The designer's comments to the Tomb Raider Anniversary level The Coliseum, which is the second Greece level.
The designers comment about the original Tomb Raider 1 game and what's changed between the remake, TR Anniversary, and how Toby Gard messed up with the whole Greek/Roman thing, once again. =)

i havent played this yet im playing tomb raider 3 now and im going in order but the

underworld controls seem a bit stiff

[lkjkorn19]

Well TR3 is a great game ;) I'm glad that you're playing it

[Adnamra]

LOL so diferent between the both...but i always had the idea that the tomb raider 1 had always more paths to go on, not so fast that anniversary is

[lkjkorn19]

Good observation. The designer's comments state throughout the game that they've removed a lot of confusing labyrinths / puzzles. I guess that's good, but a certain feel to the game isn't present anymore.

[Adnamra]

yeah, exactly. Its cool being fast, i mean, you can finish the game quicker if you are a little bored of jumping around and stuff. But doesn't feel like playing the game like it was before 10 years ago. Even you have noticed too that, the fewer puzzles that anniversary has, they are easier. I remember being stuck sometimes because of the puzzles or someways to get throw things, now looks easier. But this is maybe because we have better graphics and can see crearly things? lol

[lkjkorn19]

That could be; Also their technology - they were limited with what they could do, so I bet (I've never played TR1) you need some imagination to really understand what's going on, lol.

Perhaps it's quite dark as well? I know TR2 and TR3 have some dark spots where you see zilch.

Everytime I play this level I wonder: How the hell did these animals survive for hundreds of years in there???

[EmeraldGekko]

mabye thihocan gave them the power of imortality- etheir that or pieere set them free from affrica to Greece.

just a guess.

sounds like thous guys have super-shitty attitude towards Tomb Raider. No wonder the remake turned out to be such shitty game and had no feel to it like the original had.

[Iruparazzo]

hahahahaha uhhuh, i've wondered that since tr1

[AdolescentTree]

And they say video games aren't educational! LOL

[sweetxrapturedxlight]

What's even stranger than having a coliseum in Greece is the fact that its inside/behind the folly of St. Francis!

[heller4u]

Hahah! They are funny!
