Over the years plenty of us have admired the physique of Tomb Raider's main character Lara Croft. Hours spent doing the hand stand grab, turning the camera to that perfect breast shot and on her knees in the crawling position. In the upcoming Tomb Raider we get to rewind back to when Lara is fresh outta college. Oh yeah.
The 9th installment of the Tomb Raider series features a younger Lara Croft as she prepares for her first journey to seek out lost relics and ancient artifacts. She sets course towards an island off the coast of Japan. Nearing the island an unexpected storm hits critically damaging the vessel shes aboard.
She washes ashore on the island and it appears she has been separated from any other survivors. She's left stranded without any weapons, flares, rations or tools. In order to survive, the player must search for the provisions needed. This won't be easy, You will need to use survival skills to complete puzzles in order to gain access to other areas and or to obtain items. In addition the player will need to achieve different physical abilities to reach their goal.
The player will be able to upgrade Lara's skills and abilities throughout the world. The game also allows players to combine and mix items for ammo, tools and health at certain huts found around the island. From these huts you will also be able to warp travel to other huts in different locations.
Tomb Raider is scheduled to be released about the summer of 2012. It is being developed by Crystal Dynamics and published by Square Enix. Tomb Raider will be released for the Xbox 360, Playstation 3 and the PC.
Sure Lara ends up getting a little ruffed up and cut up, but it's kinda sexy like a chick shooting an AK-47. So get ready for Tomb Raider, and don't forget to crouch.
