Tomb Raider: Underworld lets you kick tigers right in the face

by Ludwig Kietzmann { Aug 29th 2008 at 2:30PM }

The renowned adventurer and acrobatic grave robber, Lara Croft, finds her lithe self on the wrong side of a PETA protest yet again in November's Tomb Raider: Underworld. Though her abhorrent antics, which include mowing down exotic panthers and posing akimbo on the perforated corpses of fuzzy bears, have been widely witnessed before, these latest anti-animal maneuvers still leave our jaws agape. Or dislocated, if you're a marauding tiger who's just been introduced to the leg-end of Lara Croft.

They should be ashamed to be tigers, they are slow, stupid and rather unmortified by the fact they just got roundhouse kicked to the face.

Thier dignity as tigers has been lost :P

Tombraders controls are for the labotomised... its reduced to a simple button sequencer, no skill in the jumping and those swinging bars are just irritating..

Still, best title ever.

Ha Yeah you're right... That will be the day when an 80 lbs girl can kick the shit out of a 500 lbs tiger. Seriously those tigers look at her like a baby antelope. But it is a game, and I guess it can slide because of lara croft's "Smarts." Even a wild tiger can be tamed by those puppies. :P

Yea, whatever.

Real men do this every day. I kick Baby Pandas in the face too and rip their heads off and wear it as a hat.

Vegeta (aka Ska Oreo) @ Aug 29th 2008 2:50PM

That's hardcore son.

Jakka(Naked Peach Brigade) @ Aug 29th 2008 3:10PM

Now you're just being a jackass.

What did a baby panda ever do to you? Sneeze on your trousers?

Jon Doe. @ Aug 29th 2008 6:29PM

Bah that's nothing. I rip off their faces and wear them as panda masks, and then use my awesome panda kung-fu moves to kick the ass of ever tiger I see. then cut off the tiger's head's, clean out their skull, put some fur inside it and use them as slippers.

Must say, visuals look weal pwitty, weal pwitty indeed :D

Shere Khan would be ashamed of those tigers.

Ranus Studios @ Aug 29th 2008 2:50PM

They're not bears, but that's still pretty damn funny.

Professor Lario @ Aug 29th 2008 2:51PM

Ludwig, I would have guessed your lion and tiger kicking skills to be excellent - needing to survive daily and all...

Nick the Hero of Canton @ Aug 29th 2008 2:58PM

Can I kick them in the eye?

:/

I'm pretty disappointed with the stylized graphics of the game. I don't really understand the rationale behind having realistic environments and then having overly generalized character models. For me, that shows a real lack of artistic direction.

Plus, it would have been way cooler if she could ride one of the tigers and make it fight the other one.

ZippyDSMlee @ Aug 29th 2008 3:36PM

Your are asking to much T&A has lil art lil direction to start with....*:P hides*

primetime4 @ Aug 29th 2008 3:38PM

You complain about stylized graphics yet somehow think it's cool to ride a tiger and fight another tiger? I guess as long as it "looks" realistic right?

Neal @ Aug 29th 2008 3:33PM

Are you sure this isn't PoP?

The successor to the Prince of Persia games from the last generation is being given a completely new name: Tomb Raider Underworld. The sequel to Zelda Twilight Princess is also being given a new name: Prince of Persia. Link will be given claws, and Midna will look much more feminine this time.
