BaldBob, after about a dozen tries for this relic, I finally gave up!

Thanks for the advise BaldBob. I'll let you know if I make it.

Cathy1, I was going to wait on the PS2 version also but I got a great buy on the PC version on ebay for less than $20. so I couldn't resist. But I may still get the PS2 version to see what its like, maybe the motorcylce controls will be a little easier for me, although I'm getting better with them. I'm going to check out Stellas site for the walkthrough to be sure that I can get past any bugs in the game for the PS2 version.

BaldBob, Great suggestion for the timed puzzle.
I just memorized the left right left straight stuff and what I saw at each intersection (such as the entrance, etc) and did a lot of trial runs. It's really a tuffie.

HI Marie
My computer won't run the game. Not enough oomph. I loved all the other Tomb Raider games so I'm hoping this one will be great also.

Cathy

Hi Cathy, I know what you mean about computer oomph, mine just makes the requirements and sometimes kicks up a fuss. This one is sure to please, no Boss fights and March isn't too far off. I played the last two (Legend and Anniversary on PS2) I enjoyed them with the exception of the Boss fights which my grandchildren helped me with.

I am in the Jan Mayen Island Level and had trouble with the motorcycle run down the circular path with holes to the door! I made it to the bottom 3 times and died when those 4 creatures attacked me. In 2 of my runs I actually went over the side of one of the holes and landed at the bottom but didn't die. Lost a lot of health though and I think that's way I died so quickly when I got attacked.

Whenever I saw the wraiths, I stopped the motorcycle and got off to kill them with the shotgun. I think the 4 at the bottom killed me the first time too.

Hi Everyone, I just shot the first one and kept on around the spiral, being sure to keep to the left and go up and over those little ledges and you can bump into the pieces that stick out and still get around but keep your speed up over the ledges and let off a little at the piece that sticks out and at the bottom just run over all the wraiths, that kills them, because its to hard to deal with so many of them by hand, you will probably get killed. to all of You!

I'm on the giant tower working my way to the top. I love this game!

Hi Gerry, Yeh! its really a blast, I loved it too.

I just started another game on this new computer I just built. I put in a high end graphics card and the game just plays and looks awesome!

That's great Dradvr! Enjoy!

Nice!!! Enjoy the game dradvr!!!

I'm trying playing in the most difficult mode this time. I'm really going to try to get all of the treasures too!

Way to go, gals!

I'm playing in easy mode the first time and so far I've been able to get all but one treasure. I missed the one that was underwater near the beginning of the game on the way back to the boat. Couldn't go back for it because it went to a video and into the next Level.
My last save was to far back in the game so I didn't go back. I'm looking forward to playing this one again in "hard" mode.

Hi Gerry,
Since you done playing the game, start the game use the "Treasure Hunt" to pick up any items you have missed. "Treasure Hunt" should appear after the game is completed and just click on that then what the scene comes up use the TAB to go to "Revisit Location" then find the location in the list and click on it to go back to that area, that's all there is to it. Enjoy!

Marie

Thanks Marie!

You know what is missing from this TR, that was in the other two I played (Legend and Anniversary)? A "Play the Cutscenes" option. I love that. They spent innumerable hours and, likely, millions of dollars to animate those scenes. You'd think they would be glad to have us play them over-and-over (like I would) without having to play thru the whole section/game again. I really miss it. Anyone know of a download to play them?

Is any of this stuff on youtube what you're looking for?

Thanks for that info Marie. I will definitely try to get the treasure I missed. I finished the Tower and am now ready to make the timed run thru the tunnel on the bike. I'll let you know if and when I make it!

Go get 'em Gerry

Hi Gerry, Ok,

BaldBob,I also missed seeing those cutscenes, here's what I found on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/results?search_ty...ider+underworld

Well I finally gave in and got this game and, so far, and really pleased with the controls and think the graphics are fantastic. I'm just starting Mexico and see what was meant in earlier comments about the motorcycling. It is really clumsy for me and I can't attain much speed without bumping into everything.

Am dreading the timed run that has been talked about and, knowing me, will probably have to resort to a "Stella" save.

So far though, I have been able to manage which is an improvement over my performance in TR Anniversary.

oldman are you playing in the "easy" mode? That can really help if you have trouble with the controls.
