alright...i guess....
The beginning of the story puts poor Lara knee-deep into a grave and most unpleasant situation (GASP!). Accused of murdering her one-time mentor, Werner Von Croy, Lara starts her journeys as a fugitive from justice; an outcast. On top of that, she stumbles upon a creepy Alchemist and a mysterious group of individuals who are striving to unleash an incredible and unholy power upon the world. At the same time, our attractive female adventurer must unravel a series of gruesome killings that could in one way or another be connected to a more sinister mystery. Rushing through the rainy back-alleys in a desperate effort to avoid the police, Lara Croft begins another one of her adventures. Mostly going through various locations in Paris and Prague, you'll be solving puzzles, escaping deadly traps, and fighting off dangerous foes. In all honesty, the storyline was one of my initial disappointments. After a while, I was fed-up by the fairly week and uninteresting plot structure in addition to very bad characterization. The much-hyped "character interaction" also didn't amount up to anything that could add a dash of flare to the whole experience. The fact is that no matter what you say or do (with only one or two exceptions) your character will go through a predetermined set of events and dialogue sequences.
