It's darker than the Uncharted games, but while there is lots of combat, it's still a Tomb Raider game, with enough puzzles to keep you entertained.Tomb Raider: Underworld represents a new advancement in exploration-based gameplay. It feels very different to the originals, with a more human Lara, and much more violence. Tomb Raider is an excellent action adventure. Voice acting is good throughout, and the ambient effects are great. It's very often a beautiful game, with stunning views and excellent effects. Since the beginning, Tomb Raider games have had great looking environments, and this time is no exception.

However, the gameplay overall easily matches that of Uncharted. Lara is much less of a superhero in Tomb Raider, and it feels like she's still learning.Ĭontrols are well implemented for general gameplay, but some of the quicktime events don't feel right. Lara is still great fun to control, but this time she sounds like she's putting much more effort into her climbing and jumping. Once you've got through the opening scenes, which are very exciting, but don't require much skill, Tomb Raider starts to develop.

This isn't a game you'll buy for multiplayer, but thankfully the single player more than makes up for it. Tomb Raider has an excellent one player campaign, and the obligatory multiplayer tacked on.
