While the storyline of Tomb Raider -- Legend revolves around the series' traditional "tomb raiding," Lara must also adventure through modern city levels, proving her acrobatic skill set is as applicable to skyscrapers and cement as it is to unforgiving wilderness and ancient architecture. New equipment, such as the grappling hook and communication device, offer new abilities, and a number of vehicles become available along the way for special gameplay sequences. Lara will travel through eight side-scrolling environments as her story is told by a series of slide show images, solving puzzles and collecting artifacts to unlock items and buyable goods by completing objectives.
