In the game tomb raider, one is supposed to control the character of a female archaeologist called as Lara Croft. She is in the search of scion artifacts for which she travels all over the world. The main feature is that the camera is either over her shoulder or always behind her back, which makes her presence always there on the screen and gives a good perception to the player. The designers of the game have left no stone unturned to give it a three dimensional effect.
There are some series of tombs through which Lara has to be guided. And in the end of every hunt, she is supposed to get the artifacts. But her way is not going to be as simple as it seems. Full of creatures and animals, which she is supposed to eliminate, her way will check her liability at every step. The player will have to solve puzzles, get clues and collect objects which would finally lead Lara to success. Many a times her opponents are going to be humans itself. However, usage of guns would be restricted against animals up to a certain level. But the basic emphasis is on solving puzzles and then reaching to the next level.
She cannot only walk, jump or run, just like any other conventional game, but she can also dive, hang over the ceilings, swim and many other things which help the game being more user friendly. She can either use weapons or stay weaponless in order to get promoted. Initially she has two guns with never ending ammunitions. And there are many more weapons that she can pick up during the hunt of the artifacts. This is how the interactions brought about with the environment are complex enough to make the player lost in an entirely exotic world. In fact there would be some points where she is snatched off with every weapon and the quest for weapons starts with a new search, making her learn more about the quest.
There are multitudinous numbers of traps in her way, every one attempting to kill her. She needs perfect timing to jump across the ledges else she would end up diving into it and fall on the ground, deceased. The game can also come to an end if Lara dies off due to drowning, burning being shot, assaulted by a human or an animal or any other reason.
