waaaaaiit a sec, I just want to gripe about one thing.  i have seen
botomless pits in tomb raider, and even in the 2nd.  Really though,
it's hard to compare the two games.  I mean, tomb raider is a more kill
kill kill fest, while mario leans more torwards thought-oriented action.
(oh and by the way, if tomb raider is true 3d, how come i can't exit
the level and just go back to the house, eh?  my friend thinks i'm
insane because i like the practice level more than the game.  who
knows, mabye i am.  really though, i could enjoy a game that just let
you move around the house, looking for secrets and things to do.  Tomb
raider 3:back to the house anyone?) :)
