Tomb Raider Underworld review PS3

Ten years since she first burst onto our screens, Lara Croft is still a huge draw for gamers, and the prospect of a new Tomb Raider game is still a very exciting one. The eighth in the franchise, Tomb Raider: Underworld, is due for release at the end of this year, so there's still a while to wait, but we've got a first look preview, complete with shots of the game and Lara herself, in this issue of P3Zine. Should start the anticipation rising nicely - check out our preview of Tomb Raider: Underworld now!

Tomb Raider Underworld review PS3

It's almost hard to believe it's been more than ten years since Lara first flipped onto our screens. Some seven games, 30 million units, and many raided Tombs later, you could be forgiven for thinking Eidos would be feeling pretty happy with how the series is going. Pulling itself from the fiery jaws of oblivion following the dreadful Angel of Darkness, Tomb Raider: Legend was exactly what Lara needed - a return to the mechanics of the original game, that actually involved some, you know, raiding of tombs.

But apparently, Eidos weren't entirely pleased, as for Tomb Raider: Underworld, a reinvention is on the cards. Once again taking the series back to its roots, the first true next-gen Tomb Raider will see you exploring environments no human has set foot in for hundreds of years, raiding people's burial chambers all across the globe, and, presumably, ruining a fair few pairs of hotpants as you go.
