Yet to play it. :ashamed:

Nobody seemed to have put up any screenies apart from one or two on the game so thought of putting up a thread. Post the game impressions if you've got your hands on this one.

Shall be playing it in a day or two. :)
 
gameplay is good enough to keep u occupied.... i finished the game, the missions get way better in the end.. not many creatures tho.. puzzles are nice too.. go on ahead n play :D
 
Tomb raider underworld is much more enjoyable than Prince of persia the puzzles are notch easy and the game play keeps u hooked but the gunnplay is very weak but the graphics are uberawsesome.and lara is modeled to pure pixel perfection
 
Started yesterday. Looks good. Awesome rendering and not too heavy on gfx I suppose.

Lara looks gorgeous as ever. :P

The good ol' rival Jacqueline Natla is back. :D
 
I had completed the game about a month ago. I'd have to say that it's the best looking Tomb Raider game till date. I have not touched a single Lara Croft title in years but this was the only Tomb Raider game which I actually sat through & completed it.

The gameplay is pretty standard like all other tomb raider games. You'll have more of puzzles than action elements. You'll have 2 weapons for each level. The dual pistols would be available by default.As for your secondary weapon, you can choose from a shotgun, machine gun, Uzi OR a Tranq Gun at the beginning of each level. The best part, unlimited ammo. Consisting of seven chapters, you'll have variety of areas to cover. Everything from the beautiful Mediterranean Sea to the ultra-vivid landscapes of Thailand. The graphics are just jaw dropping & the level design is great. Storyline isn't top notch but should be decent enough to hold you through the game. Camera angles are the worst aspect of the game. They just seem to be awkwardly positioned at times. Soundtrack is superb.

You'll have a total 8 hours of gameplay, pretty short I would say. Better download the latest patch for the game as it fixes a some of the bugs which plagued the game. Replay value for the game is a bit less unless you like collecting all the relics spread throughout the game. Rest assured, the title is very entertaining.

Unfortunately, I have only a few screenshots of this game. Here you go:

















 
currently playing it on the PS3. Was disappointed with the first level (underwater) but it's only been getting progressively better after that. The Thailand level was awesome...
 
Am stuck in this game in final chapter.

Well I am actually in the bottom of this giant poison spilling serpant statue. I pushed the 3 big blocks behind here, then I am having trouble in getting to the top of the serpant. Constantly spawning thralls and fireballs from lady making this task difficult.

Can anybody help me with this!

And by the way, this game runs awesome in 8600GT!
 
u see the first of the support pillars breaks in the video.. u gotta pull the rest of them too.. its at the top of the support pillars at the back.. and for the final one(the order doesn't matter) u need to use those flying blocks..
 
Me stuck in Bhogavati level. :S

The place where she's to use her gauntlet to turn the bridge (where Thor stands next to it). Tried doing every $hit I can. Couldn't figure out. There's a bug or I'm missing something. Someone help me out please. :(

Disclaimer: I've not applied the patch. That'd be done today. :P
 
Completed the game. 7/10 from my side.

Treasures're literally strewn everywhere to be picked up. Bad idea. They should've had fewer on the map so that it gets interesting.

Lots of nasty bugs here and there despite applying the patch. The puzzles *sigh* were a notch tougher compared to TR:Annv and TR:Legend. I got a feeling of playing TR Chronicles somewhere in between. :S

Waiting for the next one. :D
