1) When I first boot the game up the inital screen that show Crystal Dynamics name and all the parties involved with making the game scrambles and shifts left, right, has little lines in the text and what not, then this also carries over to the next screen when the words Tomb Raider show in the lower left corner, they are kinda scrambled, shift up, down, left and right, the picture of the island then flashes like lightning striking, the image shakes a little then everything all at once settles in to the main menu and it is fine, with the rain splashingon the screen, etc... IS THIS NORMAL??? Does anyone elses game do this, because.... it could be contributing to my other problem, I cannot set anything on fire in the shanty town which of course is keeping me from advancing the story as you have to burn the gate to continue, please someone help me out with a yes or no so I can return my disc if needed, thanks.

Sounds normal to me (playing the PC version though so it could be a problem with the card...though not sure why that would be the case).

does it with my pc as well, mine is less than 1 year old and I've never had problems with it. I think it's normal. though this is only answering from the pc side. I believe it's the same for everything though. might wanna check gamefaqs to see if anyone else has had similar problems. :)

I actually thought the same thing, except at first I thought my TV or PS3 were going rather than the disc being bad. I backed out and then relaunched the game and it did the exact same pattern so I figured it was just how the intro screen was supposed to be. I would also say this screen would be same reguardless of platform.

It's all a cinematic thing. No worries.
