This was a Core mistake Toby Gard didn't want to make. He thought the game should be about raiding tombs, not to see how many ways Lara can die. TR8 on PS3 promises to be more realistic, but then so did TRL on X-Box and Xbox 360.

I wanted Tomb Raider Revised but the installation seemed rather difficult, plus I have limited space left. Thank you for this tutorial but I've abandoned most PC games anyway.

It sounds like you want to turn Tomb Raider into an M rated game. This is an interesting way CD can get a new demographic, but I fear it would turn into a blood bath game Jack Thompson and Hillary Clinton can use as a platform. An interesting take would be to use first person views more often. This means you have a choice of an automatic or manual first person.

I've had the grapple problem in the gym at ramp 3. The solution (in a grapple jump) is to release the grapple after her feet are parallel to the ground, or else it will snap. If no jump is necessary (floor at safe distance), the grapple will not snap, and you can continue. While stationary, hold the triangle and push the stick forward like you want to swing. Lara will climb the grapple.

Crystal Dynamics recommends you backtrack all the time to enter in more checkpoints. It would make more sense if on the PC version you could use the "save anywhere" function like in previous Tomb Raiders. I'd say the PS2 checkpoints are like the Playstation save crystals. I've had the grapple problem in the gym at ramp 3. It's not a graphics problem or an AI problem, it's a failing on the user's part. If you're even a millisecond too slow, the grapple hook snaps when Lara's feet are parallel to the floor. I imagine it's even harder to do on the PC.

I always do it by myself, and I don't understand why I shouldn't, in addition, I use Spybot to search and delete when threads tell me not to, but if Spybot has a delete function, why can't I use it? I am pretty much a newbie when it comes to creating and understanding spyware logs and even HijackThis itself!

The game has been cancelled by Core Design, but not by Crystal Dynamics. It will be made by CD for PSP, PC, and PS2 (details will be posted on ps2.ign.com).
