(See, below.)PLAYSTATION ANALOG CONTROLLER NOTES: Controls vary slightly from those listed when using an analog controller. The left stick moves Lara: push lightly to walk or sidestep, firmly turn or run. The right stick controls the camera. Press the right stick in for Action; press the left stick to jump.IMPORTANT: If you have never played Tomb Raider before, you should familiarize yourself with the unique control system for jumping. It seems odd at first, but it is actually very easy to make Lara do what you want if you just follow certain basic steps, covered on my page.Basic MovesMOVECONTROLS(PC/ Mac/ PlayStation)DESCRIPTION/NOTESRunUp ArrowD-Pad UpPress forward with left or right to move in that direction.Hop BackDown ArrowD-Pad DownTurn RightRight ArrowD-Pad RightHold to pivot on the spot.Turn LeftLeft ArrowD-Pad LeftHold to pivot on the spot.WalkShiftR1Used in combination with the direction keys/buttons for slower movement.
