Eidos Interactive's Tomb Raider III Is Now Available
SAN FRANCISCO--Nov. 23, 1998-- Lara Croft is back and she's better than ever. Tomb Raider III: Adventures of Lara Croft, the third installment in Eidos Interactive's best-selling Tomb Raider game franchise, is available now for both the PlayStation and PC format.
Tomb Raider III: Adventures of Lara Croft sends action-adventurer Lara Croft to five different locations -- the dark streets of London, the jungles of India, a South Pacific island, the Nevada desert and Antarctica. Here, she battles mutant creatures, humans and even plants warped by radiation from a dormant meteor that crashed into the sub-polar ice centuries before.
Core Design, the wholly owned subsidiary of Eidos that created Lara Croft and the series of games, has hatched a number of major improvements to the title. In addition to costume changes, new and enhanced moves for Lara, and new vehicles, Tomb Raider III features an array of technical and visual enhancements. An improved graphics engine will deliver the crispest detail and highest-resolution graphics ever seen in the series, making Tomb Raider III Lara Croft's best looking adventure yet.
Additional improvements include the ability for players to choose the order in which they play the levels, amazing new weather and special effects, and vastly upgraded artificial intelligence for Lara's enemies.
"Core Design has really outdone themselves with Tomb Raider III. The technical, visual and gameplay improvements make it the most exciting of the series by far," said Mike McGarvey, COO of Eidos Interactive.

The intrepid archaeologist Lara Croft ventures to India, searching for a legendary stone that once belonged to the tribe of Infada. Shortly after recovering the precious stone, she encounters a Dr. Willard, the head of an organization known as RX Tech. Willard is interested in an ancient Polynesian city built by people of a now defunct civilization, which worshipped a mysterious meteorite that hit the Earth millions of years ago. Willard tells Lara that the Infada Stone is in fact one of the four artifacts the ancient Polynesians fashioned from the material contained in the meteorite's core. Willard suggests Lara should look for the other three, scattered and hidden in various regions of the planet. It looks like another dangerous adventure awaits the fearless "tomb raider"!
Tomb Raider III: Adventures of Lara Croft is an action game with platforming and puzzle-solving elements. The gameplay system is similar to the one implemented in the previous game. Lara's abilities include running, jumping, climbing, swimming, rolling, crouching, crawling, sprinting, and swinging on bars and vines. A few new types of hazards have been added in this installment, including cold water in which Lara can swim for a limited amount of time, dangerous underwater creatures (such as piranhas), and the treacherous quicksand, which will swallow the heroine if the player isn't careful and fast enough to prevent her from falling into it.
As in the previous game, Lara uses pistols, shotguns, harpoon guns, uzis, and grenade launchers to defend herself. New weapons include the Desert Eagle, MP5 sub-machine-gun, and rocket launcher. A few levels are designed in such a way that sneaking becomes the preferable solution, rather than directly engaging the enemies in combat. Unlike the previous games, the player can choose to tackle the levels in any order following the introductory Indian scenario.
The player can save the game at any time in both the PC and the PlayStation versions; however, in the latter the amount of times the player can save the game depends on the amount of special crystals collected by Lara during her journey.
