I'll be honest, yes i hated this game too when i first started playing it. It was too different from what i used to love and yes that paris level was just awful! The controls, the bugs blablablah!!! Until now. I recently felt nostalgic and wanted to dive into some serious retro gaming, i got so tired from all those huge modern games that offer stunning graphics and story telling but zero challenge that i bought all classic Tomb Raiders and start with the first. Right now i am halfway through Angel of Darkness and i love it! This game is a masterpiece! Highly underrated and unappreciated. It does not deserve all the negative reviews it got. But, sadly, this is a problem for most products these times. Even recent games get critized for no reason. People are much to ungrateful. It is horrible!
