Synopsis

Summary

Tomb Raider: Chronicles reveals four newly discovered, and previously untold adventures, taking you on a journey from the ruins of Rome, to the bowels of a German U boat, to the rooftops of a hi-tech city in a search of four ancient artifacts.

In light of Lara's recent disappearance, those closest to her gather together at the Croft Estate on a gray, rainy day for a memorial service in her honor. Afterwards, the friends sit quietly together in the study of the Croft Mansion and provide new insights about Lara's past exploits; exploits that have until now remained a secret...

Features

  • Create your own adventures with the Tomb Raider level editor, including an example/tutorial level plus all the tools required to construct levels. (PC Version Only)
  • Utilize new moves to overcome obstacles: tightrope walking, parallel bar swinging, and a hand-to-hand stealth attack.
  • Enhanced inventory system for greater combinations of a variety of weapons and items.
  • Search through cabinets, shelves and drawers for inventory items.
  • Discover the back story: four unique scenarios from the past that give more details about Lara's young and adult life as well as characters from previous adventures.

Gameplay

The game uses the same engine that created The Last Revelation. Lara can perform all the moves from the previous games but Chronicles boasts no new moves. The only weapon to be added to Lara's arsenal is the grappling gun which is only used twice in the game. The HK Gun is not a new weapon, but rather an upgrade of the MP5. Graphics are slightly improved, with better reflections off Lara's catsuit, a new outfit which Lara wears later in the game.

The only unique essence about Chronicles is the story telling mode which it adopts, the short but snappy stories do not intertwine with each other. Larson and Pierre Du Pont make a second appearence giving us some chronological order to the adventures that take place. Along with Chronicles, comes the Level Editor, a chance for players to edit rooms and create their own obstacles, then test them using Lara.

Again Croft Mansion does not appear in the game. Instead, a short obstacle and training course disguised as a backstage area of an opera house makes an appearence at the beginning of the level: Streets of Rome.
