Story (6/10)
The story starts off exactly where it was ended in Legend and Anniversary. Pretty linear storyline with no huge excitements or surprises but still interesting enough to keep me till the end.

Gameplay (6/10)
The gameplay is pretty similar to the previous titles with some small tweaks here and there. Lara runs and moves more smoothly and there are some cool puzzles to be solved here and there. The only thing I did not really fancy were the motorbike parts.

Controls (5/10)
Not the best aspect of the game but definitely not as bad as some users put it. If you played Legend and Anniversary before this, there won't be much difference. Only minor change is the button for aiming and shooting.

Graphics (8/10)
Pretty up-to-date graphics make the whole game enjoyable to watch and play at the same time. Environment looks more realistic and the colors are just vibrant.

Sound (7/10)
The music for each level suits the atmosphere so it gives out a really good and realistic feeling.

Wow Factor (6/10)
Lara is an eye candy, especially in her diving suit

Replay Value (2/10)
The weakest aspect in my opinion because there really isn't any replay value for Underworld unless you missed out on some treasures.

Multiplayer Experience (N/A)

Rent Or Buy This Game?
You can get the trilogy version (which includes all 3 TR) which is going for less than $20 now. So that's an average of $7 per game. Pretty good deal I reckon?

Your Personal Verdict & Your Final Score (7/10)
I personally enjoyed this game very much with no glithces or freezing problems at all. The controls and camera angles did not bother me much as well after getting accustomed to the first 2 TR games. Get it if you're a Lara fan or fond of platforming games. Do not get it if you're a hardcore RPG player or shooter person coz there isn't much action in this game.
