Raider Man Posted July 26, 2008 Report Share Posted July 26, 2008 I heard that if you bring all the rewards, they will open you a bonus level! Is that true?!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ms.Croft Posted July 26, 2008 Report Share Posted July 26, 2008 Yes, it is true. The level is called Style Units (I think, can't remember perfectly), and it's basically a level the designers created to test the 4 main locations of Tomb Raider (Peru, Greece, Egypt, etc...). As you progress throughout the level, the surroundings change to suit the current location. The level doesn't have an end, and it's cyclical (You end where you began). Quite interesting with the commentary turned on! MsC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demon_Knight69 Posted November 18, 2008 Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 I thought the Egypt part of that "Level" looked pretty koo. Too bad they didn't but that area into the actual game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Fusion Posted November 19, 2008 Report Share Posted November 19, 2008 the peru bit had a lot more plant detail too, looks they cut some graphical designs maybe to make TRU look better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ms.Croft Posted November 19, 2008 Report Share Posted November 19, 2008 the peru bit had a lot more plant detail too, looks they cut some graphical designs maybe to make TRU look better It was most likely due to the framerate. It was a last-gen game afterall and was designed to run on the PS2, and adding far too much plant clutter would slow the game down, which is why they created that level afterall, to test the environments out.

Demon_Knight69 Posted November 21, 2008 Report Share Posted November 21, 2008 I will say that "playing" a level without any badies is a good level to practice moves and things in, instead of doing it in the manor. You had actual environments to practice in. Plus, it was kinda cool to see how they made the levels. And agin, nice to "play" a level without having someting jump out at you trying to kill you LOL.
