a lot but still praised the game, saying it had "In-depth gameplay, good graphics and an established, unique theme." [http://www.itreviews.co.uk/games/g25.htm] IGN commented the levels show "Real thought and Insight from designers" and praised the new vehicles but expressed frustration that the control system had still not improved. [http://uk.pc.ign.com/articles/160/160338p1.html] "Absolute Playstation" praised the game, saying it surpassed the previous two instalments, complimenting Lara's new abilities and moves, also saying the save system was an improvement from the previous games. [http://www.absolute-playstation.com/api_review/rtr3.htm] Gamespot praised the game, saying it will provide "hours of fun" but also stating that if players want "something new" they will have to "look elsewhere". [http://uk.gamespot.com/pc/action/tombraider3/review.html] The game is generally considered the best of the original trilogy of Tomb Raider games, but reviewers consistently commented gameplay hadn't changed a lot from the original Tomb Raider game.

Music

The "main themes" from the first three games share similar instrumentation, although the melodies themselves are slightly different in each game. The main instruments used are strings, harps and woodwinds. As Lara is British, the classic scores sound similar to Gaelic instrumental songs, giving the game an atmosphere of adventure, fantasy and ancient mystery.
