You know....this would really be great for a Croft Manor assault course, the stuff that didn't make in.
They could include it next game too.

Some of those challenges look pretty cool and unique. No instructions on how to access that area, though.

How anyone could like every classic level is beyond me, some of them are absolutely crapola..

Colisseum, Cistern, Tomb of Tihocan
All of the diving/wreck levels in TR2
A lot of TR4 is creative but boring to play

Agreed on Coliseum. Cistern is interesting because Pierre pops up at random times and so keeps the intensity fresh on replays plus the puzzle has novelty value. Extremely boring to look at though and very dated. Tomb of Tihocan first half is a dull, dull visual continuation of Cistern but has an epic final half. The Deck in TR2 is a masterpiece IMO. Grand scale, some varied visuals, has a real 'Tomb' feeling to it, combat excessive.

TR4 is good until Cairo at which point the quality plummets. The Coastal Ruins/Lost Library quest is the pinnacle of the series.

Basically, you're right there's some right duds even among the classic levels.

All levels from TR1, TR2 and TR3 = Flawless masterpiece

So yeah.

Christ no, the crap really begins in TR2.

As for the trilogy:

Kazakhstan, Japan, Bolivia Acid Reflux
All of anniversary apart from Egypt
Al of Underworld apart from Thailand

Crapola to the highest... Praise TRLE... The real future of Tomb Raider im my eyes.

These have probably been posted somewhere before, but I was looking through Ghostblade's youtube channel and found these:

This is earlier than any stage of development that I've seen (barring TR Ascension, ofc) probably even before the Gameinformer coverage. In this one, you can hear that Lara has a different voice (dialogue is still cringey, though), she has a different face, you can see her shirt is green-ish is some of the shots and the game logo looks... Not good, lol.

This one is later in development, (2011, as it says in the video) and Camilla's already there. Lots of interesting things, but most note-worthy is that "look" mode (which was probably replaced by SI) how the basecamp menus look like, and the inclusion of health and adrenaline bars.

Does anyone know how Ghostblade obtained these videos? I can't imagine they were in the game's files, because they look like press footage and trailers to me. IDK. Mucho interesting, though.
