Lara shows off in new Tomb Raider shots

New images emerge for Tomb Raider Legends
[08/12/2005 16:53]

Lara Croft is looking more dynamic, exciting and gripping than she has since 1996, if these new images are anything to go by.

This is in part due to the Tomb Raider games having barely changed - except to become sprawling and unfocused - between that first game in the '90s and 2003's disastrous Angel of Darkness.

For Tomb Raider Legends, however, American developer Crystal Dynamics has taken over from series originators Core Design. Also, Toby Gard - a key figure in Lara's creation who left after the first game - is working on the game once more.

The result should be a refreshed, updated, stripped-down Tomb Raiding experience - should the hype prove to be true.

Certainly the earlier video and now these shots suggest Ms Croft is more lithely capable - and her surroundings more fiendishly tricky - than ever before.

Tomb Raider Legends is due out on Xbox, Xbox 360, PS2 and PC in the spring
