Some enemies have a visible range limit, so you can stand just behind it and they won't come any closer to retaliate. Whether or not the freed prisoners will survive or not is purely up to chance.

Most notable are melee fights between convicts and guards, where both parties will circle around, chasing each other at hand's reach.

Artificial Stupidity: Even if improved, the AI still has its moments.

Enemies will actively target Lara and evade her shots, and will sometimes even fire a last desperate shot at her after she guns them down.

Artificial Brilliance: Enemy AI is much improved over the previous games, especially with human enemies.

Area 51: The Nevada section of the game takes place in the surroundings and inside the base, which also shows off many of the tropes associated with that place.

Both guns use exactly the same 9mm Parabellum bullets.

Arbitrary Gun Power: The MP5 is portrayed almost as an assault rifle, taking down anything in its way, while two mini Uzis hardly scratch your enemies.

It's often quoted as one of the reasons for the 'love or hate' reception of the game.

Anti-Climax: The final cut-scene has almost nothing to do with the plot.

The intro, the beginning of the 'Antarctica' mission and a few others are rendered in what was very high quality at the time, whereas the in-game cutscenes feature rather polygonal models, the lack of mouth movements and frequent clipping.

Animation Bump: Some may consider the FMV cutscenes to be this.

Ancient Conspiracy: Lara finds a masonic lodge around the closed Aldwych station.

For the creators' credit, they require Lara to crawl (a move introduced in this game) and are very tight.

Air-Vent Passageway: In High Security Compound there are a few sizable vents above prison's kitchen and a cooling vent for a satellite dish.

It's only when Lara starts to object to his plan upon delivering the meteorite pieces he turns nasty on her, but even the plan is explained in the polite manner. Willard is soft-spoken, polite and compared with Tony, his late employee, quite reasonable.

Advancing Wall of Doom: India loves this trope a little too much.

Now it's all a ruin under the ice of Antarctica.

Advanced Ancient Acropolis: The city of Tinnos in its heyday was this, albeit the technology was considered advanced for the ancient Polynesians, not by modern standards.

Abandoned Area: Aldwych station in London is a more recent example, while the temple from India and the City of Tinnos were abandoned long before the events of the game.
