TOMB RAIDER II

STARRING LARA CROFT

Lara Croft ritorna in Tomb Raider 2 per scoprire il segreto del pugnale di Xian. Gli Antichi Cinesi credevano che chiunque riuscisse a recuperare questo mistico pugnale avrebbe guadagnato poteri al di sopra di ogni immaginazione, sempre che avesse il coraggio di spingere il pugnale dentro al proprio cuore.

I viaggi di Lara cominciano sulla Grande Muraglia cinese ma non per molto, prima che il suo girovagare in cerca del tesoro la porti vicino alla meta finale. Comunque Lara non sarà sola nella sua aventura: questa volta ci sono altri concorrenti che mostrano un fanatico interesse per il mistico pugnale.

Con una nuova "avanzata" Lara Croft, con tanto di cambi di vestito durante l'avventura, Tomb Raider II combina la clasica giocabilità dell'episodio originale con una serie di innovazioni como nuovi movimenti, nuove armi e una trama che vedrà Lara correre e "muoversi", dietro ogni angolo.
