Mobile Snake by GeckoKid

I'll be honest, I was expecting a little snake the wiggeled. Well I was so wrong, this snake is AWESOME!!! And it's a very big snake (Not Giant, but alot biger then you'd think) Let's look at a little bit of everything. Original: A moving snake! All we've had before was a little snake that sat on the ground hissing at you. So this is very original, and a huge improvement! Quality: Completly breath taking! The meshes were great! No holes. Some of the texture could have been rotated a little bit better on the underside of his belly - But that's not noticable in the game. Useable: Oh this is perfect for Tomb Raider. I'd suggest it to be used in jungels, swamps and deserts. Custom textures: Texture under his belly needs to be mirrored, but the texture it's self was good. All textures were perfect! Custom meshes: They Were great! They fit perfectly placed and look wonderful together. I like it's head mesh, too. Custom animations: The animations are awesome!!! I don't know how you did it, it's so amazing! All of the animations were good. Turning was a little odd, but not that bad. Before he bites Lara he pushes her half a square and then bites Lara. But if I was playing a level and trying to run away from it, I don't think I'd notice that because I was just standing waiting for him to bite lara to test that. lol. Now thw one animation that was the best, I like them all but still, the slither across the floor was... AWESOME!!!! I also want to mention that it's fast (But don't worry, it's not too fast), it's a great chase! And it's intimidating for any level. I'd suggest using three at a time, oh it's so cool with lots. Of course it's great with just one too. This is a classic already!!! You HAVE to download this and use it! It's so cool!!! :D [i]Edited by Trinity[/i]

originality 10: we have not many really new enemies, ok we have some snake rips here, but they are rips and the idea of making the snake mobile is very good and more realistic. quality 10: meshes perfect, textures good (from tr3), animations A+++++. usability 10: animal enemies are a important part of all tr games. Good for jungles, zoos and houses ( maybe as a pet). meshes 10: the new meshes have no bugs and are well shaped. animations 10: it moves like a real snake! If I could I would give you 15 points for animations, it's hard to create a real good animation.

Originality: What a great innovation - to essentially add mobility to the TR3 snake. Folks - We're talkin' a big 2 metre slitherer with some attitude to get Lara. Quality: A high quality new enemy with very realistic custom animations - I would expect nothing less from Jackie. Meshes & Textures: I'm unsure whether these are custom or the ones from TR3. So I have treated them as standard. Apologies if this is incorrect. Either way - the textures are applied well to the meshes and the meshes work well together to provide a smooth working enemy. Useability: There are so many situations a snake could be used so I really cannot mark this down. The enemy functions perfectly and has the correct snake sounds added and supplied. Custom animations: There has been great care taken here to provide some very smooth slthering animations - terrific work.

Originality: A moving big snake! That’s a total new enemy in TRLE. Usability: You can use it in any outside level. I also used the snake in a High-Tech level and it looks also great! Quality: The Quality is very good! Awesome animations, textures and meshes! GREAT!!! Textures: The textures look very good. High resolution and perfect placed! Meshes: Super! That’s a perfect enemy. No bad meshes! Animations: Awesome animations! It looks very realistic and the die animation is very realistic! It’s a very breath taking enemy and you should download it! I never saw a better animal enemy! Very good work!!! [i]Edited by Sorata[/i]

Originality- Originality at the fullest! I mean it is a Moving Snake! 'Nuff said Quality- No Bugs at all. The way it turns is hard-coded so that will no affect the rating. All meshes fit together perfectly! Usability- Snakes can be used almost in every enviorment.Im going to use this in my jungle level! Custom Textures and Meshes- Well since the textures are from tr3 I will not rate this part! The meshes you made were great like I said before they all fit together perfectly! They were all soo nicely done! Custom Animations- You musta of spent a long time creating the animations! There all so reaistic. Just like a real snake. Well like I said the way it turns is hardcoded so this will no affect the rating. This snake also has custom sounds! If your going to use a snake for your level I suggest using this!

Ten in every rating. What more can I say? The big fun is that it is in the crocodile slot. I not only slithers on the floor, it also swims! And that's perfect anywhere! If you're tired of that "moving suitcase", you MUST use it. The animatons are amazing, and the dying animation... TAERG! lol!
