    Can't believe how little love the TR3 T-Rex gets!
    1) His vision is based on movement.
    2) He does follow and sniff flares.
    3) Spare raptors and they will fight.

  • @IidosGamingDen

    I'd honestly switch Lud's Gate and Aldwych just for the underwater part of the former. Also that stupid stealth section before it if you want the secret. The wasps in Lost City of Tinnos are annoying, but they're also not infinite; you can stand in one spot and just keep killing them, they'll stop spawning after 20-30 of them or so. Tedious, but makes the platforming that much easier later. That said, I still don't really like the level. I do really like Area 51, though, and would have ranked it higher.
    A few corrections...
    1. It's RX-Tech, not RTX.
    2. The guy on the platform in River Ganges was Tony, not Willard.
    3. Already pointed out by someone else, but that's not Amanda, it's Sophia Leigh.
    I've been waiting for this one, TR3 was my very first TR game way back on the PS1 and it's arguably my favorite in the series. It has my favorite locations and level variety, at least.

    All of the London levels are a bit of a pain. As you say, controlling the water vehicles is very difficult at times and can be frustrating. I would happily see them removed. Most of the other levels are great. The last 4 levels are the best. Of these, the first two are my favourites. Antarctica and RX Tech Mines are amazing levels. I would really love to see this game with modern graphics. Don't change the gameplay and story (except for the London levels). Just give the graphics a huge face-lift. I know it won't happen, but I would love it.

    Was looking forward to this! Hard to say if I prefer TR 3 to 1, though after thinking about it, I think 3 has a few more levels that are truly excellent, so I'll give the edge to 3.
    20. Aldwych. (Completely agree with you, easily the worst of the trilogy. Confusing, dull environment, goes on forever, and lacks much of good combat or platforming. Mason Temple was a cool discovery I guess, but there's hardly anything positive to say about it.)
    19. All Hallows (Bonus level! Feels a bit confusing and half-baked, but to be expected. Happy it was just a bonus, even if it's not nearly as snooze-inducing as Aldwych)
    18. Caves of Kaliya (The part from the drop into the snake pit and the end is excellent. Shame about the boring and confusing maze, especially the part with the boulders)
    17. Thames Wharf (First half is confusing, but fun to navigate. Second half is a bit dull aside from the yellow robot puzzle, which might be one of the best puzzles. Ending is nice too)
    16. River Ganges (Annoying how the less fun path is the one with the secret! Quadbike is fun, but the level doesn't seem too well designed for it)
    15. City (Too short to be any higher, but a very neat way to handle the boss)
    14. Antarctica (Smells a bit of Aldwych, but far less of a drag, and the environment is generally nice with the feeling that something is off)
    13. Meteorite Cavern (Boss is rather brutal, but as the last boss, warrants it. Very cool environment, and a nice way to end TR3)
    12. Temple of Puna (Does everything very well, but it becomes hard for the short boss stages to stack up against full length levels at this point in the list)
    11. Lost City of Tinnos (Conceptually, it's the best in the trilogy. What's more mysterious than a lost city under the ice of the most mysterious continent? The build up to it was great, the atmosphere, absolutely everything...except it's a ball-ache to actually play, and it's not just because of the wasps. In another timeline, it could have been the best in the trilogy, but alas, not this one)
    10. Area 51 (A bit confusing, but I loved everything else about it. Very well paced by holding off the saucer and especially the aliens towards the end)
    9. Lud's Gate (THAT section - you know the one - is the worst part of the entire trilogy. Aside from that though, I kind of love it! Great mix of everything)
    8. Jungle (Killer opener level, does everything right. Quite hard for an opening level, more so than The Great Wall if you ask me)
    7. High Security Compound (A no weapons level that, unlike the others in the trilogy, took full advantage of it. Stands out in a great way, and there's really no level like it. Visually a bit dull though.)
    6. Coastal Ruins (A great choice for your number 1, the first half on either path is truly excellent, but I think it gets a pinch weaker when you actually get to the village.)
    5. Nevada Desert (Really sets itself apart from the Egyptian desert levels in other TR games. Love how it's paced, like the other Nevada levels, with the place getting more built up over time)
    4. RX Tech Mines (The level is by far the best in TR history at being a 'cheek clencher', from both the mutants in the dark and the hypothermia dive. Mine carts are actually fun to me)
    3. Temple Ruins (Only the 2nd level and harder than any level from the first game! That aside, a truly excellent microcosm of everything great about the series.)
    2. Crash Site (Step aside Lost Valley, THIS is the dinosaur level! Thrilling combat, mixed in with some great puzzles and platforming. It just does everything extremely well)
    1. Madubu Gorge. (I love how much of a battle against nature the kayak is. Aside from that, wonderful platforming and visuals, feels like a real top-notch adventure. Perhaps not as 'clean' as Temple Runs or Crash Site, but I don't mind its flaws, and what it does well, no other level can touch)
    The more I think about it, The South Pacific Islands is my favourite TR 'chapter'. Loved it from start to finish. Any 'chapter' in the trilogy that stood out to you?

      @TheTombRaiderChannel  17 часов назад

    I enjoyed all of your rankings so far and the sometimes... ambitious choices which I respect fully, the only thing I would change is putting the title card with the rank and level name in front of your explanations instead of at the end. It would greatly improve flow and readability of the rankings since they usually pose as markers for a new train of thought. Another way of doing this could be just putting the rank and level name text on top of the gameplay.
    That said, your rankings are still interesting to watch and keep up the good work!
    EDIT: Also, at 8:32 you said Amanda instead of Sophia, I can see how you would confuse the name, since Natla, Sophia Leigh AND Amanda are all blonde women with a Bob Haircut 😂😭

    You love Tomb raider 3 more then me. I find many levels too long and tedious. Many of them have great memorable elements, but also long parts that are really a drag to execute. Ex : Crash site is fun, but then I remember the damn room with the ladders that takes forever to travel through. The Museum in Ludwig is fun, but then you have the underwater maze. The first level of London is pretty, but then you have the very confusing underground sequence where i have no idea what the switches I press are doing... and the robot thing... The Nevada Levels are really great though.

    I originally played this on PS1 and unlike the first 2 games, I eventually lost interest and never finished it, but I recently returned with the remasters and played 1, 2, and 3. I'm still about 4-5 levels from finishing 3. The main thing about the remasters compared to how this looked on a PS1 is that it makes a huge difference having the graphical improvements. Levels like India and Coastal Village are vastly improved. The environments they wanted to paint are now how they should be and that made the game much more immersive and fun to play, but some of these later levels in TR3 are so bad I have, for now, lost interest. I think I'm at Lud's Gate currently. That section of the game is pretty terrible. From Thames Wharf to Aldwych to Lud's Gate ughh.
