In Tomb Raider Legend, Lara Croft is back as the female Indiana Jones. The game's design also bears much resemblance to the first game in the Tomb Raider series. Dark temples and sunken ruins pull you straight into the plot. Climbing, jumping, swinging and diving all reawaken that old Tomb Raider feeling.
For newer 3D cards, there is a power mode called Next Generation Content. By activating it, the video card's pixel shader capabilities are pushed to the limit. The power mode may slow down the game's performance, but the screenshots below show just how beautiful this title can be.
