“Tomb Raider III: Adventures of Lara Croft” is an action-adventure video game developed by Core Design and published by Eidos Interactive. It was released in 1998 for the PlayStation, PC, and Macintosh platforms.

In “Tomb Raider III,” players once again control the British archaeologist and adventurer Lara Croft as she travels the world in search of artifacts and treasures. The game features five main locations, including India, South Pacific, London, Nevada, and Antarctica. Each location has its own set of challenges, puzzles, and enemies to overcome.

One of the main new features of “Tomb Raider III” is the ability to choose the order in which the game’s levels are played. This non-linear gameplay style was a departure from the previous “Tomb Raider” games, which followed a more linear path.

The game also introduced new gameplay mechanics, such as vehicles that Lara can drive, and the ability to crawl and monkey swing. The game also featured improved graphics and sound compared to its predecessors.

“Tomb Raider III” received generally positive reviews from critics and was praised for its non-linear gameplay and improved mechanics. However, some reviewers felt that the game’s difficulty level was too high and that the game did not offer enough innovation compared to previous games in the series.

Despite these criticisms, “Tomb Raider III” was a commercial success, selling over 6 million copies worldwide. It remains a beloved entry in the “Tomb Raider” franchise and is remembered for its challenging gameplay and diverse locations.
