Game description: 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.

BIOS: USA v2.30, HACKS: none, As with all Tomb Raider games on PS2, you need to do a full boot, since menu language and widescreen is determined by your BIOS settings. Game runs ok in terms of frames, but does slow down quite a bit with visual effects such as fire and smoke etc. Scaling the resolution does not seem to affect this. There is a graphical glitch where textures on movable objects seem to disappear when you move them. Also, you should not rely on the autosave on this game. Use save states or manual saves from time to time to ensure you don't end up having to re-do a level if a bug occurs. | EddieHimself |

Ingame is completely corrupt in hardware mode. Looks better in software mode, but still has graphics too distorted to be playable. | |
