Game-breaking glitch found in Wii version of Tomb Raider Underworld photo

Back before that whole Internet thing caught on, serious glitches were a developer's nightmare and little could be done to remedy the situation outside of replacing faulty game cartridges or discs.

While we still see a game-breaking glitch pop up every now and again, it's never quite as troublesome as the days back when Sega did what Nintendon't.

Take, for instance, Tomb Raider Underworld for the Wii. According to forum posts Nintendo Everything found on the Eidos boards, the game apparently has a major issue in the Coastal Thailand level that brings story progression to a halt.

Destructoid has obtained an artist's rendering of the troublesome bug, as seen above. Forget the fact that it's taken from the Xbox 360 version of Underworld -- Lara and her lovely tiger assistant are fugly in the Wii port, so we're doing you a favor.

I have so little interest in the Tomb Raider games. It is amazing how this series continues to attract attention. Is it just inertia?

I smell a class action lawsuit. Involving the words "irreperable damage", "negligence", and "butthurt".

Wait.

So you can have bestiality and still get away with a T rating?

See somebody should have told that to Midway when they were making Mk vs DC

There's a funny Tiger freeze glitch in the 360 version. It can happen when you first encounter the tigers in Thailand. Don't kill any tigers. Run to the stone ledge and get on top. You'll notice everytime that one of the Tigers goes to the pond and just freezes there.

Now jump off the ledge and run towards that tiger. He'll run off to the right side by the big tree and get stuck there. Now kill the two other tigers. Now go to the tree with the frozen tiger and hit Y to smack him. He'll come to life again, run and dive and freeze in mid-air. Hit Y again to hit him and he keeps doing it. While he's frozen. Rotate the camera all around him. You can get some funny screenshots if positioned right with Lara.
