Tomb Raider Chronicles

Tomb Raider Chronicles presents four untold adventures from Lara Crofts past, linked by the mystery surrounding her presumed fate. The PlayStation 3 record frames each story as a distinct three-dimensional expedition through ruins, cities and dangerous sites.

Gameplay and features: Explore self-contained locations, solve environmental puzzles, cross platforms, search for clues and use weapons against guards and creatures. The changing stories offer different routes and challenges while retaining the series emphasis on observation and traversal. Treating every episode as its own small expedition keeps the adventure varied.

Presentation and identity: The episodic structure, archaeological settings and reflective narrative give the game a retrospective character. Developed by Core Design Ltd. and published by Eidos Interactive, it revisits Lara Croft's history through a collection of compact adventures.
