OSX Lion Issues

Overall, I played the port of this game and was very happy. A few things created issues, however; the cutscenes were not synced very well. Audio and video did not match up, so sound typically came much later (more than a second or two) than the video. This only occurs in cutscenes in-game; FMV sequences are not affected. Also, there are a few glitches in the way the game handles audio, such as when you are underwater, there is NO music. Only if you come above the water can you hear background music from the game. Also, when driving vehicles, such as the snowmobile on certain levels, the sounds glitch quite a bit and drop in and out. It almost sounds as if the game sounds are slowed down (Laras voice drops a bit).

I was quite content with overlooking these issues…..until I updated to OS X Lion. After updating to this release of the OS, the game wont start. It pauses at the first FMV sequence and wont go any further. Im going to wait patiently for an update; until then, Im not able to play the game and feel like I deserve an update, if not an apology. Very frustrating, considering I was more than half the way through the game and an OS update caused the program to stop working.

Release an update to address these issues and I will gladly give a better review!
