| The
Story Unfolds... Love her or loathe her, you simply cannot ignore her (not with breasts that size). Lara Croft returns for a fourth instalment that takes the trail of her her three previous expeditions almost full circle.  Based
entirely in Egyptian locations, Last Revelation's plot revolves around
ancient mythology and the alignment of the stars at the millennium.The legend of Ancient Egypt tells how the evil God Set was outwitted and imprisoned in a secret tomb, warning that one day he will return.... While exploring in Egypt, ace adventurer Lara Croft discovers a lost tomb and unwittingly unleashes the ancient evil, fulfilling the prophecy that threatens to plunge mankind into eternal darkness! In a race against time, Lara must use all her wit and skill to re-imprison Set and save the world from Armageddon!  Ammo...

Had it been demolished in a cost cutting exercise? Maybe its disappearance was part of the new plot? Perhaps it has been sold off and exported to some rich American tycoon to be reset in a boulevard alongside Old London Bridge?  All
of the above is total and utter nonsense. Tomb
Raider has been fully redesigned. No longer can the obstacle course be
skipped past because you thought you 'knew it all'. The training mode
has now been incorporated into the first two levels. So it's back
to school for everybody... including a tender young child who you may
already be familiar with.It all begins when the daughter of Lord Henshingly Croft, Lara was brought up in the secure world of aristocracy - wanting for nothing she was surrounded by servants, social events and high society.... MORE.... |
