Tomb Raider Underworld
By jykwan | November 26, 2008
Tomb Raider Underworld, also known as tomb raider 8. I have been playing tomb raider since the Legend series because the graphic performace was quite nice since that time. From tomb raider legend till now the game engine is by crystal dynamics and the scenery has been fantastic throughout the game.
This time, the tomb raider series continues from the legend series but there are characters from the anniversary. It seems the anniversary series came out just to remind us of a character which would appear in the unerworld series. (Tomb raider anniversary is a remake of tomb raider 1, with better graphics). Now we have characters from the Legend and anniversary series which both of the older series are from different time and story lines.
The game scenery is fantastic as before. Gameplay is also quite good with new environment interaction. The storyline is quite ok. Thou i would say that the puzzles were not as hard as it seems ( just had to slam my head on the keyboard a couple of times think out of the box ). Lara this time looks more mature and abit more aggresive now. I suppose because of the series legend, she found out that she could somehow save her mother and the cause of her mothers disappearence is due to her.
Overall i would give an 8 out of 10. I like good graphic performace, good graphic content and a good gameplay to go with it. The story line however is abit short for my preference, the ending is abit sad thou, Lara had to kill her mutated mother somewhere near the end (spoiler).
