Tomb Raider Underworld (PS3)

The long awaiting return for lara croft one of the most recognisable video game creations ever. The PS3 is one of the best platforms for palying virtually any game on and Tomb Raider Underworld doesn't disappoint. The graphics are brilliant and if you have the PS3 connected to a full HD tv are crystal clear. You can tell as soon as the opening sequence starts on this game that Eidos have spent lots of time and effort to produce some of the best graphics around. The graphics do make you feel like your in Thailand or Mexico and the sound effects for the tiger's roaring can make you jump especially if you've got it plugged into the surround sound ...  Read the complete review

In the game, you play as Lara who is searching for the mytical Norse god, Thor. In your journey, you travel through many countries and cultures. The graphics are some of the best I have seen using a HDTV. The graphics make the place look fantastic and you will feel like you are in the game. The soundtrack works very well getting you into the game. The story mode is ok but only lasts around 7-8 hours. The game has some replayability on different difficulties but will only really be worth replaying when trophies are added at the beginning of 2009. The enviroments and levels are very well designed. In the game, you have to jump through obstacles ...  Read the complete review

This installment of Tomb Raider is most definitely the best ive played, its graphically clean and clear with good controls, good camera work great level ingenuity and unexpectedly good enemy AI. The storyline is quite easy to grasp and flows really well from mission to mission. It does harken back to previous games so some players may find this irritating and end up perpetually saying to themselves 'Who the hell is that?' as did i. But in terms of plot line this will not effect things very much, and has no effect on the flow and the gameplay. The big thing about this game thought is its gameplay, which is a pleasure, the controls are easy to deal, ...  Read the complete review

This is a great game and if you are a fan of the film then you will be a fan of this game. Game play itself does take a bit of getting used to but once you have worked out how to use the controls to the best of your advantage it is very simple to play The graphics in this game are very good they are crisp and clear the 3d effect of actually being there makes this game even more realistic and this combined with the sound effects makes it a very real feeling game to play. This game isnt something you will have completed or be bored of in a few hours it is the type of game you can play for hours without even realising it and can play day in ...  Read the complete review
