You didn't know he was called Kurtis Trent?! HOW THE HELL COULD YOU NOT KNOW THAT? I blame your dementia.

You know that later in the game. You know that if you check out about the game on the internet.

You do NOT know that from the plot. You take control of some guy as far as the plot goes.

Yeah I was only kidding. I read the review on bbc.co.uk

Bucky · 07-10-2003, 04:20 PM

I know you were kidding. ;)

You gotta understand, I spent 5 days playing that piece of crap so I could do a fair review.

I have a LOT of residual frustration over that title. :dennis:

Are you on the edge? Are you about to break?

Bucky · 07-10-2003, 04:40 PM

Nothing 6 or 8 beers can't fix ;)

Now ya got the right idea!

I feel sorry for you Bucky. TR:AOD is one big PIECE OF SHIIIIITE!
The controls are totally fecked, the graphic-bugs can't be ignored, sound-FX are missing, textures are missing and Kurtis sucks.
If you really want to go nuts though, visit their official forum.
I can't believe the amount of BRAINDEAD fanboys/girls that hang out there. Every single one of them goes completely nuts if someone says something like "Hey, this game is a bit buggy".
WHY are they defending this game? I'm a big Tomb Raider fan but I refuse to buy this because I'm not blinded by the hype like so many of those bastardos are.

Down with Eidos...

That is another area that I never go into.

Here was the graphic bug that took the cake:

I entered a hallway with a door close at hand on the right and was attacked at close range from my left. I lost track of what was happening because the camera decided to stay outside of the hall.

When I finally got the camera to where I could see the action, I was on the other side of a locked door at the end of a hall in a stairwell. I had to reload the game because I was trapped in the stairwell because I hadn't gotten the key yet, which was in a room at the other end of the hall.

Nice collision detection! :trout:

Ever experienced the bug where you see the "pick up" icon, press action to see if there's anything to pick up and Lara starts sidestepping through the walls to some item that lies on the other side of the level?
It happened to me on almost EVERY level.
