Tomb Raider Underworld is the sequel to the Legend game. This games used a totally new engine and motion-capture movements. Lara has once again a new look and a more realistic body. The melee combat has returned since his last appearance in AOD… but not as good as before… all we get is one melee kick. There are also new weapons in this game. Besides Lara’s lovely dual-guns, you can now play with Dual-Uzis, Spear gun, Tranquilizer gun, a assault rifle and the mythic Hammer of Thor.
STORY
Lara Croft is searching for the mythical resting place of King Arthur, Avalon. Underneath the Mediterranean Sea Lara discovers Thor's gauntlet and then has an encounter with an old enemy, Jacqueline Natla, who has been imprisoned by Legend's antagonist, Amanda Evert. Natla tells Lara that the Norse underworld, Helheim and Avalon are one and the same and that she will need to find Thor' Hammer to open the Underworld.
Lara soon discovers to find and wield the hammer she will have to find Thor's other gauntlet and his belt, to retrieve these artifacts she must explore underworlds all around the globe, facing the creatures, traps and puzzles that guard them. However, Lara discovers that Helhiem may contain a powerful weapon that could put the world in danger. Lara also finds herself faced with a doppelgänger of herself created by Natla, who burns down her house and kills one of Lara's assistants, Alister Fletcher.
