When it doesn't crash, it's a very fun game. The ability to change difficulty levels of only one aspect of the game (combat, puzzles, etc) makes it impossible to just "hit a wall" and quit (sometimes a problem with games like these). Considering that its the third game in the series, its smart that the player begins the game with more weapons/items than previous versions, but it doesn't go overboard - there is still much to earn, and progress feels satisfying. The "Lara's Nightmare" sequence is interesting, too, and shows that the game devs were interested in rounding out Lara's character. I enjoyed and appreciated that.
