You're right Randy, that's exactly what Legend & Underworld lacked, even Anniversary suffered from it depite being based on the original. The new games are too much of a "straight pipe" design. The older TRs would often give the player a choice of directions to go and it was up to individual exploration to ultimately find out where to go first. Many people see that as a drawback nowadays, the casual gamer wants instant gratification without the "hassle" of having to work for it. Which is what I believe is slowly tightening the noose around Tomb Raider's neck. But like I said before, now Toby's as good as in the driving seat (as far as design is concerned), maybe we'll see a return to the convoluted maps of old that used to be so head-scratchingly enjoyable.
