Description
SynopsisFor more than a thousand years, the myth of Thor's hammer has persisted. According to the legend, whoever wields the Norse god's weapon holds the power to smash mountains into valleys — and even to destroy the gods themselves. When Lara Croft's exploration of an ancient ruin on the floor of the Mediterranean Sea yields evidence that the enduring myth is not so mythical after all, she is thrust into a race against time to unravel the secrets behind the stories and prevent the exploitation of a power beyond human imagining. Will she be able to find her way to the truth in time, or will this forgotten power be unleashed and lay waste to all of civilization?Prepare for an epic adventure in company with the inimitable Lara Croft in Tomb Raider: Underworld. Journey to far-flung corners of the globe to explore ancient mysteries of the underworld, and make the most of your powerful acrobatic abilities to master whatever environment you find yourself in. Seize your courage and apply your cunning to navigate your way through Lara's world, conquering an elaborate multistage puzzle to complete each level. Help the famed adventurer overcome the challenges in her path and get to the heart of the mystery before time runs out and the entire world is forfeit to a terrible power.

For the TR fan

Lets put it this way... if you really enjoyed playing the previous TR games then this will provide all the action and puzzle solving you are looking for.
However, if you're new to the franchise it may leave you a little confused. "What the heck is all the hype about'? The game is pretty easy to complete and story is a little flat, but still worth playing.

A must buy for any Tomb Raider fan

Its a really good start for what we can expect from TR on the ps3. the story is awesome, the graphics are amazing, the puzzles are challenging: not too hard, but not easy either, just right for any fan of the series. The environments are so beautiful and well made. There arent that many enemies to shoot at, so it gives you more time to enjoy the environments. the only problem i have, and still have with TR, is the camera angles in the game. sometimes they just suck. but other then that, this is a great game and a must buy for any TR fan, or even for any gamer looking for a good game to play.

~...Overall Great Game~

~Many Have Been Debating Over This particular game on whether or not it has been able to Live up to TR Legend....
It Could be said this game does live up to Legend (I havent completed it yet but so far its great) and contains a some new interesting abilities/story points which are reminiscent of prior games (ex. Sprinting Ability). The Story Ultimately Connected to Anniversary (in other words the orinigal as well) and Legend in an efficient manner....
The only cons were a few moments in which the camera had slight flighty moments (not too major) and that Lara wast able to reload her guns manually like Anniversary...
Overall 10/10...

I hadn't played TR for a while and I was a little disappointed in the latest installment. While moving ancient ruins is a blast, it seems like that's all you do. I didn't understand how a game's camera could be bad until I played it - I would recommend playing while biting on a pencil in case you get a seizure from the erratic motions. The fatal flaw, in my book, is the fact that you don't fight any major enemies at all. Killing a main foe in an animated screenplay is just wrong... The game is also too short for the price so I would recommend getting your TR fix by renting it.

Great Tomb Raider Game

I've played all Tomb Raiders and this one is probably the best along with Legend and Anniversary (Angel of Darkness was not a good tomb raider game).
The controls are the same as in other games, making gameplay easy. The graphics were great and this tomb raider's plot is very good and lives up to previous game plots.
A couple times I was frustrated with the camera but overall this game is incredible.
If you are a tomb raider fan, whether you played one or all tomb raiders, I strongly recommend this title

Best Lara Croft ever

If you are a Tomb Raider fan then you need this game, yes the camera angles suck but not one game is perfect. the story, graphics and lara's ability pretty much to do anything is awesome. think of it this way if you like Uncharted then you'll like this one, the only difference is the hot Lara is main charater. when if first played i felt like i was playing uncharted, but i would have to give the advantage to Uncharted over Tomb Raider but it's still a great game.

I can't wait for that Tomb Raider game to come out. I'm a big fan who enjoys playing other tomb raider games the most. When it comes out your going to enjoy this cool game before she can say "I like pretty things."

i will give the game credit on the story. it is a good story.
the camera angles stink (like they always do). the graphics are a little out of date. the difficulty is bad because most of the time, you are sitting there scratching your head trying to figure out what the heck is going on with some of the puzzles.
i do not recommend this game. if you like tomb raider. go after the one from last year. the tomb raider: legend game was pretty good. not great, but it is a lot better than this garbage.
