Introduction
Tomb Raider: Underworld, also known as Tomb Raider 8, is the eighth game in the Tomb Raider series. Tomb Raider: Underworld continues Lara Croft’s search for Avalon, the mythical resting place of King Arthur, and the place where Amanda claimed Lara’s mother is.
Presentation
Tomb Raider: Underworld brings in depth graphics, much better than it’s predecessors.. Yet that’s probably why the graphics for this game stand out a lot more. Nonetheless the sceneary for each level is beautifully designed, perfect for a Tomb Raider game.
Gameplay
If your familiar with previous Tomb Raider games then your have no problem with the controls, though they can be really slow controlling and tedious at times. You have to take your time with each jump, because if you don’t she’ll end up doing something you didn’t command her to do.. What can be really frustrating at times.
The story is a pretty basic storyline, it’s your typical Tomb Raider storyline. Once you get into it, it is a very fun, yet interesting game to follow, minus the bad points. Two of those bad points are the length of the game. The certain levels may be frustratingly long but as a game as a whole, it is rarther short, six chapters in all. And unless your good with puzzles your struggle on this. They have really notched it up a bit with the puzzles from the last ones. They can be really time consuming, thoughtful, and annoying aswell. But if your into your Tomb Raider’s then this will satisfy you for as long as it lasts you.
Verdict
This is a fun and enjoyable game while it lasts, if you can get past the fiddly and frustrating controls at times. If your a huge fan of Tomb Raider games then this one is still for you, so if your into it or not I do recommend you pick it up for a steal price or it’s perfect for a week rental.
