It's a joke. Three months of delay for THIS??

User Rating: 2 | Tomb Raider: Underworld PS2
By Rheinmetal | Review Date:
To be absolutely honest, I didn't finish the game, but no way I'm going to waste my precious time to continue playing such a poor game. Wasting my money was bad enough. This Tomb Raider episode is rather the "tomb stone" of the PS2 system. Sadly PS2 is over, and it's time we all realised that.

The graphics are really mediocre to begin with. Of course I didn't expect the PS2 version to be not even close to the X360/PS3 versions, but this game of 2009 looks actually much worse than past years releases. I can recall a dozen of 2001-02 PS2 games that look better than Tomb Raider Underworld. Needless to say it's inferior to Legend, and Anniversary. Blur colours, dull environments, indifferent scenery, you need more?

Also the controls are so bad that in some levels, you can't even play properly the game. Perhaps you might have already guessed it, yes, Underworld is full of glitches too. This game is the perfect definition of the "bad port" term!

Don't even think to buy it, or even rent it. Save your money for the X360/PS3 version. You will be very disappointed from this port. Especially the Tomb Raider fans, avoid it, and keep intact your good memories from Lara's memorable presence into the PS2 world.

EDIT: I played the PS3 version and unfortunately it is full of bugs too.
