Read Full Detailed Report - Tomb Raider: Underworld
The third Tomb Raider game since Crystal Dynamics took over the series, Tomb Raider: Underword continues from the story line started in Tomb Raider: Legend where it was revealed that Lara's mother may not be dead, but rather trapped in the mythical realm of Avalon (from the King Arthur legend). For the uninitiated, the Tomb Raider series is about lady adventurer Lara Croft, who is intelligent, athletic, infatuated with ancient history, and distractingly busty! The gameplay largely revolves around environmental puzzles (navigating various ledges and jumps) and mechanical puzzles (gears, switches, crate pushing) in fantastical ancient ruins and, in recent games, more typical present day locations. Combat is a part of the game as well and Lara uses her iconic dual pistols to fend off both human and exotic animal foes.
