In Tomb Raider, you assume the role of a beautiful archaeologist, Lara Croft. She is a thrill seeker and is willing to do almost anything that puts her life in danger – she enjoys it. Naturally, Lara jumped all over the opportunity to recover the powerful Scion, an ancient relic scattered throughout the caverns and temples of the world.

Played from a 3rd person 3D perspective, her adventure spans over 15 levels set in 4 distinct worlds and environments. As Lara you’ll have to solve ancient riddles in the Egyptian Pyramids, discover the Lost City of Atlantis and traverse through Ancient Rome all while looking for the artefact. Each level is laced with traps and hazards that require you to flip, swim and climb your way to safety and success.

Along the way, you’ll engage in battle with countless enemies including wolves, bears and the occasional “extinct” dinosaur. Fortunately, you have a slew of weapons at your disposal. Lara’s default weapon is dual pistols and as you progress further into the game, you’ll come across shotguns, magnums and an Uzi. When the ammunition is running low, you’ll have to make good use of her various manoeuvres to avoid enemy contact.

Look out Indiana Jones – Lara’ s in town.
