Description
Tomb Raider: Underworld™ represents a new advancement in exploration-based gameplay. As the fearless adventurer Lara Croft, players explore, raid and solve the mysteries of exotic locations around the world, each designed in breathtaking high-definition visual fidelity that creates a truly believable world and delivers a new level of challenge and choice.
In Tomb Raider: Underworld, Lara Croft uncovers proof of the Norse underworld and the mythical hammer of Thor, the Norse god of thunder. Legend holds that Thor’s hammer has the power to smash mountains into valleys and to destroy even the gods. For more than a thousand years it has existed only as a myth…until now. As Lara attempts to unravel the secrets behind these myths, players will embark on a perilous journey toward a forgotten power that, if unleashed, could lay waste to all civilization.
Features

- Explore epic and unknown worlds: Discover ancient mysteries of the underworld hidden within the coast of Thailand, frozen islands of the Arctic Sea, the jungles of Mexico, and more.
- Treacherous and unpredictable challenges: Each level is an elaborate multi-stage puzzle masked within an interactive environmental playground offering more flexibility over how the area is solved.

- New state-of-the-art gear: Utilize the latest technology in Lara’s
upgraded inventory to navigate the world including:
- Active Sonar map: A revolutionary new tool that emits an active sonar ping to create a 3D image of Lara’s surroundings, perfect for uncovering hidden items and locations.
- Multi-purpose grapple: A claw-like device with a high-tension cable designed for climbing, rappelling, performing wall runs and manipulating objects within the environment.
