December 18, 2003,
Austin, TX- Aspyr Media, Inc. announced that Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Angel of Darkness for Macintosh® began shipping today. This time around Lara is darker, harder and more intense than ever. Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Angel of Darkness is the latest game from the most popular computer and console video game series of all time.
In The Angel of Darkness, a series of grisly murders brings Lara into conflict with a secret alliance of powerful individuals shrouded in mystery. At the center of these mysteries are the Obscura Paintings; 14th century pieces of art that the alliance is desperate to repossess. Accused of the murder of her one time mentor, Werner Von Croy, Lara becomes a fugitive on the run. Pursued by the police, she follows the villains into a dark world of blood, betrayal and vengeance where it is up to her to defeat this unholy alliance, and prevent them from releasing their incredible powers on the world.
Lara's abilities are much improved from previous Tomb Raider games and she can adapt to how different players play the game. Rewards are given for puzzle solving and exploration in the form of improvements to Lara's jumping ability, brainpower, upper body strength and much more.
For the very first time in a Tomb Raider game, Lara has the ability to talk to characters. Conversational choices made by players affect Lara's route through the game. The game also introduces a never before seen playable character, Kurtis Trent, who works with Lara to help clear her name from a murder suspicion.
The game is rated ³T² for Teen and is available where entertainment products are sold for a suggested retail price of $39.99. Aspyr licensed the game from Eidos, and Macintosh conversion was done by Beenox.
