Some time must have passed between the cinematic and the start of the level as the cutscene takes place during nighttime while the level takes place during the day.

I tried that on the PS1 version last night - didn't work. I can't speak for the PC/Mac versions though.

Yeah I always play the PC versions when it comes to the original Tomb Raider series.
EDIT: The Angel of Darkness will be the first one for which I'll play the console version.

It's between The Great Wall and Jungle for me, but I think I prefer The Great Wall just because how insane it is. Caves for example eases the player really well into the gameplay mechanics and level design, but The Great Wall is just brutal for a first time player.

Not to mention it probably has the best secret of any Tomb Raider game ever.

Believe it or not, I actually find Jungle a harder first level than Great Wall. Not necessarily because of incessant death traps or anything, but because it's pretty long and has that "where do I go next?" kinda feel. Gorgeous scenery though.

A: Lara likes a challenge. B: One of the first secrets was in that cave area and she had a hunch or heard tale it was there. C: It's just a game so who cares.

Take your pick.
