Tomb Raider III: Adventures of Lara Croft

"The programmers have implemented new lighting and shading techniques which make the graphics dazzling, but the gameplay crap. This game is dark, folks. There's about twice as much darkenss as in the first two installments, and the flares last about half as long. Every single crucial item, switch, or path is shaded so heavily Lara could literally stand right next to it and you won't see it unless you light a flare. Maybe Lara should invest in a flashlight."

"To be fair, Tomb Raider III does sport some advances. As already mentioned, the levels are bigger than ever before; Lara has acquired a few new moves this time out (the monkey swing being the most fun); and the game's cinematic cutscenes are better. But apart from the improved graphics, it would take a well-trained eye to distinguish Tomb Raider III from the earlier installments."
