Tomb Raider Underworld



Code:
For generations, stories have been told of the fearsome weapon of Thor, the Norse god of thunder. Legend holds that Thor’s hammer had the power to smash mountains into valleys and to destroy even the gods. For more than a thousand years it has existed only as a myth…until now.

In an ancient ruin on the floor of the Mediterranean Sea, Lara Croft uncovers proof of the Norse underworld and the mythical hammer. As she attempts to unravel the secrets behind these myths, Lara’s perilous journey leads her toward a forgotten power that, if unleashed, could lay waste to all civilization.

Designed specifically to take advantage of the latest technologies Tomb Raider: Underworld represents a new advancement in exploration-based gameplay. As fearless adventurer Lara Croft explore exotic locations around the world, each designed with an incredible attention to detail resulting in breathtaking high-definition visual fidelity that creates a truly believable world and delivers a new level of challenge and choice.

Anniversary was a disappointment, so hopefully this will return to the same quality as Legends.

Agree. I personally liked it more because it was a great mix between cool action and small puzzles. I hate getting stuck in games Razz

meh ! anyway i leeched it, someone was rich enough to share it Wink

Overall, i was impressed with the games.. Sure it has minor flaws, but overall i wasnt disappointed at all. I loved Anniversary because it felt like TR1, just like before, and this one does too...

Just like it was in 1996 Very Happy

demo was impressive i gotta say really nice movement with very good vistas, and the best tigers ive ever seen, look like a winner to me but what do i know.


As for framerate, the 360 version runs smooth, while the PS3 is a jaggy mess that chugs along in slow motion.

Yeah, excellent graphics and some of the best movement animations I've seen. Plus they really create the sense of being in an exotic location; through both fantastic interaction between the environment and Lara, and the illusion of expansive environments.

First off, you do have a harpoon gun, press select then go to the weapons menu.

Secondly, the H&K USP Match (The pistols Lara uses) are wildly recognized for their capacity to function in adverse conditions, including immersion in water. Of course the accuracy suffers.

Maybe if your experience with firearms wasn't totally based on films and games then that wouldn't seem like such an unusual concept. Rolling Eyes

they really should lay Lara Croft to rest. This isn't no better than her other games on 360. Suppose if your into them you'll enjoy this but still the 1st will always be the best.

Yes but in my opinion Drakes Fortune replaced Tomb Raider/Lara croft, Nate is much cooler. Wink

they seem to be doing a great job with this one, feels decidedly 'Now Gen' where the others were just 'last gen' with a few bells on.

There are some camera issues that need sorting but on balance I like it

this is true, but effective killing range would be under 4 or 5 feet with standard ammo. High velocity stuff probably wouldn't even make that distance, and the cases may even rupture in the breech from over pressure. Most semi autos will not cycle underwater without modifications, also soft firing pin strikes can be an issue resulting in rounds not going off. I think you would be crazy to fire any gun underwater, unless you really had too. Laughing
