Tomb Raider 3
1998

Overview
When Tomb Raider 3 was released it featured even more new moves, vehicles, and gameplay.   It used the same engine as the one in TR2 yet was refined to look even better.   It featured even larger worlds, more weapons, and more choices.   By this I am mentioning the option to choose which section you want to visit and in what order you will do them in.   After the mandatory India section players are able to choose between South Pacific, London, or Nevada.  

Improvements
Lara now gained the ability to crawl, monkey climb, and sprint.   While sprinting the character will spot a bar appear on the top of the screen.   It desintigrates quickly and once empty the player can no longer sprint.   The levels grew in size, especially while outdoors.   The Croft Manor also featured several new expansions and made it the largest training level in any TR game so far.

Gameplay
Everything in TR2 was carried over to the TR3 control scheme with the exception of crawling and sprinting.   Now players also had to option to control with the Dualshock analog controllers which made gameplay more challenging and more difficult than necessary.
