[ November 12th 2002 ]
Ubi Soft
Entertainment has announced the release of Lara
Croft Tomb Raider: The Prophecy for the Nintendo
Gameboy Advance. Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Prophecy,
starring fearless adventurer Lara Croft, features
a new quasi-3D view, an impressive set of spectacular
3D animations, an improved combat system specifically
engineered for the Gameboy Advance and environments
which develop in height rather than in width.
Alain
Corre, Ubi Soft Entertainment's Vice-President
for Europe, Asia Pacific and South America said
"Lara Croft is one of the strongest and most attractive
personalities in the video game world I have full
confidence in our creation teams' ability to produce
one of the best action games available for the
Game Boy Advance." Mike McGarvey, CEO of Eidos
Interactive said "We are confident that Lara Croft
Tomb Raider: The Prophecy will maintain the high
standards people have come to expect from a Tomb
Raider game."
Features
include:
Fixed-camera
3D view: For the first time on the Gameboy Advance,
Tomb Raider will feature an advanced view which
differentiates it from the previous pocket versions
and enhances Lara's sexy attitude and smooth movements.
Spectacular
actions: Jumps, dynamic targeting, spectacular
flips and twists... everything that the player
expects.
Real-time
character shadow: Lara Croft's shadow will be
dynamically generated in real time for a great
and never-seen visual effect on the Gameboy Advance.
Quality
of animations: Lara Croft's animations and enemies
are obtained from 3D models finely reproducing
the movements' style and gameplay opportunities.
Vertigo
effect: Vertical gameplay allows characters to
reach tall places and not fall down. One of the
most successful elements of the Tomb Raider series
is introduced again on the Gameboy Advance.
The game
remains faithful to the spirit that has made previous
game versions, as well as the blockbuster movie,
a worldwide success. Since the first Tomb Raider
game was released in 1996, the series has gone
on to sell more than 28 million copies worldwide.
Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Prophecy for Nintendo
Gameboy Advance is available nationwide and via
online stores.
