    For fans of the Tomb Raider series a “must have”, for other folks a title, that is able to entertain you for a small amount of time.

    The graphical downgrade has certainly been handled with less grace and the new controls are more twitchy and unpredictable than the old ones.

    Full of bugs, linear play that discourages exploration and non-existent combat, Tomb Raider Underworld feels as though it's part of the series in name and main character only.

    If you are a huge TR fan as I am, and you are too poor for a PS3 or Xbox 360, as I am, then this game will somewhat satisfy your need to play TR. It is horrifically disappointing in relation to Legend and Anniversary. However, once I let go of that particular comparison, I did enjoy playing the game. The puzzles are really easy compared to other games, but there is enough there to make it worth the money -- again I make that statement in context of being the type of fan who basically plays other games only between TRs, if you see what I mean. It is worth playing, but if you have only a PS2 and you haven't played Legend or Anniversary yet, go ahead and play those. They are far superior to Underworld on PS2.… Expand

    The main message in Tomb Raider Underworld PS2 is "buy a PS3". This game is a watered down, poorly engineered version of the PS3/XBOX360 game. The graphics are terrible compared to Lara's previous PS2 outing "Tomb Raider Anniversary" and the camera angles are awkward and glitchy. Anyone who plays this game will just find it generally awkward to play through. Very Disappointing. The only reason I have given this game a 6 is because despite all its problems it is still a Tomb Raider game.… Expand

    Maybe it's just the PS2 version that is crap, but I have played all other gamesbefore (first 4 on PC, the rest on PS2) and this was soooo disappointing! The puzzles were too easy, the enemies were way too easy to defeat, all in all, a game that I could've finished in a day if I wanted. Are they just trying to make us buy a PS3?!?!… Expand
