Lara Croft is almost a household name among gamers and she is back for yet another adventure through exotic locations, temples and many tombs. Read more

Despite some of its technical flaws, the series hasn't lost its charm. Lara Croft is as attractive and agile as ever, using a range of moves to reach her goal. Read more
- Hanging out with Lara is as cool and fun as ever, beautifully crafted environments, puzzles are less linear, solid level design, great soundtrack;
- Acrobatics are spoiled by weird camera (again), simplistic combat.

If you're looking for a game heavy on exploration instead of gun-play and don't mind looking at a finely toned arse for 12 or more hours, Underworld comes highly recommended. Read more
- Emphasis on exploring, Looks stunning, Isn't over in six hours

Take Lara Croft around the world searching for Thor's hammer, so she can "kill a god" and finish the story arc started in Legend. Read more
- Amazing graphics, well-written story, improved platforming and combat.
- Still some collision issues, and the puzzle difficulty varies to either extreme at times.

Combat the most dire enemy yet in a Tomb Raider game: the camera. Read more
- The graphics are phenomenal; Lara's moves are silky smooth; new moves in Lady Croft's arsenal are useful; gunplay tweaks; no quick-time events; exploring feels much more natural.
- 90% of combat is against bugs & bats; not a single boss battle to be found; one of the worst cameras ever in a Tomb Raider game; some parts of the story feel unnecessary; far too short.

Old school fans and new tomb raiders alike should find lots to love in Lara's latest (and best in years) adventure. Fighting with the camera sometimes sucks, and a few puzzles might have you cursing the mythological gods of... Read more

Crystal Dynamics has made Tomb Raider Underworld more realistic with fluid movements due to motion capturing. Set a few years after the last game, it also features persistent destruction and lush locales across the globe. Read more

I played the original Tomb Raider quite a few years ago, and found it provided plenty of challenge, and a new direction for gaming. I’ve seen the trailers for the other instalments, but not played them as they looked like... Read more
