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
