Lara Croft returns in another action-packed adventure. We pick up her trail in India, where she's hunting for an artifact, the legendary Infada Stone. While following the Ganges downriver, she runs into a Scottish scientist, one Dr.

Willard, who is also looking for the stone. He informs her that it is actually one of four pieces carved from an ancient meteorite. The search for the remaining artifacts takes her into Nevada's infamous Area 51, to a tropical island in the South Pacific and home to England. After finding all the artifacts, Lara heads for Antarctica, where the plot thickens. Initial Release: November 1998Metacritic Score: 76 ESRB/PEGI Rating: Teen/12Platforms: Windows, PlayStation. Later: Macintosh, PlayStation 3 and PSP (via PlayStation Network).Spoiler-free Synopsis: Millions of years ago, a meteor crashed to Earth, landing in Antarctica, then a tropical paradise. Today, the same area is being excavated by the research company RX Tech, who are picking up unusual readings from the meteorite's impact zone.

It is here that they uncover the body of a sailor who served on Charles Darwin's expedition on the H.M.S. A few of the sailors had apparently explored the crater's interior.Following clues from the sailor's journal, the researchers have expanded their search beyond the impact crater to other parts of the globe, where the Beagle's crew subsequently traveled.and died.One of these places is India, where Lara is currently searching for the Infada Stone. Unaware of its true history, she only knows that in local beliefs it was supposed to hold great powers. Soon she will discover much more.What's New Since TR2: More detailed environments and enhanced graphics, including dynamic lighting, rain, snow, smoke, mist, and other 3D effects.

New vehicles include a quad bike (ATV), underwater propulsion unit, kayak, inflatable motor boat and mine car. Lara gets some fresh moves as well. She can now traverse hand over hand (monkey-bar style), crouch, crawl and sprint. Also, instead of being completely linear, the middle locations—London, the South Pacific and Nevada—can be played in any order. Saving Your Game: As in TR1, the PlayStation game requires you to pick up a save crystal each time you want to save your game. PC and Macintosh players still have unlimited saves. The crystals do appear in the PC and Mac games but function as small health power-ups.

Perhaps the designers intended to have save crystals in the PC game, then scrapped the idea but for some reason didn't remove the crystals. (Windows and Macintosh are available in case you make a bad save, want to skip a level, etc.)Secrets: As in the original Tomb Raider, the number of secrets in each level varies (from 0 to 6). Secrets consist of ammunition, medi packs, save/power-up crystals and the occasional weapon. A chime sounds when you locate a secret, and the stopwatch in the main inventory ring indicates the number of secrets in the current level and how many you've found so far. This also appears on the statistics screen at the end of each level. There is no reward for finding all secrets in a level, but finding all secrets in the game allows you to access the bonus level,.

As always, my walkthrough includes the location of all secrets.If you haven't found all the secrets and want to play the bonus level, you can use the or download a save file for.Bonus Levels: Aside from the extra level unlocked by finding all secrets (above), there is also a mini-sequel,.
