Underrated game is underrated.
Plot Synopsis: The story begins in Paris where a serial killer the press have named "The Monstrum" has been terrorizing the city, killing several seemingly unconnected individuals in a brutal, ritualistic fashion. Lara has arrived in Paris to visit her former mentor, Werner Von Croy. The visit, however, is not pleasant; Lara blames Werner for abandoning her in Egypt at the conclusion of Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation. Werner begs for her help, complaining that he is being stalked, and asks that she talk to Mademoiselle Carvier, a friend of his and art historian at the Louvre, but Lara admonishes him and gets up to leave. In the next few moments, a blur of activity occurs, and Lara is knocked unconscious. When she awakes, Werner is dead, and his blood is smeared both on her hands and the walls of the apartment, forming strange symbols. Unsure of what has happened, and of her own guilt or innocence, Lara flees the apartment, and is pursued down the backstreets of Paris by French police.

This is my favorite awful game ever made. Also, the best main theme song for a game I've ever heard in my whole life. It just kills me every time! I love you AOD!

Agreed, the theme is hauntingly beautiful. One of the best soundtracks for a game ever.

Take a look at this trailer I was reminded of the other day, it's absolutely stunning. It makes me really upset that the game wasn't finished, this could have been the best of them all.

Had AOD been finished, I'm almost certain that it would have been my favorite game in the series. Core had the right idea. Too bad Eidos has to fuck everything up.

^ If only Core could've been given just a bit more time. I can't believe how Eidos treated them. They say they "needed the money" ... but that's crap. Look at the amount of time between AOD and Legend! Surely it would've been better business to let Core get to work and whip them into the sequel in the same engine post-haste.
