Tomb Raider: Underworld

Tomb Raider: Underworld

The most well – loved of all video game heroines is back with a new mission on the Xbox 360. This time she is out to prove the existence of the fearsome weapon of the Thor, the much celebrated god of thunder in Norse mythology. This weapon is said to be only a myth for many generations until our hero uncovers evidence that it is indeed true and larger – than life. This leads to a journey like no other as Lara attempts to learn the truth behind the secrets of the myths while travelling in different exotic locations and encountering different kinds of foes and friends and alike.

This sequel offers more perks and enjoyable additions from Tomb Raider: Legend which was released last 2006. Here, Crystal Dynamics has really done a good job of creating a more visually enticing world that is so vivid that it feels so real and life-like. Each location offers exciting details as well as graphic outputs. Any gamer would feel that they are actually present in the game especially with the very colorful landscape which is depicted right down to the tiniest drops of water and the vaguest shadows and lights. Also, Lara has evolved to the point where she is more real as compared to the 3d doll that she had become in some of the early versions of the game. (more…)
