Level 3: Croft Manor
Block vs Nuisance
Posted May 26th 2010
Shortly into the level there are four small stone blocks for Lara to pick up and move about. There are also a heck of a lot of spiders and bats about the place. Did you realize that Lara can melee them with a block she's carrying? SPLAT! I feel a bit guilty listing this as 'fun', because it's quite hard to anticipate enemy movements appropriately (their animation is rather jerky) and the collision detection is poor. She can miss by a mile and still make things go splat. But it's a novelty at least, and you might like to see how well you can do with this method. For much better melee fun with a large carried object however, see Stone smackdown on my page of fun for Jan Mayen Island.
