Very underrated. This game is packed with atmosphere and challenge. Quite probably the best Tomb Raider game out there

Very similar in style to the first Tomb Raider. Again gameplay is a mixture of exploration, platforming and this time a greater amount of combat. This time Lara is hunting for an artifact called the Dagger of Xian.Her quest to find it leads her round the world to China, Venice, a vast shipwreck and Tibet.

The game is quite challenging though the beauty of the settings will certainly keep you with it. There is a lot of human enemies in the game with can surprise you with weapons like clubs, guns and even flamethrowers. Also Yeti's can prove to be the scariest enemies.
The music is brilliant at creating tension and panic at the right moments. The environments are very beautiful and vibrant even if rather pixelated. The whole thing leads to lots of atmosphere and adventure. If there was a Tomb Raider to get it has to be this one.
