Related Items: Editorial Review: Amazon.com Product Description: Tomb Raider: Underworld for Xbox 360 by Eidos resumes where Tomb Raider: Legend left off. This installment introduces a new, interactive playing environment that gives players a chance to immerse themselves more fully into the game. Players once again take the role of Lara Croft as she explores such wide-ranging places as the Arctic, Mexico, and beneath the Mediterranean Sea.
Unlike the previous games in the series, Lara's environment is now much more realistic and interactive. Footprints will be left in mud, for example, but only until it rains and then they will wash away. Lara's shirt will also get wet, and she's more likely to lose her grip if she is standing on a slippery, rain-soaked ledge. When the sun comes out, her shirt will dry and the slippery surfaces regain their friction. In Underworld, Lara also has a lot more flexibility in how she makes her way through a level, as there is often more than one way to get from here to there. She can now climb walls with texture and rocky outcroppings to reach areas she previously wouldn't have been able to access. All of these additions have been made to give the game a non-linear, open feel. Players can interactive with the environment by doing things they find to be intuitive, and the game will respond in an appropriate way. When Lara interacts with trees, for example, she will push aside leaves using either one or two hands depending on whether or not she's holding something. These details give a lifelike, immersive sensation to the game. New Melee Combat System Underworld introduces a new melee combat system that requires players to strategically strike with offensive, defensive, and evasive maneuvers. Lara can now attack enemies with different punches, kicks, knees, and other acrobatic onslaughts. Items lying on the ground, such as poles that were previously walked on, can be picked up and swung at enemies. Players can also perform a greater variety of actions with weapons; for example, Lara can now hold onto a ledge with one hand and fire a gun with the other. Realistic Enemy and Animal AI The AI in Tomb Raider: Underworld has also taken a big step forward--both enemies and animals now make independent decisions based on their surroundings, employ ambush and squad tactics when fighting, and will retreat if deemed necessary. With updated graphics and a more immersive and realistic gameplay, Tomb Raider: Underworld will have both fans and newcomers excited about the newest installment in this popular video game-pinup franchise.    Tomb Raider: Underworld is loaded with a new melee combat system, various weapons, and smarter AI for both enemies and animals. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Almost epic.. almost..Tomb Raider: Underworld, overall is fantastic and very much worth every penny. The graphics are stunning, controls are easy and the puzzles, unique and fun. It is a worthy edition to the Tomb Raider phenomenon. That being said, there was one real disappointment that I had with the game. No boss fights. I understand that they where aiming more for the exploration factor and acrobatic puzzle solving with less combat, however, I believe this could have been done just fine with the boss fights included. ... Read More Rating:  - Ms Croft is Back !Very nice visual update with some minor camera control issues. Anyone who enjoys Tomb Raider should like this effort by Eidos and Crystal Dynamics. This is a follow-up to recent versions and brings the franchise to multiple platforms. I purchased the 360 version because of upcoming DLC which purportedly makes new levels available early next year. The majority of levels involve exploring Jungle Temples and ruins in near equator environments. Very close to Uncharted quality on the Jungle scenes. ... Read More Rating: - Looks good and is fun, but is entirely too shortTomb Raider: Underworld is another decent -- if not outstanding -- installment of the Lara Croft series. The game picks up sometime after the events of Legend, and makes an attempt to tie-up the story. The developers have made an attempt to make this the first Tomb Raider game for the current generation of consoles, and for the most part, they have delivered. As a Tomb Raider experience, this showing is similar to past games. All of Lara's classic moves are in the game, and the controls are ... Read More Rating:  - A Great Tomb Raider Game!This is a great Tomb Raider game. I've played it to completion and feel that the game needs a defense against some of the remarks thrown at it in reviews. The story line follows from Legend and Anniversary and gameplay is very much the same. The camera is NOT as bad as everyone is making out. Yes, there are a few times where it is difficult to get a look at where Lara needs to jump. There are two methods in the game to get around this. First, if Lara looks in the same direction in which you lean the left ... Read More Rating: - Fun Game Continues TR LegendThe sequel to the 2006 Tomb Raider: Legend, TR Underworld is an interesting and fun game. The heroine Lara Croft is as realistic as she ever has been and the environments she traverses are like nothing you've ever seen. They are gigantic and diverse covering locations like Thailand, the Mediterranean, and Southern Mexico. Game play revolves mostly around puzzle solving and while these puzzles involve some thought they never become ridiculously frustrating. New Things: Although not ...
