Genre and what to do:
Adventure game. You are going to play as the heroine of many popular stories. You play as Lara Croft and need to be real hero. Everything starts as Lara explores coordinates that lead her to an ancient ruin on the Mediterranean Sea floor. The game covers both the mystery surrounding her mother as well as the last research that her father did before he died. As she investigates, she uncovers a rather surprising find: a site dedicated to both Norse mythology and evidence. All this indicates that Thor's hammer, the mythical weapon wielded by the God of Thunder, actually exists. The refinements to gameplay are easy combat sequences regardless of player tailoring and exploratory sequences that are plagued with technical issues.
Style and atmosphere inside the game:
The meat of Underworld lies in clambering around the gorgeous environments, which convey a wonderful contrast of tight construction and, at times, immense scale. Game includes 6 levels and the prologue. You are able to manipulate Lara's acrobatics when it comes to swinging on poles, scaling walls and other moves. Lara now gains the ability to aim at and fire at two separate enemies that happen to be targeting her at the same time. Lara's animations are quite well done as well. The spoken dialogue though the game is very well done, and the musical score is great. One of the features that can be disappointment is that the camera is sometimes malevolent. This system also extends to more than basic controls, because it winds up affecting the exploratory nature of the game as well. All in all the game is worth to play, because of the opportunity to safe the world.
