It's a little helpful, but not much. What's weird about it is, there's this little guy who keeps bumping into you with a tray of tea and cucumber sandwiches. I wanted to kick him into the middle of next week, but the game doesn't let you. Maybe I should have tried shooting him. As for sound in Tomb Raider II, well, for some odd reason, unbeknownst to myself, there is practically no sound, other than the sound of the guns firing and the grunts of the henchman.
Music exists at a bare minimum.
Lara needs some music. As I mentioned earlier, the plot is confusing, so you're playing the game without any real goal in mind. You're never really sure what you should be doing. This makes it difficult enough. There are hardly any health packs either.
