Nice. I like this level, but I never got why Lara pulls the two switches outside the rooms before you go to the wall puzzle in TRA.

Well the only thing it does is make the stairs go up, so you can get back easily I guess. Which however, isn't really needed, so I don't really get it either.

that one guy says "a sort of" too often XD

i think all the people who hate tomb raider anniversary and say that i sucks should watch these videos bacause then they would unserstand what the designers were thinking while making this game -.-

The main thing that ruined the game for me was the overabundance of greyness. The Egyptian levels in particular suffered the most as in the original the sands were a strong yellow and the plant life was a strong green and even the walls were yellow with black patterns on. This really gave the levels a sense of warmth. Also they took away the fall into the water chamber on this level ruining the surprise.

Reading through these comments reminded me of how much I hate Tomb Raider's fanbase. It's like every asspie who is not a Sonic fan is a Tomb Raider nerd instead.

The Anniversary was nice, but why things are so small in it? For example this Sacntuary of the Scion, the main room is MUCH smaller in the remake than in the original.

This is a fantastic idea, L4D have used it, MGS4 have used it and I think most games should start using it. Worthwhile thing to unlock.
