Can't compare to Anniversary.

I don't know how, or why, but the controls are much more loose and awkward than they were in either Legend or Anniversary. Lara's animations just can't keep up with your inputs, so she'll get stuck on… Read more

Tomb Raider: Unremarkable

Tomb Raider Underworld is an enjoyable game that has a few problems both artistically and technically. If you want to just start up the game having never played a Tomb Raider before you will be greete… Read more

Tomb Raider: Underworld

I'm not sure how I would have reacted to this game when it came out a few years ago. The game would have still been extremely glitchy, but it's hard to say if it would have been as unacceptable then a… Read more

Dig a tomb for this franchise

I don't think the Tomb Raider games have ever been good. Like, ever. They've never looked like the sort of quality game that I could embrace and point to as something appealing. Which is funny, becaus… Read more

I am surprised at how broken this game is

I have not completed Tomb Raider: Underworld. I grew too frustrated with it. I was not having a good time. Moreover, there was one major glitch I encountered that broke the game for me. Naturally, thi… Read more

JUMP!

Tomb Raider Underworld is the first Tomb Raider game I've played in a LONG time. The last one I played was one of the original Playstation titles and I wasn't too good at them at all (too young I gues… Read more

Tomb Raider: Underworld - A Return to the Roots... Sort Of.

Throughout the last decade there have been a lot of Tomb Raider games. Some would argue that there have been too many and that the series should have died out ages ago. With eight major titles and a r… Read more

Tomb Raider: Underworld REVIEW

COMPLETED THUS FAR: 100% (Main story, including both Beneath the Ashes and Lara's Shadow DLC) PLATFORM PLAYED ON: X-Box 360 (Edited 01/09/12: Removed dead youtube links.) NOTE: From the videos I've se… Read more

Still good, but the franchise probably needs a third reboot now.

The original Tomb Raider is still one of my favourite games of all time and the recent PSN rerelease showed me that the original is still pretty much playable thirteen years after the fact. I feel tha… Read more

Tomb Raider Underworld Underwhelms

It is impossible to talk about Tomb Raider: Underworld without mentioning the game's predecessor, Tomb Raider: Legend, and to a lesser degree, Tomb Raider Anniversary. These three games now as a trilo… Read more

Sadly riddled with bugs, but still a decent TombRaider experience

A few first impressions after playing Tomb Raider: Underworld for an hour or two. The graphics are pretty nice, they capture the feeling of scale pretty well, frame rates however aren't so great. Anim… Read more

Lara is back to fight her nemesis: The Camera!

In 1996, gamers everywhere became infatuated with Tomb Raider. The mix of puzzle solving, gunplay, and its sexy female protagonist, Lara Croft, pushed the game (and especially Lara herself) into an ic… Read more

Oh, Lara. Will you ever learn?

There was a time when Lara was a driving force in the games industry; she was recognised universally by men and women alike and became a household name across the globe. She also became a gaming icon… Read more

Tomb Raider getting old?

Lara Croft returns in the sequel to Tomb Raider: Legend. While she has some new moves and improved visuals, you’ll find yourself frustrated after Lara falls to her death again trying the simplest of a… Read more

Still no nude code.

It’s never easy to see an old girlfriend out and about with her new guy. Now imagine that she looks better, acts smarter, and is just in general a happier person then she was before. CORE, if they eve… Read more

Lara makes her move to the nex gen cosoles

First of all this is probably the 4 TR game I have played over the years. I was really looking forward to this title and had very high expectations after seeing screenshots and reading previews. I hav… Read more

Graphically competent but boring

First of all, let me get the positives out of the way: this game looks very good. A lot of the environments are lush and give a nice sense of scale. Unfortunately, this is let down by the abysmal came… Read more

Lara's first 'Next Gen' outing is a good one

Let’s face it; Crystal Dynamics are doing a great job reviving Lara Croft’s previously dwindling reputation. After disappointing fans with Angel of Darkness; Legend and Anniversary were just the refre… Read more
