Interactive Worlds Introduces Realistic gameplay Unlike the previous games in the series, Lara's environment is now much more realistic and interactive. Footprints will be left in mud, for example, but only until it rains and then they will wash away. Lara's shirt will also get wet, and she's more likely to lose her grip if she is standing on a slippery, rain-soaked ledge. When the sun comes out, her shirt will dry and the slippery surfaces regain their friction. In Underworld, Lara also has a lot more flexibility in how she makes her way through a level, as there is often more than one way to get from here to there. She can now climb walls with texture and rocky outcroppings to reach areas she previously wouldn't have been able to access. All of these additions have been made to give the game a non-linear, open feel. Players can interactive with the environment by doing things they find to be intuitive, and the game will respond in an appropriate way. When Lara interacts with trees, for example, she will push aside leaves using either one or two hands depending on whether or not she's holding something. These details give a lifelike, immersive sensation to the game. New Melee Combat System Underworld introduces a new melee combat system that requires players to strategically strike with offensive, defensive, and evasive maneuvers. Lara can now attack enemies with different punches, kicks, knees, and other acrobatic onslaughts. Items lying on the ground, such as poles that were previously walked on, can be picked up and swung at enemies. Players can also perform a greater variety of actions with weapons; for example, Lara can now hold onto a ledge with one hand and fire a gun with the other.

Puzzle-filled levels can be solved through insight and exploration. This version utilizes the Nintendo DS's touchscreen and microphone. On The Go Fun Eidos has taken the storyline from the console versions of the game and made it into a fun experience you can take anywhere on the Nintendo DS. The game features a 3D game engine, so everything looks great, but inserts the action into a 2D side-scrolling perspective to accommodate the DS's 2D controls. Explore Epic Worlds At the core of the game are puzzle-filled levels that can be solved through insight and exploration that rewards players who interact with the environments as much as possible. Underworld gives players more flexibility to navigate locations and scenes, so you'll have more fun exploring exotic and disparate locales, such as Thailand, the Arctic Sea, and the Jungles of Mexico, as you strive to complete your challenges. Players play as the famed heroine Lara Croft and utilize her acrobatic abilities, as well as her grapple and many weapons to make it through puzzles, clobber enemies, and more. Unique Design Takes Advantage of Touchscreen and Microphone The DS version of Tomb Raider: Underworld takes advantage of the DS's unique touchscreen and microphone to solve environmental puzzles, unlock chests, access inventory, and change weapons. There are over 50 unique challenges and puzzles that use the touchscreen in the game. And for increased complexity and improved gameplay, the puzzles are context-sensitive and the challenges are action-based. Eidos has broken levels down into small sections in order to facilitate shorter game sessions that better accommodate portable playing on the train, plane, and wherever else you might be. Each section has its own Treasure Chest puzzle, which can either be solved right away or saved for later. Beautiful, Fluid Graphics With Underworld, Eidos pushes the graphic capabilities of the DS by delivering a three-dimensional art style that is as good as anything seen on the DS. Animators spent a lot of time creating the animation sequences by hand to achieve the desired level of detail. The graphics are styled after the Xbox 360 version, but simplified so as to achieve realism and fluidity on the DS platform. Lighting effects are used liberally to give the game a realistic look. When looking up close, you can see the fine details in textures such as stonework. With updated graphics and fun, side-scrolling gameplay, Tomb Raider: Underworld lets both veterans and newcomers take Lara Croft on the road with them for some quick fun.
