After a long wait for this next installment in the popular game series with its heroine Lara Croft and in the meantime Angelina Jolie played her in 2 movie versions, the resulting game came as a disappointment to fans. Lara is accused of murdering her former mentor in Paris and has to solve the mystery and clear her name. You'll lead Lara mostly in 3rd person perspective, travelling to various locales in Europe. Explore sewers, cemeteries, warehouses, factories and cities. A multitude of NPCs will be encountered, both in the form of friend as well as foe. During a few sequences you will play as Kurtis Trent, a fellow adventurer Lara meets, and the game becomes more like a survival horror game. The interesting darker story with occult elements, well-done voices and music are actually quite good but the controls are frustrating and have irritating glitches. The game introduces new stealth and close-combat moves - ducking, sneaking and hug-the-walls walking. At particular moments when Lara pushes boxes, climbs, makes big jumps, and performs other such physical feats, she'll comment that she's gotten stronger - this will enable her to leap slightly farther, kick open previously locked doors, and more. Though this game looks much better graphically it is a resource hog and there are yet more glitches here too...it seems as if the game was rushed before all the errors were fixed. A simplified version of the same story was also made into Tomb Raider: The Action Adventure, an interactive game for dvd players and PCs that used recorded portions of this game with extra scenes added. | ||
