Lara Croft Tomb Raider Anniversary PS2

Aprašymas (anglsk.)

In 1945 in New Mexico, a nuclear bomb test during the Manhattan Project reveals a strange crystalline structure, from which a winged creature breaks free and flies away.

In 1996 Calcutta, India, archaeologist and adventurer Lara Croft is approached by Larson Conway, who works for wealthy businesswoman Jacqueline Natla. Natla hires Lara to find a piece of an artifact called the Scion, located in the Peruvian mountains. Lara finds a tomb belonging to the Atlantean king Qualopec. She discovers that he was one of three Kings (the Triumvirate) who ruled Atlantis before it sank. After solving many puzzles, deadly traps, and attacks by animals and supernatural creatures, Lara leaves with a piece of the three-part Scion, but notices movement from what had appeared to be a statue of Qualopec before the tomb collapses. Larson attempts to confiscate the Scion piece; after defeating him, Lara discovers that Natla has sent rival archaeologist Pierre Dupont to find the next piece in Greece.

In St. Francis Folly, Greece, Lara finds the second piece of the Scion in another dangerous tomb. While Lara studies the empty coffin of Tihocan, the second member of the Triumvirate, Pierre steals the Scion piece but guardian centaurs outside of the tomb kill him. After defeating the centaurs, and joining both pieces of the Scion, Lara sees a vision which reveals that the third and final piece of the Scion is in Egypt.

Lara survives another tomb and retrieves the third piece of the Scion. After assembling all three pieces, Lara's earlier vision becomes much clearer. In Lara's visions two of the three Kings, Tihocan and Qualopec, are sentencing the third one, which she realizes is Natla, to imprisonment. Natla, after trying to use Atlantis's army to bring about what she refers to as the Seventh Age, is imprisoned in the crystalline structure.

Natla takes the Scion and orders her men to kill Lara. Lara escapes and hides abord Natla's boat, which arrives at an unknown volcanic island. After traveling through its dangers, Lara confronts Natla at the top of an Atlantean pyramid. Natla's plan is to resurrect the army of Atlantis; she attempts to convince Lara to stop opposing her, tempting her with immortality. Lara destroys the Scion instead, and Natla falls into the lava. As Lara escapes, a severely injured but still powerful Natla returns. As they battle, Lara collapses a pillar supporting the pyramid onto Natla, trapping her under the debris. Lara escapes and sails away in Natla's boat.
