🌍 Adventure Awaits: Dive into the depths of the underworld with Lara Croft!
.co.uk Review The first lady of gaming returns in Tomb Raider - Underworld with her deepest and darkest adventure yet. Ostensibly searching for the mythical hammer of the Norse god Thor, the real draw of the game is exploring the underworlds of multiple different cultures. A pair of panthers make an uncomfortable safety net When you're a tomb raider, exploring ancient tombs is all in a day’s work Lara’s pistols are no match for the kraken The Mediterranean level includes a huge area for swimmingThe basics of the game are classic Tomb Raider, as you explore the trap-filled interiors of ancient ruins using Lara’s famed acrobatic skills (and dual action pistols). From an underwater temple guarded by a giant octopus-like kraken to ancient Mayan structures in the South American jungle, she makes Indiana Jones look even older. All of the levels are much larger than in previous games and far more interactive. You'll leave footprints in the sand and find all the scenery fully destructable. Every puzzle has multiple solutions, and the hand-to-hand combat system has been completely revamped. A new 3D map system also helps to ensure you never get lost so that you can concentrate on saving the world. Key FeaturesDream vacation: Travel the world in search of ancient artefacts, from the steaming-hot jungles of Mexico to the frozen Arctic, from the coast of Thailand to the depths of the Mediterranean Sea.Think like Lara: An interactive, non-linear game world means anything that it looks like you should be able to pick up and use (or destroy) you can.Bettering Bond: An all new grappling hook, sonar map, scuba gear, a range of new weapons, and Lara’s trusty motorbike make her the best equipped adventurer in gaming.Help on demand: Receive as much or as little help as you want, from gentle nudges in the right direction to a full explanation of what you need to do next.Behind the scenes: All of Lara’s animations in the game have been fully motion captured from Olympic gymnast Heidi Moneymaker. Her voice is that of Spooks actress Keeley Hawes.About the Developer: Crystal Dynamics Based in the San Francisco bay area, the Crystal Dynamics team has been making games since 1992, including popular titles such as Pandemonium, Gex, and Legacy of Kain/Soul Reaver. Crystal Dynamics began revammping the Tomb Raider series with Tomb Raider: Legend. Manufacturer's Description 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. For generations, stories have been told of the fearsome weapon of the Norse god Thor. Legend holds that he who wields the hammer has the power to smash mountains into valleys and the strength 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.

A ton of fun and extra content!
If you like adventure games, you'll love this. It excells in every department. The graphics just blew us away, and it's so atmospheric. Crystal Dynamics have done it again and we can't wait for next year's (2013 1st quarter) rendition! You'll still be kept busy once you complete the game 'cause there's extra levels to download which challenge you somewhat further. Even at that, we've replayed the whole game, and would still go back for more! Excellent adventuring fun! Highly recommended!

Old fashioned but enjoyable
Having not played the TR games since my old Playstation I thought I'd give this a whirl, and I'm glad I did. Its simple to pick up and enjoyable to explore - an ideal game after a busy day at work!The graphics are fine, nothing amazing but nicely designed and atmospheric. The fighting is a bit pointless to be honest and does detract from the gameplay a bit but its very easy to despatch all of the enemies so you can get on with the next puzzle!Overall - if you want a updated version of the classic TR games then this is it - if you're after something new look elsewhere.

A true classic which will never be forgotten
Well I remember the day 9 years ago at Christmas I got this game as a gift, along with my Xbox 360 arcade. I have decided to play it again 9 years later in the future. I must say I have completely forgotten the levels and what to do. It's like playing it from scratch again.If you like the other tomb raider games such as anniversary and legand, I think your like this one !

Good Game
This was a good game, but I felt that there was a lot of under water levels and I prefer land based games. The controls seemed quite difficult get to grips with. Although I will admit it has been years since I played on a gaming station and although the graphics were really good, due to it being underwater it was quite dark all of the time, which was quite annoying. Overall good game but wouldn't say its worth paying full price for.

Good Game
I bought this for my son. He is starting to get into games that have to be thought through. He is just younger than the age rating and did need some help to play some parts of the game. It has kept it occupied though.

Seller great. Game go seek something better
Seller great. Game go seek something better. I always been tomb raider fan since ps1 but camera angles and control problems has really spoilt it. I had this years ago bought again to recindle retro gaming. Know why got rid first place. Don't get me wrong still played to the end as loyal. However got to the end peeved.

El juego parecia estar en buenas condiciones.
El juego parecia estar en buenas condiciones aunque el disco estaba rayado. En principio funcionaba sin problema pero al poco tiempo de jugar dejó de funcionar. No lo recomiendo.

Super Spiel
Ich war ja schon immer ein TombRaider Fan und hab alle vorigen Spiele durchgespielt und das ist eines der besten. Tolle Grafik und Laras Steuerung ist auch einfach und ohne lästiger bugs wie in einigen Vorgängerspielen. Man hat sogar ein wenig individuelle Entscheidungsfreiheit, man kann zb wählen was für Klamotten Lara in einem Level tragen soll und welche Waffen sie benutzen soll. Das Spiel ist schon allein wegen der tollen Schauplätze sein Geld wert.

Lara in Bestform! Gute eigliederung zu den Vorgängern!!
Lara zeigt auch in Underworld, dass Sie nicht nur gut aussieht! Die Story von Vorgänger Tomb Raider Legend wird hier wieder aufgegriffen. Die Missionen werden jedoch schwerer und im Easy-Modus gibt es keine "leuchtenden" Hinweise mehr auf Felsvorsprünge oder Stangen an denen es weiter geht. Ich habe das Spiel noch nicht komplett durchgespielt, kann es aber durchaus empfehlen!
