    The checkpoints get really annoying when you fall down a good bit, but don't die and activate a checkpoint from much earlier in the level.

    i almost snapped the pad trying to get through some of them. Utterly f*cking frustrating. Egypt has been the only level i havent thoroughly enjoyed so far, alot of really stupid problems, like one part where no matter what i just cant get lara to grapple hook this ring, its only a few feet away from her but every time i jump and shoot the grapple, it goes way over the hook, which is staring her directly in the face and i just hit the floor

    Also really annoying is her refusal to target an enemy if there are any of those switches that you have to shoot nearby. Great game but it can be incredibly frustrating at times.

    Sorry for accusing you. Strange but many reviews complained about this but in the PS2 version I have there are plenty of checkpoints. :confused: Maybe there was a second batch with this fixed?

    I don't think the platforming in this game is on the same level as prince of persia but it is good. Frustrating at times though as you say.

    Have just started this on the PC - looks absolutely gorgeous. Great soundtrack too.

    I have only one minor but nonetheless annoying issue with the controls. Im using a PS2 controller and the left analogue stick is somehow configured to Pause the game when pressed, which inadvertantly happens a lot in frantic gun battles with beasties or big chasm jumps :/

    Can't see an option to undo this? Anyone know how?


    Edit:/ Crisis averted. Just assigned another action to it. Doh! ;)

    Heh, check gamefaqs as said before, prevents you getting into a grudge with the game and giving up on it.

    Just bought this and I'm loving it....mostly.
    The really annoying controls are making it frustrating. Especially on St. Francis Folly. That level used to be so beautiful...now it's just a headache.

    I am really irate by the controls...

    What kind of controller are you using?

    I think the controlls work pretty well. I only have a minor issue with controlling the camera.

    Not for me, the analogue stick is way too sensitive, you would go to jump in one direction and end up going miles off coarse. Then there's the walk button that won't stop you falling off edges. The camera is really annoying in conjunction with the over sensitive stick and the shooting controls are poxy.

    Especially when you have the old style controls ingrained in your head.
