Tomb Raider: Underworld
PS2 version out in the UK this Friday.
Wednesday 21st January, UK/... Eidos Interactive, creator of some of the world’s leading videogame properties, today announces Tomb Raider: Underworld™ on PlayStation® 2 will be in stores throughout the UK this Friday 23rd January.
With development led by Crystal Dynamics, Tomb Raider: Underworld™ takes PlayStation® 2 players on an epic adventure, where they will face greater challenges and choices than ever before. Tomb Raider: Underworld™ represents a new advancement in exploration-based gameplay on PlayStation 2® and sees fearless adventurer Lara Croft™ explore a series of exotic locations around the world. Each environment has been designed with an incredible attention to detail and delivers a new level of challenge and choice.
For generations, stories have been told of the fearsome weapon of the Norse god Thor. Legend holds that he who wields the hammer has the power to smash mountains into valleys and the strength to destroy even the gods. For more than a thousand years it has existed only as a myth…until now.
In an ancient ruin on the floor of the Mediterranean Sea, Lara Croft™ uncovers proof of the Norse underworld and the mythical hammer. As she attempts to unravel the secrets behind these myths, Lara’s perilous journey leads her toward a forgotten power that, if unleashed, could lay waste to all civilization.
