"For those who don't want to kill the exotic animals (and humans) in Tomb Raider: Underworld, assistant producer Adam Phillips tells me that players can also use a tranquilizer gun."

Oh, good. This always bothered me about Tomb Raider games. I know it's silly, but I feel terrible when I have to kill animals.
I also hope they get the aiming right in the Wii version. It was really hard knowing where I was shooting in Legend because of the weird way that they handled the reticule.

So you don't feel terrible about killing a bunch of humans?

Speaking of which,this reminds me of PETA's criticism of Tomb Raider...Two, I think.Bunch of fucking hypocrites.

Wii version?

On, yeah, I guess that the post does mention one. Calling it a version is sort of a misnomer at this point isn't it though? I don't know why they even give those games the same title.

Hypocrites? How so?

The neighbor kid would always get mad when I played Tomb Raider because you had to kill Wolves and Bears. I kinda laughed him off, buy I can totally sympathize.

In real life you have no reason to outright attack a Wolf or Bear, as they would never outright attack a human... But humans on the other hand, we are always fighting each other. We are far more accepting to fighting virtual humans in video games. Plus Bears and *Especially* Wolves are very unfairly demonized animals, it sucks to see them presented in even more negative light. Almost as much as it sucks to hear of yet another shark bite in the national news.

I have no problem killing humans. I was more disappointed when they messed with her cup size some years back.

If it's anything like TR:LEGEND, I'm hyped.

It's weird for me, because prior to LEGEND, I disliked the series completely.

TR2 was the greatest action/adventure game ever made.

This looks pretty good. I picked up Anniversary for $7 bucks at Target and really enjoyed it. So, for whatever reason, I'm ready for a new Tomb Raider.

I think that they might've been on sale on Steam once. Not sure if they were quite that low, though, as it's been ages.

It was on one of those clearance headers at the end of an isle. $7.46 was the total, and my local Target (Fultondale, AL) had like 10 copies of it.

Sounds cool and all, but I wish they would get rid of some of the unrealistic gadgets like the grapple and the 3d map. It doesn't fit Tomb Raider.

This game is really starting to interest me. So much so that I wanted to pick up Legend... And it's still going for $50 new on 360.

Would anyone recommend the GCN / PS2 versions over 360 (don't want to have to hook my Xbox up for just one game), and on the same note would anyone recommend the PS2 / Wii versions of Anniversary over 360?

If anyone gets the chance, read the Play Magazine "Tomb Raider 8" reveal from January. Dave Halverson doesn't stop talking about "Dimples on Laura's Derriere" XD

http://www.buy.com/prod/tomb-raider-legend/q/loc/108/202372969.html

Buy.com has it for less than $30.

If you still dont want to hook up your xbox I played the PS2 version and it was just fine. Other than HD resolution I dont think its a huge upgrade over the PS2 version.

Iunno were you're finding it for 50 bucks still, I picked it up for, I think, 14 used at gamestop.

I've only ever seen it recently $40-50 NEW. Don't do used games that aren't 15 years old and written on a ROM Cartridge.

Thanks for the buy.com link though, never think to check there... Unfortunately they are sold out.

Well, it isn't... But I have to drive to my parents, and dig around for it as I packed it away almost two years ago. It would be an uncessesary hassle just to play the Xbox version of Tomb Raider: Legend, so if I can't find a cheaper Xbox 360 version... I'd much rather just play the PS2 or GCN versions just for the heck of playing them. Thanks for the input though.

Miguel is right, the 360 version was just Spiffinated from the PS2 version. Still a great game, a huge achievement for a series that I bailed on in the first 10 minutes of the first game.

Apparently you didn't play enough Legend to unlock the bikinis. Sadly, you couldn't go into the tombs with them :/

I recently played through both Legend and Anniv. on 360 and had a blast.

They sell used at Gamestop for $15 and $25, respectively. There also is a 20% off used games coupon valid this week (good through closing Thursday night). Hit up the forums on cheapassgamer.com to find the coupon (or just check your email if you get the GS newsletter).

So yeah, um, Lara gets dirty now.

She got dirty in Lengend too. Does jumping into water still clean it off? I thought they did a brilliant job on Legend actually making her clothes look wet and slowly drying out.

Oh yeah. Guess I forgot about that. Still, the devs made a point to mention it, so maybe she gets dirty in some new, high tech way...

Yea, the dirt effects were pretty simple but the system worked really well. Hopefully they'll be able to add some more detail in those respects.

Looking forward to this one-I loved the first game on the PS1, and really enjoyed the remake on the Wii (Anniversary). I just hope they improved the combat-while-swimming from the earlier games-those were pretty frustrating.

I think her knockers have special abilities.

They can hypnotize enemies and male tigers into obeying Lara's commands.

Extra boost while she is wet.

You know, I never heard the word "embiggen" until I moved to Springfield.

I don't know why, it's a perfectly cromulent word.
