Lara Croft Tomb Raider: Legend is a third person action adventure game which once again stars the classic heroine Lara Croft but this time features new gameplay mechanics meant to revitalize a franchise which many believe has gotten a little tired. The game
features a new graphics engine which brings the characters to life like never before. It also has a revamped physics system which provides realistic water and fire which helps bring the environments to life. There is also a new
control system which is meant to make moving through the game an intuitive and fluid experience for the player.
The game is based around a horrific plane crash which Lara endured as a child. The events of that day, specifically the disappearance of her mother Lady Amelia Croft, haunts her in her everyday life. When Lara hears of a clue as to what happened she immediately begins her quest to discover the truth. Lara embarks on a journey to collect fragments of a mythical sword which holds the secret to what happened just shortly after the plane crash and is also the basis for the Excalibur legend. However the player will quickly discover that Lara is not the only tomb raider after the fragments. A long lost friend along with an army of mercenaries will try to stop her at every turn in order to wield the awesome power of the relics.
The basic character of Lara Croft changed very little over the course of the series before this version was announced. In previous versions Lara wore a light blue tank top and had size 36-D breasts. In this version Lara has a more realistic C cup which makes her athletic moves far more believable. Her outfit has
also been modified and updated for the times. Her default outfit is a brown t-shirt and booty shorts. The character model was changed as a way to attract a female demographic and remove the stigma of being nothing but a sex symbol for teenage boys.
Outfits
Although Lara spends most of the game in her basic brown shirt and booty shorts, she does change into different outfits which better suit the environments she is exploring. Lara sports a warm winter coat for cold destinations, a sleek motorcycle outfit and a sexy evening gown for more formal affairs. In one flash back Lara is also seen wearing the traditional blue tank top and brown shorts as was featured in past versions of Tomb Raider.
Lara travels across the world in search of a legendary artifact. The game is considered a restart for the series after the poor reception for Angel of Darkness. It is also the first Tomb Raider game developed by Crystal Dynamics after they took over the role from Core Design.
