TOMB
RAIDER: THE LAST REVELATION
Based
entirely in Egyptian locations, Last
Revelation's plot revolves around
ancient mythology and the alignment
of the stars at the millennium. Finding
herself in a serious predicament,
Lara
Croft's objective is clear from
the outset - she must escape a terrifying
destiny and rectify a situation that
threatens to destroy humanity.
The storyline is driven seamlessly
through gameplay via advanced engine
technology. New programming routines
allow gameplay to dissolve into cut-scenes
and FMV, making the adventure more
continuous than previously experienced.
The
game engine has been re-designed to
incorporate even greater visual detail,
a new targeting system, new environment
interaction, vastly-improved AI and
an all-new inventory system.
The
traditional inventory rings are now
obsolete - the interface is totally
redesigned and now allows items to
be combined, collected and stored
- adding a new dimension to game-play.
The inventory also contains Lara's
diary, featuring an ongoing journal,
hints and tips, location maps and
further details about Lara's history.
Application
of the transformed inventory also
gives new life to puzzle elements,
a key feature of Last Revelation.
Combined with Lara's new moves and
abilities, game-play features greater
scope than ever before.
Clear
objectives and smaller locations result
in less time spent travelling between
areas. Individual environments are
more reminiscent of the original game
- tightly focused and puzzle-orientated,
but with higher levels of detail and
a greater number of 3D objects than
seen before, many of which Lara may
interact with.
An
emphasis on ancient locations and
tombs allows mystery, suspense and
characteristic atmosphere to play
key roles throughout.
The
Last Revelation is availabe on
PC, Playstation, Dreamcast
and MAC.
