Time was that we wouldn't get excited about a new Tomb Raider game. Far from it, in fact; with each new game adhering to the same basic pattern – a succession of so-so puzzles broken up by the odd shooting segment or awkward cutscene – a sense of impending disappointment filled the air every time a new instalment was announced. But not any more. With Core gone and Crystal Dynamics now at the helm, Ms. Croft has enjoyed a considerable upturn in fortunes of late. Gone are the days when lazy developers would attempt to offset the dwindling quality of each successive game by further inflating Lara's breasts; nowadays, you're far more likely to see a more realistically proportioned Croft vaulting and jumping around some well-designed levels instead.
But while Legend and Anniversary have gone a long way to stopping the rot, we've yet to see a Tomb Raider game this generation that can truly be described as a 'must have' – something which Crystal Dynamics is hoping to change with Underworld. Lara's latest adheres to the basic qualities you'd expect to find in a Tomb Raider game – a background story grounded in the real world but with a mythical twist, puzzle led gameplay with a dash of action to spice things up, and of course, Lara's considerable feminine charms."
Despite its relatively modest reputation in the greater gaming landscape, Tomb Raider Underworld was a huge game for AI development.
