Amazon.co.uk Review
Lara Croft returns in the fourth instalment of the popular
Tomb Raider series. The newest effort brings the Internet-pinup back to the Egyptian tombs she roamed in the series opener (the now-classic
Tomb Raider). Our heroine must seek out Horus, an Egyptian god that has the ability to capture the evil soul Set. With a combination of puzzle solving and sharp gaming skills, Lara will navigate through numerous Egyptian locations, including Cairo, Karnak, Giza, Valley of the Kings, and Alexandria.
This game promises to unveil vital background information on Lara Croft, who has emerged as an Internet cult icon since the release of the original Tomb Raider in the mid-1990s. At one point in the game, you will flash back to Lara at age 16 to see the origins of her adventurous spirit.
While gameplay remains faithful to the preceding titles in the series, there are also several new gameplay elements to explore, including a new inventory system, new weapons, and new moves. --Brett Atwood, Amazon.com
