Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Angel Of Darkness

Game came earlier then expected and was in great condition. Looked brand new and plays great. Would buy from this seller again.

I loved this game when I was a kid but couldn’t remember why I returned it, now I do because it was used and it said Fatal Error: RMX Version Mismatch. This game is so awesome! I tested it when I got it in the mail and it works perfectly now.

…,,thank you

there's a love and hate relationship that i have with this game the first thing that i feel like a problem is its stamina meter thats never been in any tomb raider game before and never been in it ever again. it becomes a pain when u climb from one side to another there isnt any button to speed up movements on ledges and stamina meter goes out to fast but there is a mechanic when u pull or push something it increases stamina meter timer but i think that feature is a bad idea to add also stealth becomes useless after they introduce that feature in the beginning of the game i think its well thought ideas thats added into to the game like candy bars that can full your health bar but the targeting is so bad that in pc version fans made a mod to not only fixed that issue but also awful glitches and bugs that others had experience while playing this game. the story and character interact is the only things that feels well done with a unique theme but again gameplay just ruined it which led a potential trilogy scrapped and development of the franchise was transferred to Crystal Dynamics for the next entry in the series, Tomb Raider: Legend.also the debut to a new character name kurtis is bad only bcuz the new weapon that u see only in cutscenes he cant use during gameplay and there's certain levels where enemies was supposed to attack but never does ,sprint button is pretty much useless, limited inventory, way too many variety of health items but not enough of everything elsewarning #Spoiler: Angel of Darkness follows on from events in Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation and Tomb Raider Chronicles, where Lara Croft was presumed dead. An unspecified time later, Lara arrives in Paris at the request of her former mentor, Werner Von Croy, who mentions that he has been tasked by a man named Eckardt to track medieval icons known as the Obscura Paintings. The city, and Von Croy, are gripped with fear over a serial killer the press have dubbed the "Monstrum". The Monstrum steals body parts and leaves distinctive signs made with the victim’s blood in its wake. During a confrontation with Von Croy at his apartment, a flurry of activity occurs and Lara is knocked unconscious. When she wakes, she discovers Von Croy dead, apparently having been murdered by the Monstrum, and Lara becomes the prime suspect. Fleeing his demise & running away from the cops, Lara tracks down Von Croy's friend Margot Carvier in her apartment building who agrees to give Lara Von Croy's old notebook, which he had left with her for safekeeping. Carvier reveals to Lara how Von Croy had been contracted by Eckhardt to track the Obscura Paintings while adding details on how he had been fearful doing the job. The next day, a local Parisian prostitute reveals to Lara that Carvier has also been murdered by the Monstrum.Shortly before his death, Von Croy had been in contact with a well-known French businessman and secret underworld figure Louis Bouchard. Lara must track down Bouchard through the almost-deserted backstreets of Paris, discovering from locals that Bouchard went into hiding after the death of several of his associates by the Monstrum. When she does locate him, Bouchard reveals Von Croy had contacted him for assistance in breaking into an archaeological dig beneath the Musée du Louvre. Lara gains access to the Louvre through its storm drains, and is able to uncover more information connecting the archaeological dig to the Obscura Paintings.The paintings, which originally depicted demonic imagery, concern the Nephilim, a hybrid creature descended from angels and humans, which once lived in Anatolia. A single dormant Nephilim now remains, the Cubiculum Nephili or "Sleeper". The five Obscura Paintings, when connected, form a talisman called the Sanglyph that can be used to revive the Sleeper. To prevent this, an ancient society of warrior Christian monks called the Lux Veritatis was formed and they successfully stopped Eckhardt and his order known as the Cabal by trapping him using three daggers known as Periapt Shards, which can destroy any immortal being. The Lux Veritatis leader known as Brother Obscura seized the paintings, and painted religious imagery over the evil ones and hid them, one of which is in a guarded vault beneath the Louvre. The society also created copies of the paintings known as Obscura Engravings, all of which has an encoded map that leads to the locations of the original paintings.Lara must descend into the Lux Veritatis stronghold beneath the Louvre to retrieve it. While attempting to escape from the Louvre with the painting, Lara is disarmed by Kurtis Trent, the last living member of the Lux Veritatis, who wields a magical Chirugai blade. Kurtis steals the painting, but both he and Lara are knocked unconscious before they can flee. Upon regaining consciousness, Lara is met by Bouchard, who informs her of a Monstrum killing in Prague, the victim being Mathias Vasiley, an art dealer and historian whom Von Croy exchanged information of the Obscura Engravings. Bouchard then betrays Lara, attempting to have her killed, but Lara survives and makes her way to the Czech Republic.In an upper-class town square in Prague, Lara meets a Czech journalist named Thomas Luddick, who fills her in on Eckhardt, revealed to be an immortal black alchemist who leads a mysterious local organization called the Cabal, and whom Luddick believes is the Monstrum. Lara also encounters a captive Bouchard near the crime scene, who reveals Eckhardt's full plan for reviving the Nephilim. Soon after, Lara rediscovers Bouchard dead. With Luddick's assistance, Lara infiltrates the Cabal's headquarters, the Strahov, and in the process accidentally frees the Proto-Nephilim, the Cabal's unsuccessful attempt to breed a new Nephilim species. Meanwhile, Lara witnesses Eckhardt murder Luddick. She again encounters Kurtis, who locks her in a compartment while he kills the Proto-Nephilim using two Periapt Shards. After an exchange of information, Lara and Kurtis team up to stop Eckhardt assembling the Sanglyph, with Lara retrieving the final Obscura Painting buried deep beneath the Strahov. However, Lara must surrender this painting to save Kurtis, after he is captured by Eckhardt. Kurtis gives Lara his Periapt shards, but she will need a third lost shard to defeat Eckhardt, which Eckhardt has hidden in his laboratory. While Lara flees to track this shard down, Kurtis attempts to hold off an attack from Boaz, the horribly mutated remains of a fallen Cabal member. Kurtis succeeds in killing her, but is severely wounded in the process.After retrieving the final Periapt shard, Lara discovers Eckardt in the midst of attempting to revive the Sleeper, using the Sanglyph and body parts stolen from the Monstrum's victims. She is able to stab him with two shards, but before she can deliver the final blow, she is interrupted by Eckhardt's right-hand man, Karel. Karel kills Eckhardt with the final shard, revealing that he is a Nephilim himself, and had used Eckhardt to ensure the survival of his species. He had also manipulated Lara, in the guise of Bouchard, Luddick and Kurtis, to retrieve the Obscura Paintings. He offers Lara immortality if she will help him complete the task, but Lara experiences a flashback to Von Croy’s murder, and sees that Karel, in Eckhardt's form, was the Monstrum. She refuses, retrieves the Sanglyph from Eckhardt's body, and plants it on the Sleeper, overloading it with energy and causing it to explodeOverAllNegatives :climbing meter goes out to fast stopping player to progress, killing off a debut character, sloppy gameplay and controls, bad additional features, awful targeting system, terrible A.I.'s , good ideas thats poorly executedPositives : interacting with all characters with a telltale open world feel, changing story based of your decisions, presentation- unique sounds and excellent storyline plot, polished textures of environments and characters

I love this game regardless of its faults. The graphics, music, and story are definitely ahead of its time. If the controls were slightly fixed or altered it would have been a top notch game in 2003. Indefinitely a unique entry for the Tomb Raider series, a must for any fan of the franchise.

controls are funky but i like that the game itself explores a new way of game-play. i personally like that you have to go back to older levels. it makes it seem like real life almost :) love it and the TR series

It arrived on time (actually early which was cool) and the game actually plays. sometimes it has to be sitting in my PlayStation before I turn it on or else it won't play but I think that's just because my PS2 is old. overall really happy and it came with the booklet which I love!

The game idea has great potential, however the camera angles our disgusting to say and you spend a lot of time fighting them. The controls are slow and has so many bugs in the game that you would think it was made by amateurs. It saddens me to say since I love Tomb Raider DON'T BUY IT!!! your just going to get frustrated and fed up with it. My guess is it was a rush job by then judging from the amount of screw up in it. Save your money its not worth it!!!!!I ended up useing a cheat disk to get round all the screw ups in the game!!!!
