"Explore everything. Stop at Nothing. Download the Tomb Raider: Underworld demo now!"
That's the description for the 1.27GB Tomb Raider: Underworld demo that appeared on Xbox LIVE Marketplace this morning. While I'd imagine you won't have the opportunity to "explore everything" (and the whole "stop at nothing" could be an issue if you don't have an Xbox LIVE Gold account), you'll probably want to download the demo. Why? Because Lara Croft is back and as usual, she's wearing tiny cargo shorts to crawl around on rocks and shoot tigers.
Whether or not she'll get her knees and shins scraped up in that get-up is entirely in your hands. It might be pretty, but it's not going to be easy -- the first thirty seconds of the demo has Lara jumping into some gorgeous-looking water to swim with a God damned shark.
Stop at nothing, guys -- download the Tomb Raider: Underworld demo ... now!

Give me the full version now!
TOMB RAIDER IS A COOL GAME FOR COOL KIDS :D
After Dead Space.
The jungle foliage is no longer flat and everything is more alive with wildlife everywhere, like birds, bugs. The animals are bigger and better. Lara can now do a karate kick. Aiming is better. It's still Tomb Raider, but there's definitely more depth to the TR than any of the previous entries.
With the demo, I can only hope that they tighten the jumping and give the camera a bit tighter feel, and not have it so jumpy. In the last 2 TR games I've had my fair share of wonky deaths...But it seems like Underworld is just a bit off.
Here's to hoping they get it together for the release...The swimming, jumping, and camera control were low-lights of the demo...A bit unnerving, but I'll be lost in the Wastelands and Albion for a while, so hopefully if anything they deliver a patch...
