I wish there were other unlockables besides concept art (another problem shared with the console games), but at the end of the day, Tomb Raider: Underworld on the DS is a great game that any DS owner would be silly not to at least try.

The game's so dark in places, it's almost unplayable if you don't have a lite. [Jan 2009, p.98]

The game isn’t without its flaws and there are definite places where the game could use a good tweak or two, but in all this DS game is a solid and enjoyable Tomb Raider design.

Nice face, shame about the legs. Despite some great locations and visuals Underworld's gameplay will feel a bit on the bland side for regular pocket gamers - the more casual crowd should love it, though.

A polished platformer with plenty of 'oooh' moments, but has ideas too big for its station. [Jan 2009, p.65]

Expect a few day’s play out of Underworld and little more. As in the real world, there’s no reason to raid a tomb that’s already been raided.

Tomb Raider: Underworld is ultimately a competent but underwhelming platform game that has little to offer fans of the genre.
