"Sometimes a Killer Body Just Isn't Enough" was how we were first introduced by Core Design to their latest offering.

Lara Croft sets off to discover the fate of Atlantis and uncover an ancient, important mystery in Tomb Raider from Core Design and Eidos Interactive. As the story begins, Lara has just returned from a hunting trip in the Himalayas, and she's craving for a new challenge.

Conniving business woman Jacqueline Natla convinces Lara to recover a mysterious artifact from a tomb in Peru, the fabled Scion, an incredible treasure reputed to give its possessor vast power. But suprise suprise - Natla double-crosses her!

Lara sets out to discover why, while exploring Incan ruins, Ancient Rome, Egyptian Pyramids, ... and uncovers a mystery that reaches back in time to the treachery that destroyed the Lost City of Atlantis.
