The Lost Artifact is an addition to Tomb Raider III much like the Gold series is for Tomb Raider I & II.

The Good
I found the game to be very challenging and in some parts very difficult. You are dropped off, by helicopter, near a Scottish Castle. Lara's quest, of course,is to retrieve the lost artifact. The scenery is striking and although Lara is all business there is a slightly whimsical part to the game. This castle is built on a cliff mostly surrounded by water and if your lucky, you might catch a glimpse of the Loch Ness monster. The game has six levels and this time Lara's enemies are Highlanders, quilts and all. She must of course do the usual climbing, diving and shooting to achieve her goal.I enjoyed the game thoroughly and plan to play it again. I was able to retrieve some objects located around the castle. A few of the jumps are extremely difficult but retrieving all the objects does not effect the outcome of the game.

The Bad
I found a few of the objects, ammo etc., impossible to reach.

The Bottom Line
Buy it and play it. If you like a challange or just for the fun. This game is one you will probably want to play more than once.
