This game has had a lot of attention, but, in all reality, was it really that great? For someone who has played Tomb Raider Legend and Tomb Raider Anniversary, I must say that this one did not stack up to its promises. It was too easy and too short. Although, there were a few moments, very annoying ones I must say, that got me stuck...but it had nothing to do with the puzzles themselves, but more like with the controls.
Also, I did not like the fact that she had her home destroyed. What a dissapointment. One of my favourite parts of the Tomb Raider franchise is exploring her immense mansion. Why did they have to destroy it?
Overall, the game was too easy and short, with not much to choose from. Nevertheless, the graphics were gorgeous, along with the locations. She had a wider range of motion, which made it easier to control her. I still think that Legend and Anniversary were better. Legend and Anniversary gave me a more Tomb Raider-like feeling while playing them. Underworld felt like a totally another game. I don't want to know what the next game will feel like, as the developers took it completely out of context. It doesn't look or even sound like Tomb Raider anymore. It's not even the Lara Croft we came to know, any longer. Talking about ruining a good franchise.
They changed her M-shaped lips, her quirky eyebrows, her braid, which, by the way, it always has been her trademark, her super curvy body, her dark hair (now she looks more like a light reddish brown, or even a redhead)....they made her face look average, and that ponytail...so NOT Lara Croft. Anniversary was the closest to what Tomb Raider is. Legend, I actually enjoyed that game very much, despite that they changed the way she looks, the game was really fun to play, and it felt right. Tomb Raider Underworld? Meh...
