Not so sure about the plot, but the gameplay is fairly decent. Its not terrible, but I got bored of it, but that's just my problem. Its actually better than Legend, is what people told me.

It's normal. Nothing special at all about the game. Don't expect things like awesome graphics or awesome plot or awesome gameplay. Everything is just not good but not that bad. If you really want it then try to get a cheap copy but u might probably ditch the game after first playthrough.

I thought it was a great game. Storyline is ok (nothing great), and the puzzles are alot easier to figure out compared to the older TR's, but graphically it is very clean and controls are very easy to get used too. I would recommend it. If you liked any of the other TR games you should like Underworld.

Okay, thanks. Now the real question.

Underworld or Anniversary?

A friend of mine told me that Anniversary is really frustrating towards the end. So I would say Underworld.

gameplay is standard Tomb Raider stuff; with Anniversary you will have more difficult monsters to fight, which isn't really an issue since combat never is the focus of the series.

the real strength of Underworld is its graphic, the best of all TR and with 3D vision, it provides one of the most impressive gaming experiences.

I thought it was okay, but I still think TR:Legends was a better game overall.

The problem with all of those games is the camera in tight spaces. When you have to make a series of jumps quickly (like at the end of Anniversary) jumping exactly where you want to can be tricky thanks to the camera. Not the worst timed platforming I have ever been through (Psychonauts comes to mind) but ocassionally painful.

man...I can understand people dissing gameplay and plot, each has different cup of coffee, but to say Uderworld's graphic is crap?

it's the best looking TR game thus far and more, to me, it's hard press to find a better looking adventure game out there.

I loved both Anniversary and Underworld but the latter is slightly more buggy, like sometimes you might get trapped in a rock crevice in a jump animation but those are few and far between. It's standard Tomb Raider stuff, exploring and solving puzzles but in Underworld, they're much larger in scope. And Underworld's visuals are stunning, but they're largely the same as Legend.

It`s OK, but somehow it`s to hard (to me) to do all that special moves and jumps.
Lara deserves stronger story and better graphics.
