Goofs:

Plot holes: In the cut scenes at Von Croy's apartment, Lara angrily confronts Von Croy, claiming that he just "left her" in Egypt. At the end of "Tomb Raider: Chronicles", Von Croy had not left Lara in Egypt; in fact he was obsessive in his search for her amongst the remains of the temple, even though his chances of finding her alive were virtually nil.

Quotes:

Lara Croft: Not a lot of passing trade at this hour?
Janice: It's early yet. Move along, ma cher, you make the place look crowded.
Lara Croft: I wouldn't worry. We're not in the same class.
Janice: That attitude won't get you far round here, sweet thing.

A great game, not bad at all

I believe that Tom Raider: Angel of Darkness is an excellent game. The story line and graphics are great. Sure, there are many glitches and points where the camera angle goes into Lara's head, but overall it is very well done. The controls are not at all hard to pick up, of course there are moments you want to yell at the screen, or she just won't line up perfectly, but other than that the controls are fine. Fighting is easy, and there is no limit in the sprint bar. You must try particular parts over and over until you get it right, but that's the same with heaps of games in this kind of category. The new player Kurtis is a great addition, even if he is much heavier and harder to control than Lara. The game is a lot better than the last instalment, Tomb Raider Chronicles. Although many people say the battle against Boaz is hard, it isn't! You just need to jump around a lot and shoot whenever you can. I'll defiantly be playing Tomb Raider: Legend, even if I don't buy it. I'd give it a 9/10.
