    A disappointment?

    Awaited impatiently by the faithful ones of the series, this sixth episode disappointed overall, even if it found some burning defenders. On the one hand, the scenario moves away notably from the " spirit Tomb Raider" by privileging a thriller on bottom of secret societies: archaeological vestiges, old civilizations and remote voyages are thus reduced to the adequate portion. In addition, and it is the big problem there, with many players stigmatize an extremely painful handiness, in particular on PC.

    At all events, Eidos obviously was very opposed by what resembled a commercial failure extremely and was not long in reacting. Indeed, less than one month after the exit of the play, the producer withdraws the frankness Tomb Raider with the English studio Core Design and charges the American studio Crystal Dynamics with developing the following episode!
