Tomb Raider – Experience The Thrill With New Lara Croft

Modern games aren’t just a source of enjoyment; they are an entire experience. We have, recently, seen some seemingly dying series resurrected to gain the glory and fame they once had, such as the Mortal Kombat, thanks to the latest installment in the series.

The next franchise in line to get the reboot treatment is Tomb Raider. Developers plan to change the whole experience of a Tomb Raider game with next installment – or should I say, the next complete makeover of this once highly loved franchise.

It’s no secret that the Tomb Raider series had gotten stale over the years, but Crystal Dynamics is promising to revamp the whole experience with the new Tomb Raider 2011. The developers are claiming that they aren’t simply looking to reboot the franchise, they are planning to change the way people look at Lara, and how she looks at her entire world.

That doesn’t mean they’ll cut away the curves from her body that made her as appealing as she was, it means we’ll be seeing a Lara fresh out of college, so she’ll have what goes with a woman straight out of college. That also means she’ll be delicate – both physically and personality-wise – and players will gradually see her skills and personality toughen and mature as the game progresses.

Though not much is known about her new adventure, there is indication that it has to do regarding the construction of her tough personality that was otherwise the standard in the previous Tomb Raider games.

The game is set in an island off the coast of Japan, much like the one King Kong used to live in and which Lara ended up on, thanks to a storm that hit the ship she was boarded on, and that is where we get acquainted to a totally new, believable Lara Croft.

Accompanying her in this quest is Conrad Roth, the captain of the ship (ironically called The Endurance).
