Tomb Raider: Underworld featuring Underwater levels
tombnews.com
special preview of Tomb Raider: Underworld and includes new information and
screenshots on the underwater levels. Als it includes a first look at Lara
Croft in scuba gear.
According to Playstation magazine, "Seeing Lara squeezed into a wetsuit,
standing on the deck of her luxury yacht anchored in the Med, two things are
clear. First, we really need to return 'Into The Blue' to the video shop.
Second, the grave-robbing must be going well if she can afford the kind of
boat that Donald Trump would dismiss as 'showy'. Lara arrives at this new
location - the first level of Tomb Raider Underworld - after learning her
father found something here shortly before he disappeared. And at the bottom
of the sea lies a submerged temple that hides a lot of the answers to Lara's
questions."
"This location is hiding a big secret, though. The main chamber is blocked
by a Kraken whose tentacles are wound through the door, pulling it firmly
shut. Getting rid of the big squid involves leaping from ledges and poles to
creaky old switches and mechanisms, finally releasing a large platform
suspended over the leggy flesh-sack's head. The multi-puzzle is classic
Raider. "
"One of the new game-play features in Underworld appears as Lara clambers
through the cavern. As she crosses a bridge the Kraken swings one of his
tree-sized tentacles, triggering an 'Adrenaline Moment.' Rather than the
button matching mini-games from Legend or Anniversary, this causes a flash
of slow motion, giving Lara a split second to evade the limb as it crushes
the bridge under her feet. Perhaps the best demonstration of just how good
this all looks in action, however, comes when Lara reaches the last switch
and drops the platform onto the creature - crushing it under a huge slab of
rock. It's impossible to tell whether squid-face's roaring death throes and
thrashing tentacles are a glossy CGI sequence or the in-game engine."
The July 2008 issue of Playstation magazine is now on sale across the UK and
in some bookstores across the globe. Tomb Raider: Underworld, currently in
development at Crystal Dynamics studios from Eidos Interactive, will be
available before christmas on PC, PS3, Xbox 360, NDS, Wii and PS2.
