"Here's another type of level title where it pays off to be wary and keep your expectations low: those that incorporate their builder's name. There are exceptions to the rule (such as Temple of Jens), but typically they are negligible pieces hastily cobbled together by the builder in order to - get something out there' and thereby, I don't know, provide proof of their existence or something. This minute-long - adventure' is a case in point; but it still has merit, in that it provides a good dose of unintentional humour due to the thoroughly messed-up sound effects, which nip in the bud any hint of fairy-tale atmosphere (if that's what the builder was going for). Other than that, it's Lara in a Box with a finish trigger." - Mulf (16-Nov-2019) |

"Two minutes of bland game play with altered sound effects that bare no correlation to the actions they refer to. Strange level." - Torry (10-Oct-2019) |

"Such a shame this level is comprised of one single room, because it looks pretty. Alas, all you do is climb to the rooftops of a few houses and drop through a trapdoor. 5 minutes. 10/19" - Treeble (06-Oct-2019) |

"Seems like a test level to me, where the creator tested the
results of changing ingame sounds. We make our way through a
small area with buildings that's covered by a jungle until
the level suddenly ends in front of a lever and danger. I
like the texturing here and some of the sounds were funny." - Nuri (03-Jun-2019) |

"Looking cute but a waste of time really." - Gerty (07-Feb-2019) |

"This is a little do nothing level. It's a small town hidden in the woods. Tee tiny one room level. The sound effects are totally shuffled around, which made me laugh hard the entire time. When the tiger was sneaking up on me I didn't even know what it was due to the sound. It squeaked and wheezed its way on over to maul Lara. 2 minutes of oddness." - Chel (26-Nov-2018) |

"A very hard level to judge, actually. I enjoyed the small
city in an indoor area as there was nothing to do with the
city at all. A very short game, I wanted to see more. The
city textures were cunning, and the sounds were so cute,
that it would make you to laugh to death! Fun play." - Mehrbod (04-Aug-2018) |

"Not a real level. Shoot a couple of tigers and pull a switch is not enough to offer something decent. There are wrong sounds for the animals and also for Lara. The houses have not a bad appearnace, but that's all. Not worth to download." - Jose (06-Nov-2017) |

"There is a missed opportunity to make an interesting level
here, as the concept of a city/village hidden in the woods
is quite appealing. Unfortunately the builder spent too
much time shuffling the sound effects around - you'll be
running around minding your business until you hear the
sounds of Lara moaning over and over, then you turn around
and find a white tiger (possibly with a throat infection?).
You then shoot at it with bullets that also sound like Lara
(at least a little bit). While all of this is quite
amusing, there is very little gameplay beyond killing a
couple of tigers, pulling a switch and ending the level.
Weird in a bad way." - Ejecta (14-Aug-2017) |

"Short level that consists in one room. It
looks like an abandoned zoo in ruins, only
with 2 white leopards to kill. This level
could have been boring if it wasn't for the
messed up sounds. I couldn't help but
burst out laughing when I heard Lara
moaning, screaming, when she jumped,
rolled, or when she pulled the lever!! I just
repeated the sounds over and over again,
though they were a bit inappropriate...
Recommended only for the sounds, but
the textures are also good to look at,
though some are missing and one has a
different hue." - alan (30-Apr-2017) |

"That was short, very short, although I found
the messed up sounds amusing. All you do here
is climb a roof, monkey swing across and drop
into the trapdoor." - Ryan (07-Aug-2016) |

"The map itself is great, even without shading it looks like a dwarven city Simen could locate in a forest of his levels. Unfortunately the place is currently abandoned like if those two cats had scared the inhabitants away. If that was really the reason then Lara has now taken care of it, and I know it's been a long time but the city still deserves getting repopulated. So far it keeps a silent watch over the woods, ready to welcome its lost people back. SUMMARY: A lost project, somehow invoking nostalgia." - DJ Full (01-Feb-2016) |

"A simple level that only lasts 2 minutes, with some rather humorously-altered sound effects to listen to for every action you can do here and that's it. Beyond the quick novelty however, you aren't really missing out on anything if you just skip this one. Not too bad texturing though." - Ceamonks890 (02-Oct-2014) |

"I downloaded and played this joke of a level out of sheer
curiosity, just to make sure it is as hilarious as other
reviewers claim. And I must admit, it is!!! As a lass, I
particularly found the messed up sounds annoying, but I am
sure that most of the lads out there will find these sounds
quite amusing and even arousing :) as Lara is moaning all
the way... I was surprised to be attacked by two tigers and
to find a lethal spot (one corner between a root of a tree
and a house where textures behave rather wierd). No
gameplay, no puzzles, no objects, no pick-ups, no secrets,
only a short climb to the roof and pulling one switch...
However, this level should definitely be famous for one
thing: I have never seen so many bugs in one such a small
map... For so many bugs (and I exclude the notorious sound
bug in this case), one has to build a huge level set. This
is quite a success to be able to pack so many bugs and
glitches into one such a small level that can be finished in
no longer than 2 minutes, even by most inexperienced raider.
Highly recommendable for all those longing to hear Lara
moaning ;)" - Nina Croft (18-Aug-2013) |

"The sounds made me giggle, especially that squishy sound on monkey swing. Textures were somewhat nice but overall level was boring." - Casual Raider (11-Jul-2013) |
|
"Some 2 minute adventure (level can actually be finished in 10-
20 seconds) shooting two leopards. Nice textures, but boring
gameplay." - manarch2 (03-Dec-2010) |

"What else can be said that hasn't been yet by the other reviewers? Though I'd love to see a proper, lengthy level inspired by one of my personal favourites (It's a madhouse), there's only so much that can be done within the confinements of single room, and I suppose considering that, this has its merits. But it ends before you even know it, and, if for anything, will attract players for the chuckle the messed up sounds will give you, though some of them sound positively pornographic... :-/" - eTux (15-Jun-2010) |

"Very short level. Maybe a demo. But I liked the cottages, like fabled cottages. Just surprised well, when two white tigers attecked me. :) Above the cottages there is the end by a switch. Shame, it haven't sequel." - Obig (30-May-2010) |

"Weird concept that a building is in the woods, but it looks okay. Few mins of gameplay, but it's worthy to download! I loved the screwed up sounds sooo much..." - rtrger (21-Apr-2010) |

"A couple of box houses enclosed by textures to suggest woods. Lara climbs up the red brick side to the roof, throws a lever, and drops into a hole for an abrupt end. Less than one minute. However, the walkthrough says to start at the other side and shoot white tigers. Lara climbs up there and uses a monkeyswing, does an angled jump, and pulls that lever for the end. This way there are several minutes of play. Attractive." - dmdibl (12-Mar-2010) |

"Very short level, where Lara climbs on the roofs of a small village in the woods, monkey swing , makes a couple of jumps and that's it. 2 white tigers that are not necessary to kill. No music, almost all sounds are wrong, the texturing is okay. [3 minutes]" - eRIC (13-Dec-2009) |
|
"Too short to really be released (at around 3 minutes). Fine as a technical demo. Some very very strange sound files (probably worth playing just to hear those!)
Stiggy" - TheStig (18-Nov-2009) |

"Despite the rather good looking level design and texturing this work of about 3-4 minutes is nothing to care about. Besides shooting 2 tigers, doing some monkeyswinging and pulling a switch there is nothing more to do here. This aside there are very strange sounds used on Lara and tigers." - Jerry (23-Sep-2009) |
|
"Even by TR3 level standards, this one is pretty brief, especially if you don't bother to shoot the snow leopards or hang around to be amused by the really very odd sound files. Otherwise, it's a quick trip across the rooftops to throw a lever and exit via a trapdoor. Shame really, as the surroundings are quite pretty, but I think the best thing about it is the old load screen from 'It's a Madhouse' - bit of a favourite of mine, that one." - Jay (23-Sep-2009) |

"Another short one at less than three minutes, but still an enjoyable setting with this one room area mixing houses and trees, two leopards and a short trip via a monkeyswing and a few jumps to the lever that ends it all too quickly." - MichaelP (21-Sep-2009) |

"One room and a collection of houses in an anachronistic jungle environment;that's all you get here. But wait! You also have a bunch of inapropriate sounds whenever enemies attack or Lara does something;which provide a few moments of comedy. It's very old and probably should never have been released." - Orbit Dream (18-Sep-2009) |
