Tomb Raider: Underworld - is a single player, action-adventure
video
game. The game is presented in third person perspective, where the
player takes control of Lara Croft. Lara's environment reproduces a more
"interactive world that reacts and remembers", such that
footprints
left in the mud or mud transferred to Lara's knee from kneeling on the
ground is washed away by rain, the bodies of the foes she encounters
remain where she killed them, and any destruction to the environment she
causes are permanent. According to creative director Eric Lindstrom,
this is "to not only reward the player for the effect they're having on
the world, but to give them navigational aids." The game uses an
animation blending system that allows Lara to interact dynamically with
her environment, such as pushing foliage aside with one or two hands,
depending on if she is carrying a weapon. It also features a "hybrid
lighting model that combines dynamic lights with carefully created light
maps" and a weather system that changes the environment, for example,
"If Lara’s negotiating a wet ledge she’s more apt to slip or lose grip,"
which makes "the environment her adversary" for a large part of the
game.
