simply titled lara croft an impressive
specimen you will serve me well don’t
hold your breath number two the plot the
guardian of light centers on Laragh
discovering a thousand-year-old Central
American legend about a battle between
Totec the guardian of light sands alladi
the keeper of darkness according to the
Mayan legend salati defeated tote
ex-army by using a weapon called the
mirror of smoke yet Totec managed to
trap him within the mirror that is until
the day that Lara Croft discovered its
location unfortunately a band of
mercenaries and their warlord steal the
mirror from her and unwittingly released
its prisoner as a result Totec joins
Lara in a quest to recapture the
creature before dawn when its power will
be fully restored 2000 years in this
prison now bathe in your blood number 3
gameplay as a major departure for the
series the game will not be a
third-person adventure instead it will
be a nonlinear arcade inspired action
game using an isometric view and fixed
camera as the tombs are explored there
will be booby-trapped puzzles to solve
and hordes of enemies to fight and to
make things more exciting there will be
branching paths to choose from that’s
sorted
let’s go and find your ugly friend
number for the protagonists the game’s
most exciting feature is its
introduction of two player online and
offline cooperative play selecting
between lara and Totec each character
will possess unique weapons and skills
lera will retain her iconic dual pistols
with infinite ammo and grappling hook
Totec on the other hand will carry a
shield that can become a platform to
stand on and Spears that create pathways
for her to climb plus he will be able to
drop bombs that can be detonated with
the touch of a button and will prove
useful in solving certain puzzles this
is my kind of magic just put it down and
get out of the way number 5 cooperative
play players who prefer to go at it
alone will be able to while the second
player will be able to drop in or drop
out at any time however when the game is
played alone the default character is
Lara that she will have all the tools
required to make it through the
adventure by herself as the map will be
generated slightly different oh my god
number 6 game engine in music carrying
over much of the same team that worked
on tomb raider underworld guardian of
light also uses much of the same game
engine and music these modified assets
included in game physics character
models real-time lighting effects and
musical scores
with the focus on creating a fun and
imaginative adventure and not on
creating all new animations the game
benefits from the shift of focus in fact
it won’t require any loading time
whatsoever you have to be kidding me
number 7 downloadable content as a
download only title the game will take
up between two and seven gigabytes
depending on your platform of choice
available for the pc xbox 360 and
playstation 3 gamers will be able to
expand their adventures with five
optional downloadable content packs that
boost the number of puzzles and maps
available I think it’s time we upgraded
your equipment with its unique arcade
style gameplay Lara Croft’s new focus on
multiplayer action is sure to thrill
adventure seekers while giving the
franchise a much needed change of pace
