Sure, the game itself is fantastic, but playing gives me the impression that Core have ruhed the release in time for Christmas. For instance, I had been playing the game for a while and had picked up the grenade launcher and the MP5. I saved the game, had my dinner and then came back to it and decided to try out Lara's house. When I went to the menu ring, it said I still had all the weapons that I had picked up, wierd. I tried getting out the grenade lancher and blowing up that annoying butler but instead of getting it out (the gun that is), Lara just started waving her arms in the air like she was at a rave and she just wouldn't stop. Oh well. A brief reset later and I'm playing the game again only to run through a wall in the Temple of Puna and get stuck. This has happened to me three times so far and is highly annoying . I've also found that sometimes Lara refuses to walk away once you've completed a jump which can be a bit frustrating, especially if you're on a narrow ledge. I'm sure these problems could have been sorted out with time but Core decided to release the game early and produce a substandard product. Never mind, I'll just complete it, take it back to Virgin with my complaints and get Bust-a-Groove. Still at least I'm 40 pounds nearer to my free game! (only £160 left to go then). Well, that's my rant over and I'm still only 7% ofthe way through downloading the Star Wars trailer :-( Tom
