LARA CROFT TOMB RAIDER: UNDERWORLD (PS3 VERSION)

I decided to check this out at around 9:30 PM on 27 Nov. I played til around 12:30 AM and started again at around 5:45 AM the next morning. I played off and on all day and got some hours in and have now gotten to the Southern Mexico segment. Yeah, I've missed relics & treasures along the way. In the PS3 version, it starts out fine and will get you into it in a hurry. Unfortunately, it turns out to be buggy as heck. The camera goes crazy at times and usually at the worst possible times. Then came the Grand Daddy of glitches. I got to a place with old Mayan Calendars that needed to be adjusted. On one Calendar, you had to place a skull, that you had previously picked up, on a pedestal . When I got there, there was a skull on the pedestal. I used the Triangle (Execute) button to place the Skull and nothing. I figured that since there was skull already there I could simply pull the lever and adjust the Calendar. Nope. Not gonna happen, gotta place the skull that is in my back pack on there first. I had created a save point at the begining of the segment, so reloaded and started the segment over and got the same results. You would think for a $60 game, it would be ready for release before they released it. I don't know about the other versions ( PC, Xbox360, & PS2 ). I do know the PS3 version was not ready for prime time. Coastie65

And that's what we expect from tech support - restart/try again. lol .
I ll post back when i get this and let you know how this goes for me. btw - a look at the trailers , the game story should be good like Legends and not boring like anniversary. Anniversary was just old lara croft with good graphics and all. Lara in Underworld doesn't look as good as she was in Legends. Anniversary was well ahead in this respect.hehe . ;-)

There was no glitch in the game, just the player. :p

lol . hi coastie. :D good for you. Timed sequences - a trademark of tomb raider games and some are really hard. Have a nice time playing.

off topic : I just upgraded my ram. Added 2 more 1 gig sticks , running smooth.:)
