Think Lara looks good on the big screen? Wait 'till you see her on Game Boy Color.

All eyes are on Lara Croft this summer, whether on the big screen or the small screen. Carefully timed to hit store shelves while Angelina Jolie is still raiding tombs on the silver screen, Tomb Raider: Curse of the Sword is a polished adventure game published by Activision.In the opening stages, our luscious leading lady gets sliced by a cursed sword while trying to foil a museum robbery. Naturally, this leaves Lara feeling kinda unlucky. Her superstitious suspicions are confirmed when she learns that a secret cult in New Orleans is scheming to steal her soul. Thus the adventure begins, and it's up to you to travel the globe and help Lara save her soul.Like the original Tomb Raider GBC game, Curse of the Sword is a very methodical adventure game. Lara Croft features dozens of carefully crafted animations. By pressing down then diagonally down and right, for example, Lara will perform a somersault. She performs these moves in a very deliberate manner, which forces you to carefully plan each move before committing (reminiscent of the "Prince of Persia" games).The unusual -- but not unrefined -- play control system makes the game feel much more like a puzzle game than an action game. The Tomb Raider spirit is alive and well in the gameplay, as Lara must collect ancient artifacts and solve many key-based puzzles. Even exploration is a test of dexterity, since you have to carefully plan each physical move and make sure that Lara is always in the correct position.Tomb Raider: Curse of the Sword is a beautifully animated game that delivers an adventurous experience which Tomb Raider fans will appreciate. As long as you don't approach this Pak expecting a thumb-twitching reflex action game, you won't be disappointed by Lara's latest escapade.
