Guzenda: "Zip was actually one of the very few characters from previous games who wasn't killed or disappeared that came into contact with Lara. In the original game she was pretty much always alone, and although that's actually key to the game - feeling that you're alone in the tomb and Lara's the first person to get there - the problem was that it's also very hard to move her personality along if she's not talking to anyone.

Unless you're using flashback Scenes and interrupting gameplay, it's very hard to add personality to a character - which is something we really wanted to do with Legend. Having Zip and Alister, having her interact with those guys, adds to her personality and obviously moves the story along. It was also an easy way for us to do a help system that was a little bit more subtle. If you get stuck in a level and don't know what's going on, those guys pipe up and give you some hints.

Guzenda: "The thing with Arthur, the myth of King Arthur, is that it is a weapon, and depending on who you talk to, there are about 20 different versions of the myth.

So it's a really cool one to play with - there's plenty of room to explain it and you cant get proven wrong. Cooper: "At first it was like Well, where would we put the Arthurian tomb? One influence for the museum was the funhouse level in Max Payne 2 - it had come out before wed started, but was still fresh in our minds Guzenda: "If you ever get an email from me, my tagline is That's Lara, not Laura!

Obviously there's a worldwide audience for Lara, but she's also somewhat of a UK icon. So we were very protective - Im actually British and there are a couple of other Brits on the team, and obviously Toby Gard too. He was a great source of, She wouldnt say that, she'd say it this way. Although technically its a mansion because we dont show any of the estate Guzenda: Originally, we wanted more creatures in the game than we had.

We ended up using human enemies quite a lot, and I think that, based on some of the feedback we've got, they're something we'll go back to in future games. With Lara you're always very careful, asking would Lara do this? It's not a shooter, and she doesn't do it for the tin ill of killing people, so you always have to wonder what Lara would do in the situation. The team have had plenty of discussions saying, Well Lara wouldn't shoot that'. Like one time we had chickens running around a village and you could shoot them.

But would Lara actually shoot chickens? You get lots of weird conversations about stuff like that. It's Fair to say that Lara Croft and the Tomb Raider franchise have taken one hell of a battering in recent years. After her hugely successful first outing, the square-breasted aristocrat must have felt nigh-on invincible. Sadly, years of subsequent abuse at the hands of uninspired games developers, not to mention a couple of dodgy movies, have worn down the lady's veneer of perfection, and the series has degenerated into something of a sad joke in gaming circles.

But all that is set to change. At least, it is if you believe what publisher Eidos is saying. Yes, yes, we know this is the same company who promised the horrifically bug-ridden Tomb Raider: The Angel Of Darkness would reinvigorate the third-person sepulchre-looting genre, but this time it's got an ace up its sleeve in the shape of original Lara Croft creator Toby Gard, who's been hired as lead character designer for Tomb Raider: Legend.

As these screenshots show, Gard has applied a touch of what film directors often describe as a re-imagining' to Lara. She's unmistakably the same feisty posh bird we all enjoyed accompanying on her mausoleum-robbing sprees all those years ago, but she now carries frag grenades and sports a pair of non-ridiculously-sized norks although her shorts appear to have shrunk in the wash.

It's a new Lara for a new generation, or something. As well as the new character model, she's also getting freshly-animated moves, expressions and abilities, and neat little features like reactive eyes. You'll also get plenty of gadgets to help make your catacomb-based thievery go smoother than ever.

Aside from the famous dual pistols, Lara's now packing communications gear, binoculars, a magnetic grappling thingummy and something that Crystal Dynamics refers to as a personal lighting device' - what's wrong with torch'?

The developer is also making noises that suggest a return to Lara's old-style crypt-burgling antics is on the cards, and this can only be a good thing in our eyes. The team has poured over the reactions to each previous Tomb Raider title, replayed them all and conducted new research in an effort to unearth that elusive fun factor.

In our humble opinion, a well-balanced mixture of exploration and puzzle-solving was the cornerstone of the first game's appeal, and if Crystal Dynamics can successfully recapture that, then we could finally see a new Tomb Raider game that lives up to the Lara legend. Full playtest soon. I'm Not Sure when things started getting out of hand with Lara Croft She's been on the cover of the late great Face magazine where she was compared to Pamela Anderson and Yoda , the subject of numerous feminist academic research papers and she's been described as both a cultural icon and 'one of the most fascinating and enigmatic figures of our time' by the developers of course.

The trouble is, when you start concentrating on extra-curricular activities like this, your day job suffers and one of the things that made her famous - the Tomb Raider games - have now made her a laughing stock. So it's make or break time. And despite fearing the worst the good news which I'll get out of the way early doors, is that there's plenty of life in the old dog yet Crystal Dynamics have taken the essence of Tomb Raider , tightened the dynamics and delivered a solid, if short game without any visible bugs.

It kicks off with a flashback - a narrative device that's used throughout the game to piece together Lara's past - to a plane crash in Nepal, before moving to the present-day and the obligatory tutorial which deposits you in a good old-fashioned tomb.

And this is where you get on with what Lara does best - solving puzzles, pushing and pulling crates and dispatching bad guys and endangered wildlife with your trusty pistols. And while it doesn't manage to create the same sense of awe as the original, you have to put that down to the fact that we're spoilt for choice these days.

The pacing of the game is almost perfect You're propelled through the game on the edge of your seat without spending too much time working out where to go or what you're supposed to be doing. Regular checkpoints mean that you never have to backtrack more than one puzzle or several somersaults if you die, but it never feels like you're on rails. Everything's been designed to make the game flow as smoothly as possible.

Take the new grappling hook, which you use to retrieve crates or swing to remote areas of the level. Rather than letting you work out which objects you can use through trial and error, relevant surfaces shimmer to give you a visual clue. And if that's not enough, you can use your binoculars to analyse objects and see whether you can move them, grab them or shoot them.
