Hey guys… Its been a while since we had a good old fashioned review here at PlayStation Heads (not to mention a long time since we’ve had an update – but anyway… that’s a different story).

SO with my Christmas/Birthday money I decided to splash out on some games like a TRUE PlayStation Head. I bought The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, which seemed like a good investment since it was only £20 and people have been raving about it to me for the oast… 2 years :S. I also got Tomb Raider Underworld – which sort of quenched my thirst for a really good exploration game (no offence to Naughty Dog and the Uncharted team, but… what the hell!)

I’ve always been a fan of Tomb Raider – not because of the somewhat attractive female protaginist, I’ll have you know. And this game in my opinion is one of the best in the series (topped only by TR 1 and 3). This installment is an immediate continuation of TR: Legend and also fills in some blanks from the first TR, or Anniversary. Now lets get to the good stuff.

Graphics: Obviously, since this is a 7th gen game, the graphics are… pretty damn brilliant. disrergarding the PS3’s slight lack of shading ability, the graphics are – I would argue – a little better than Uncharted.

Graphics: 9/10

Gameplay: The game is largely played using conventional control configurations, rather than the more classic X to shoot setup.This setup is better overall. There are also a lot more additions to the game, such as grapple, and there are also a good few more weapons. The game is easy to learn if you’re new to it.

Gameplay: 9/10

Story: Well, I’ve only played the first two stages, excluding the tutorial, but so far the story is compelling and engaging. It helps if you’ve played Tomb Raider Legend, as Underworld is a continuation of it – so pick it up now on PS2 or PC if you can. I won’t give away too much, but so far there’s been quite a lot of swimming. Also the voice acting is classic Lara – a lot of sarcastic remarks about her male compadres which I was not too happy about .

Story (so far): 9/10

Overall: 9/10 – EXCELLENT GAME!
