I have encountered many walkthroughs citing one of many glitches in the game. I find myself trapped at this point (I quote from this (http://www.tombraiders.net/stella/walks/TR8walk/11unnamed.html) source):
ROAD TO THE FIRST CALENDAR PUZZLE: Return to the motorcycle and get on. With the temple behind Lara, head to the left along the dirt road. (Going to the right leads back to the beginning of the level.)
Drive forward, weaving around between several low stone walls. As you start to round the corner at the edge of the ruins, another panther comes out of the bushes. You can try and run it over with the motorcycle, but there's not a lot of room to maneuver here. So, if necessary, shoot it while driving or get off the bike and deal with it.
When it's dead, continue around the edge of the ruins to a flight of stairs leading down into a manmade tunnel. If you like, you can dismount here to collect a few treasures. The first treasure (5/50) is in a breakable jar just to the right of the top of the stairs. When facing the stairs, turn left and you'll see another clay jar containing a treasure (6/50) in a corner just ahead. From that spot, turn around and look ahead and to the right to find a third jar with yet another a treasure (7/50). (These screenshots show the locations of the three secrets.)
Get back on the bike and drive down the stairs and through the tunnel. (NOTE: The motorcycle headlight control is the same as the key for the utility light.) After you emerge on the other side, the track twists and turns through the undergrowth but doesn't split until the next set of ruins is in sight. Here you'll see another path leading off to the left. Head to the right here. DO NOT GO TO THE LEFT.
And what is my problem?
Because I hadn't read any walkthroughs before playing this level (or for any other parts of the game I had played to this point) I went to the left.
I play on the Wii platform (I know the walkthrough I quoted from above is not designed for the Wii platform, but it gives you an idea of where I am, at any rate). Is there any way to fix this problem (ie. in game solutions, a way to start the level over on it's own), or am I stuck going back and restarting the game from the beginning?
Thank you very much in advance for any assistance!
