Lara Croft

Main article: Lara Croft

The central character in Tomb Raider is the hard edged, British archaeologist Lara Croft, a female character similar to Indiana Jones in search of ancient treasures. According to the official backstory, Lara's interest in archeology was sparked at an early age, but her confinement to the upper society to which her parents belonged prevented her from actively taking up the profession. All this changed when, after a skiing trip in the Himalayas, her plane crashed and Lara was left to fend for herself as the sole survivor. The experience altered her life completely and she began to travel the world, learning about the ancient civilizations of the past. As a result, she was disowned by her father, Lord Richard (Henshingly) Croft, and she began to work as an archaeologist for hire, acquiring artifacts and rare treasure for some of the most wealthy collectors in the world.

Lara was created by one-time Core designer Toby Gard, and grew out of a number of ideas discarded in early concepts. She appears almost invariably with short brown pants, a blue top, holsters on both sides of her hip for dual wielded pistols and a small brown backpack. Over the course of the series, she has undergone minor adjustments, such as smoother facial features, enlarged breast size and free moving hair.

Game features

The original game, titled Tomb Raider: Featuring Lara Croft, debuted on the Sega Saturn, PlayStation and PC. Despite being released first on the Saturn, it was one of the titles responsible for PlayStation success in the mid 90s. The games present a world in 3D: a series of tombs, and other locations, through which the player must guide Lara. On the way, she must kill dangerous animals and other creatures, while collecting objects and solving puzzles to gain access to an ultimate prize, usually a powerful artifact. In later games, Lara's targets become predominantly human, which has sparked some criticism from gamers who feel the games became too violent.

A tomb is a small building (or vault) for the remains of the dead, with walls, a roof, and (if it is to be used for more than one corpse) a door. ...

Tomb Raider is an earlier example of the 3D genre. The game is a third-person shooter since Lara is always visible. The player's camera follows her, usually over her shoulder or from behind. Up until Tomb Raider: The Angel of Darkness the game was characterized by the cubic nature of the world in which Lara inhabits. Ledges, walls and ceilings sit at 90 degrees to each other, although the game designers use some clever tricks to make this less obvious. This does not cite its references or sources. ...

A reason for this orthogonality can be explained by the fact the creators took the 2D platform game genre and extended it to a 3D world. This is shown through Tomb Raider's gameplay, which is very reminiscent of older platform games like Prince of Persia and Flashback that had a heavy focus on timed jumping interspersed with combat. Each game has introduced new weapons and moves; by the fourth game, Lara could backflip off ropes and turn around in mid-air to grab a ledge behind her. Tomb Raider: Legend, introduced an electromagnetic grapple that Lara can attach to metal objects and can, amongst other things, be used make rope swings and pull metal objects (and enemies) toward her. screenshot PSX Tomb Raider 2, made by me This is a screenshot of a copyrighted website, video game graphic, computer program graphic, television broadcast, or film. ... screenshot PSX Tomb Raider 2, made by me This is a screenshot of a copyrighted website, video game graphic, computer program graphic, television broadcast, or film. ...

Standard moves in Lara's range of abilities include the somersault, a roll, climbing techniques, the ability to swim, a dive maneuver and a handstand. The last two abilities are purely aesthetic and serve no other function in the game. In Tomb Raider III, a sprinting move was introduced that allowed Lara to quickly speed up while a bar in the lower corner of the screen drained her stamina. In Tomb Raider: Chronicles, Lara was able to somersault/roll out of crawl spaces higher than ground level.

The storyline is usually driven by the quest for a powerful artifact, with Lara in a race against a sinister shadow league who want to obtain the relic for their own purposes. These artifacts usually possess mystical powers and may be of supernatural, or even alien, origin. Often in the series, the antagonist, typically uses the artifact or bits of it to create terrifying mystical monsters, creatures, and mutants in which Lara must defeat throughout the journey.

A member of a rich British aristocratic family, Lara Croft is a "tomb raider" who enjoys collecting ancient artifacts from ruins of temples, cities, etc. worldwide, and doesn't mind going through death-defying dangers to get them. She is skilled in hand-to-hand combat, weapons training, and foreign languages - and does them all in tight outfits.

The planets of the solar system are going into astronomical conjunction (which occurs every 5,000 years), and a secret society called the Illuminati is seeking an ancient talisman called The Triangle of Light that gives its possessor the ability to control time. The Illuminati need a certain clock/key called the All-seeing Eye to help them in their search, and they have to find it in one week or wait for the next planetary alignment to find it again which will be in another 5,000 years. Lara happens to find the All-seeing Eye hidden in a wall of her mansion. The Illuminati steal it, and Lara gets an old letter from Lord Richard Croft, her deceased father, telling her about the society's agenda (Her father was a defected member, who hid the key). Now, she must retrieve the key and find and destroy the talisman before the Illuminati can get their hands on it.

Ballantine Books, in conjunction with Eidos, began publishing a series of original novels based upon the video game in the spring of 2004, beginning with The Amulet of Power by Mike Resnick, which was followed by The Lost Cult by E.
