Here's
some of the outfits you can expect to see in Tomb
Raider Chronicles...
BACKSTREETS
OF ROME The first mission you help her through
in Chronicles involves a mad chase through Rome
when a valuable artefact is stolen from her. Fortunately,
she has time to change out of her Opera Dress
and into her normal attire: Top: Green, full length,
sleeveless vest with a scoop neck, made of cotton
and lycra to keep her cool in tense situations.
Shorts: Brown canvas, always rolled to the top
of her thighs so as not to restrict movement when
she needs to move fast. Belt & Holsters: Both
made of black leather, the belt is clasped with
a large brass buckle. The holsters are secured
with the garters to stop them flapping about when
performing dextrous feats of agility. Boots and
Socks: Hard-wearing leather boots with rubber
soles for good grip, with warm cotton socks rolled
at the top.
THE SUBMARINE:
The second mission will take you to the cold wastes
of Russia, to recover a powerful artefact thought
long lost. Using stealth and cunning, Lara must
infiltrate a submarine base... Hat: Black, thick
woolen hat to aid our heroine's disappearing act
into the shadows. Top and Trousers: Made of tough-wearing
cotton (canvas), camouflaged in such a way to
blend into the dull, miserable environment of
the Russian coast, enabling her to move swiftly
but to be able to stop and blend in at a moments
notice. Belt: (Not Shown) White leather, to match
the suit, with a small buckle which will reflect
little light, which could give away her position.
Boots: Black leather, with grey laces. Rubber
soles again to help keep her footfalls quiet.
SPOOKY
ISLAND: The third recollection will be of an early
adventure for the intrepid explorer, when a young
Lara just cannot resist visiting a Haunted Island.
Top: Sleeveless, cropped vest of cotton below
a canvas bodywarmer, to keep her just a little
bit warmer when she goes wandering off. Shorts:
Hard-wearing canvas, again rolled to the thigh,
a fashion statement which moved with her into
adulthood. Boots: Sturdy leather with rubber soles,
another necessity she learnt young and never forgot.
TOWERBLOCK:
The final mission takes Lara to the hi-tech offices
of an old adversary, full of deadly guards and
survaillance equipment. Suit: All in one bodysuit
of tight-fitting leather, reflecting the tiniest
amount of light so she can slip into the shadows
with ease. Zips up the back with a flap sealed
with velcro, to stop the zip glinting. Boots:
Black, hard rubber, the quietist boots money can
buy, which is lucky, coz those guards have exceptionally
good hearing!
