The gray/white palette doesn't look as good as the gold palette.

I'll search a bit. I recall a thread about that some time ago (maybe it was for TRU, tho).

Particularly Egypt is usually thought of as 'yellow' so they should definitely have opted for that in my opinion. The way they did it is still good though.
I got the feeling that CD were afraid of having variety in the same section. Every set of levels in TRA can be defined by one or two colours. In TRI, lots of different colours and tones could be found during every level (take a look to Qualopec's Tomb or Palace Midas).

I agree that Egypt was extremely dull compared to its counterpart. They overused washed out colours there instead of using vivid and vibrant ones, taking advantage of elements like hieroglyphs, symbols and ornaments.

One thing I liked in the Egypt section was that huge and beautiful wall mural that Lara can wall run over (in the room with spike darts flying through columns). Why wasn't something like that in every big room to offer some eye candy? Missed opportunity...

Quite frankly i didn't mind the dart trap only being in that one room. As the trap made things difficult to get the timed secret especially with the clunky controls.

I agree. A TRAE core version would do a good job.

Yes. I'll take Core's TRAE over TRA:Trenton Edition any day!

I wonder if anyone has modded the textures and lighting in TRA Egypt to appear more yellow. Sackboy, do you know?

Well a TRA light colored palette would sound better.

Maybe not the lighting, but I swear I remember a few mods that made the colours more vibrant in the whole game.

I did a quick seach and this looks pretty cool:

Personally I really liked what they did with the Egypt section of the game, even the colors. They looked fine to me, actually I found this section very beautiful.
