Tomb Raider: Underworld for Xbox 360 by Eidos resumes where Tomb Raider: Legend left off. This installment introduces a new, interactive playing environment that gives players a chance to immerse themselves more fully into the game. Players once again take the role of Lara Croft as she explores such wide-ranging places as the Arctic, Mexico, and beneath the Mediterranean Sea.

Unlike the previous games in the series, Lara's environment is now much more realistic and interactive. Footprints will be left in mud, for example, but only until it rains and then they will wash away. Lara's shirt will also get wet, and she's more likely to lose her grip if she is standing on a slippery, rain-soaked ledge. When the sun comes out, her shirt will dry and the slippery surfaces regain their friction.
In Underworld, Lara also has a lot more flexibility in how she makes her way through a level, as there is often more than one way to get from here to there. She can now climb walls with texture and rocky outcroppings to reach areas she previously wouldn't have been able to access.
All of these additions have been made to give the game a non-linear, open feel. Players can interactive with the environment by doing things they find to be intuitive, and the game will respond in an appropriate way. When Lara interacts with trees, for example, she will push aside leaves using either one or two hands depending on whether or not she's holding something. These details give a lifelike, immersive sensation to the game.
New Melee Combat System
Underworld introduces a new melee combat system that requires players to strategically strike with offensive, defensive, and evasive maneuvers. Lara can now attack enemies with different punches, kicks, knees, and other acrobatic onslaughts. Items lying on the ground, such as poles that were previously walked on, can be picked up and swung at enemies. Players can also perform a greater variety of actions with weapons; for example, Lara can now hold onto a ledge with one hand and fire a gun with the other.
Realistic Enemy and Animal AI
The AI in Tomb Raider: Underworld has also taken a big step forward--both enemies and animals now make independent decisions based on their surroundings, employ ambush and squad tactics when fighting, and will retreat if deemed necessary.
Tomb Raider: Underworld is loaded with a new melee combat system, various weapons, and smarter AI for both enemies and animals.
HUGE GLITCH IN GAME XBOX 360 VESION (2008-11-23)
THE GAME ITSELF LOOKS AMAZING BUT THERE IS A GLITCH IN THE FIRST LEVEL (PATH TO AVALON) WHERE YOU HAVE TO GET 2 AXELS IN ORDER TO OPEN A BIG UNDERWATER GATE AND ONE OF THE AXELS IS NOT IN THE GAME.....THERE ARE 2 CAVERNS. THE AXEL IN THE BIG CAVERN IS THERE ON A TABLE BUT THE SECOND AXEL IS SUPPOSED TO BE ON A TABLE IN THE LITTLE CAVERN AND THAT TABLE HAS NOTHING ON IT. I SEARCHED FOR HOURS ALL AROUND FOR THAT AXEL AND IT IS NOT THERE!!!!!!! I CAN'T EVEN PLAY THE GAME BECAUSE OF THIS!!!
Tomb Raider once again takes a step in the right direction (2008-11-23)
Tomb Raider Underworld not only redefines how Lara plays, but it takes the exploration aspect of the series into a whole new direction, and for the better.
I could not help but stare in amazement how amazing the environments are in this game, and best of all the game drops you off in the middle of them, forcing you to explore the lush world that is presented to you.
From the platforming to the gunplay, this game was satisfying from start to finish. The puzzles will always keep you on your toes and once again I have found a game that not only challenges problem solving abilities but it also gives you a great sense of accomplishment once you overcome the puzzles it throws at you.
In all, this was a great adventure. This is one of my favorite games this year, and I don't regret at all spending $60 on this title. Any Tomb Raider fan will fall in love with this instantly, and newcomers will quickly find and come to enjoy what we all have been enjoying since Crystal Dynamics kicked off the revival of the Tomb Raider series with Tomb Raider Legend. In all, I recommend this very superb adventure game.
Terrible camera (2008-11-21)
The game has a terrible camera making accurate jumps impossible in many situations. The limited combat is also uninteresting. There are a lot of better games out there now. I would pass on this one.
