Laura's swan dive into gaming
When most people think of Tomb Raider they think of the incredibly busty babe in short shorts from England that duels two hand guns and a back pack the size of a small purse. Depsite Core Design's successful attempt at creating a video game sex symbol, the actual Tomb Raider game itself is quite a classic. The game is an action adventure taking much of its inspiration and ques from the famed Indiana Jones series. However instead of Indy we have the more attractive archeaologist Laura Croft. The game's story is set around a pretty well done mythical tale about Atlantis and treasure. You'll find yourself in the mountains of Peru, in the abondoned ruins of the Roman empire, and yes you guessed it...Atlantis. The level's are all nicely varied and gradually up the difficulty as you go along. Tomb Raider is a pretty big adventure game mixed some excellent and intense shootouts, Weapon upgrades, and of course some very ticky puzzles. The games level designs are also very impressive. Each level bolsters some amazing graphics textures and art design that are very long so you never feel like you were not getting the bang for your buck. Also another impressive feature the game has are it's pre-rendured cutscenes which were amazing for their time back in 1996. If you want to blast your way through some elaborate dungeons, intense boss fights, and an overal great story there is nothing better than the original Tomb Raider.
