Top Secret Magazine Tomb Raider 2

The unstoppable Lara Croft is back in Tomb Raider II, combining the classic gameplay of Tomb Raider with new moves, weapons, puzzles and more! In Tomb Raider 2, Lara searches for The Dagger of Xian: an artifact hidden in an ancient Emperor's palace within the Great Wall of China. Legend has it that whoever drives the Dagger of Xian into their heart, acquires the power of the Dragon. Unfortunately, three different parties are trying to get it. Lara is trying to get it just for the adventure, but she will encounter the other two parties during her journey...

The graphics in Tomb Raider 2 far surpass Tomb Raider 1's blocky images. Tomb Raider 2's graphics are smooth and intricately textured. These enhanced graphics make the game a lot cooler and more fun to play. The game's weapons & accessories are better than Tomb Raider 1's. In Tomb Raider 2, you get dual pistols, a shotgun, flares, med kits, and much, much more! You can choose when to use these items,

because different parts of the game make better use of different weapons/accessories.Tomb Raider fans are probably going crazy over this title. It is definitely a lot cooler than Tomb Raider 1. However, it is still just a sequel. It's main character is Lara Croft and you're basically still doing the same thing you did in Tomb Raider 1....with extremely enhanced graphics, tons of new levels, new weapons, and new enemies. Lara's house has been totally redone. You can choose to walk around Lara's house when you start up Tomb Raider 2. It is EXTREMELY large, and you can go into the kitchen, attic, outside in the bushes, the different bedrooms, etc. Wherever you go, Lara's butler follows you.

Overall, Tomb Raider 2 is a great game. If you are a fan of the original Tomb Raider, or are a fan of Tomb Raider type games, I suggest you download Tomb Raider 2. If you've never played Tomb Raider, you may want to download Tomb Raider 2 and give it a try.
