Why the hell can't companies make games that simply work? Personally, I think every single gamer who bought this game should return it to send a message that gamers and consumers won't tolerate this. We pay anywhere from $40 to more likely $50 or $60 on a game, it's completely unacceptable to have glitches in the game that can ruin the experience altogether. Minor stuff isn't that big of a problem but this sounds like a big issue.
Sure, computer games and now video game consoles can sometimes work around the issue with patches but why not make sure it leaves in working order? Also, not every gamer goes online or even has internet for their gaming habits. And if a young kid gets a game with a glitch, do you think he or she is going to know it's a glitch? Totally unacceptable. All gamers should return their copy in protest. It's not like Lara Croft is a big deal anymore now anyway.
I'll come up with something better eventually...
