CHINA

Lara begins her adventure on the Great Wall. This is the easiest level, but here too you’ll find plenty of animals looking to bite your hands off, as well as deadly traps – the well-known and much-loved Tyrannosaurus will also appear. Enemies are usually spiders, birds and tigers.

Lara will still return to this place, as she realises that there is no key to a certain door – and so she has to get it, which will not be easy.

VENICE

And there you have it, beautiful Venice, overrun by the baton- and pistol-wielding thugs of Bartoli, a boss who also wants to seize Xian’s dagger. The difficulty level is still low, although a medipack can sometimes come in handy. Enemies are many, but they are either gangsters, who can be quickly cleaned up, or dogs. We explore the canals, Bartoli’s house, the opera house and speed ahead in speedboats – lots of fun.

THE MEDITERRANEAN SEA

Lara lands on an oil rig from which she escapes by diving, getting aboard the wrecked Maria Doria. Moving from one room of the destroyed ship to another, we encounter increasingly difficult stages, the difficulty of which is heightened by the suffocating atmosphere of destruction. We have to deal with badguys with guns and also divers. Plenty of diving to take your breath away.

TIBET

Lara heads to the snowy regions of Tibet to ride a quad bike and kill some cult members. She also meets a yeti. When she gets to the monastery, she has to use the monks’ favour in removing unnecessary ballast – namely Bartoli’s men. These are really challenging levels, but very nice. The monastery in particular catches the eye. As enemies we have badguys, big cats and snow people.

CHINA

And… China again. Now Lara is on the final straight. Having acquired the key, Miss Croft explores the underworld of the Great Wall and the flying islands. The levels are extreme, very picturesque and send shivers down your spine. As enemies, we have a choice of spiders, birds, tigers, jade warriors and Bartoli himself, who has used the legend of the dagger and become a dragon.

ENGLAND

Lara fends off Bartoli’s thugs in her home. Easy level – yes to catch your breath after flying islands and yetis.
