This product is like new. At NexWave Games, like new means:
Additionally, all discs at NexWave Games are carefully inspected and assessed for quality. When discs arrive, we do not accept any that are so badly damaged that they are unlikely to work. We only accept discs with light scratches at most. Discs with scratches are then treated in our professional disc repair machine. By warming the disc and polishing it with soft brushes, these machines can remove a very thin layer from the disc. This removes the layer containing surface scratches and improves the disc’s readability. This ensures the disc works properly, even on consoles with ageing lasers that have difficulty reading games! Great news for the player.
Tomb Raider: Underworld for Xbox 360
Tomb Raider: Underworld follows Lara Croft on a worldwide search for traces of Avalon and the Norse underworld. You explore ruins in Thailand, Mexico and the Arctic Sea, climb walls and ledges, and use the environment to operate large mechanisms. Puzzles ask you to read routes and place objects correctly. Fights with wildlife and armed opponents interrupt the longer climbing and investigation sections.
Lara carries twin pistols, grenades, a grappling hook and a motorcycle for several larger areas. Controls let her balance on beams, swing around poles and carry objects while a puzzle remains active. PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 use the fullest console version. The later PlayStation 2 conversion follows the same story but simplifies environments, movement and parts of the level design. Downloadable Xbox chapters are not on the standard disc and are not promised.
This Xbox 360 release of Tomb Raider: Underworld was checked separately for controls, presentation and delivery. The product title determines whether a regular, budget or No Manual edition is supplied. Historical network features are not promised as available; the campaign and local content on the disc remain the core of this version.
Region and language
Our Xbox 360 games are PAL editions and come with a Dutch or English box, unless stated otherwise. By default, you receive the version for the European market. We note it in the product details if the region is different or the box is in another language. In almost all cases, the game is playable at least in English, and often in the other five common European languages too.
Manual
Tomb Raider: Underworld for Xbox 360 includes the manual unless the product title states otherwise. If the booklet is missing, the title says “No Manual”. This lets you see before ordering whether the game comes with a manual.
The manuals included with our games usually contain at least English and often around six European languages. The exact languages vary by edition, so Dutch is not always included. The booklet explains the controls and the main rules. You can use it to check how to control the game, which actions are available and how its different features work.
The history of Tomb Raider: Underworld
Crystal Dynamics developed Tomb Raider: Underworld as the conclusion to the storyline begun in Legend and continued through Anniversary. Eidos released the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 versions in Europe on 21 November 2008. The PlayStation 2 version followed in January 2009 and was adapted by another studio. The story again puts Lara against Amanda Evert and Natla, linking the search for her mother to Thor's hammer.
Underworld was designed around smoother movement and locations intended to resemble real ruins and landscapes more closely. Motion capture gave Lara more transitions between climbing, jumping and landing. The world also preserves moved objects within a level, helping puzzles feel like one connected space. Xbox 360 later received two separate expansions, Beneath the Ashes and Lara's Shadow. That history does not change an ordinary used disc; only the main campaign is described here.
