As soon as players touch the analog thumb pad, Croft begins running wildly, causing massive frustration. Trying to position the character to climb onto a ledge is a chore, and in a game that has a lot of ledges to climb, that is not a good thing. Other actions, such as jumping and tight-rope walking, are just as likely to induce madness. Awkward camera angles sometimes worsen the situation. The developers of this game must have spent all their time making sure the curves on Lara Croft's 3-D model were just right because the graphics are otherwise bland.
Textures look old and ugly, and structures, such as buildings and fountains, are unexciting.
There might be some Tomb Raider fans who would enjoy this disaster, but anyone else would delight in digging out the tomb and throwing this game in. Rated for ages 13 and up due to animated violence. The career mode is fairly detailed as you earn money from your races to buy new cars and parts. You'll also get various sponsorship offers that pay extra money for every race in which you compete. Both modes have several options, allowing you to adjust settings such as track wetness and driving realism.
