'''Francine''' is [[Pierre (AoD)|Pierre]]'s EX. She will allow you through her apartment in [[Tomb Raider 6]] to get to the graveyard. Francine resembles [[Janice]] very much. She is nice towards Lara, telling her that Bouchard is in the old church. She also warns her that the rooftops are dangerous and that she should be careful. From her balcony, Lara can reach [[St. Aicard's Graveyard]].

==Triva==
Francine could have been made by the same model as Janice, explaining the likeness. She also has similar clothes, her jacket is the same but black rather than red, her shoes are similar but lack the staps that Janice's does.

The [[Willard Mutant]] is born, when [[Dr. Willard]] threw himself into the [[Meteorite Crater]].

Willard assembles the artefacts at the cavern and raises the meteorite from its resting place. He evolves at a tremendous rate into a 4-legged beast with spikes for hands, and a twisted torso. He tries to prevent Lara from removing the artefacts but fails. The artefacts kept him invincible and their removal made him vulnerable to gunfire. He died at the feet of Lara.

==Powers==
Willard's twisted evolved form is the last boss of Tomb Raider III. When the meteorite artefacts are in their respective places within the meteorite cavern, he is invincible, although too much gunfire will make him unconscious for a short while. While conscious, he can manipulate the power of the meteorite and fire pulsating energy balls, from his spiked-hands which seem to be the antennas for concentrating the energy. He also is quite agile in the air, being able to perform a quick 180 degree jump on the spot.

'''Tomb Raider Underworld''' will continue the story of [[Tomb Raider Legend]], as it was left open at the end. Lara's next adventure revolves around the ancient Mayan calendar and the five days that leave the portal to the Underworld open. This Underworld may be the same as Avalon.

==Release Dates & Platforms==
Tomb Raider Underworld will be released in November 2008. It will be playable on the [[PC]], [[PlayStation 3]], [[XBox 360]], Wii, Nintendo DS and PS2.

{{tr8levels}}

==Features and Controls==
Differences from previous iterations in the series are that Lara's world will be an "interactive world that reacts and remembers", such that footprints left in the mud or mud transferred to Lara's knee from kneeling on the ground will be washed away by rain, the bodies of the foes she encounters will remain where she killed them, and any destruction to the environment she causes will be permanent.[13] According to creative director Eric Lindstrom, this is "to not only reward the player for the effect they're having on the world, but to give them navigational aids."[15] The game utilises an animation blending system that allows Lara to interact dynamically with her environment, such as pushing foliage aside with one or two hands, depending on if she is carrying a weapon.[16] It also features a "hybrid lighting model that combines dynamic lights with carefully created light maps" and a weather system that changes the environment, for example, "If Lara’s negotiating a wet ledge she’s more apt to slip or lose grip," which makes "the environment ... her adversary" for a large part of the game.[13][17]

Previously seen separate aspects of gameplay have been combined together for a new experience. Lindstrom explained that "in the past, there was climbing, and there was shooting, and there was puzzle solving. And they often didn't overlap. We've now integrated all of those elements."[18] This instalment also features a new melee combat system, requiring Lara in some instances to use "direct combat and evasive manoeuvres to distance herself from her attacker". Notably, Lara's bike, among other things, will be a key component in solving the puzzles she will encounter in her adventure.[13] Pick-ups will have multiple uses as weapons and tools in interaction with the environment, and Lindstrom stated that Lara "can also split up her guns and fire at two different targets simultaneously,"[15] or hold an item with one hand and fire a gun with the other.[18] The grappling hook can now be stretched taut and used to push objects off ledges unlike in previous iterations, illustrating what project lead Rob Pavey said, that "Lara will be able to do anything that you'd expect her to be able to do," which he called "the big theme this year."[7] Lindstrom describes this as "a philosophy called 'What Could Lara Do?'—WCLD. It's short-hand for having the player be able to use their own intuition about what someone with her abilities should be able to do in an environment such as this, and consistency across the different mechanics and abilities. If she can throw a grenade, then if she can pick up this pole, why can't she throw it?" Crystal Dynamics also aims to make the game non-linear, unlike Tomb Raider: Legend, and eliminate the need for hint icons that indicate the ability to interact with objects.[15]

Aside from these changes, Lara's costume was redesigned and she no longer wears her trademark blue sleeveless top and khaki shorts, but instead, a dark brown halter top and black shorts. Additionally, her hair is no longer braided, but worn in a ponytail. According to Play, Lara "moves as good as she looks [and] no longer moves like a video game character" thanks to being fully motion captured.[13]

These revelations and Play's assertions that this is the "first true next gen Lara" and "one big physics smorgasbord" which "looks altogether photo-real"[13] have led to speculation that Tomb Raider: Underworld might be using a new game engine for its next-generation graphics rather than the Tomb Raider: Legend system used by Tomb Raider: Anniversary and Deus Ex 3,[19] but Eidos has neither confirmed nor denied this.[5]

Keeley Hawes will provide the voice of Lara in this instalment, as she did in Anniversary and Legend.[5] Olympic gymnast and NCAA Women's Gymnastics champion Heidi Moneymaker was the model used for motion capturing.

Here is a brief list of new and key elements in Tomb Raider: Underworld

* dynamic weather
* dynamic dirt on Lara's clothes
* Lara "has more than a dozen layers that determine her skin tone and texture, how light reflects or scatters, how shadows form, etc." <ref>play magazine, January 2008</ref>
* Lara has additional non-gameplay-relevant animations like pushing away branches <ref>CD Action magazine</ref>
* Destroyed objects and defeated enemies will no longer vanish
* new combat tactics (hand-to-hand combat - kicking and punching - melee combat... e.g. hitting opponents with picked-up sticks)
* shooting two targets at once
* shooting while climbing
* shooting while balancing on a pole
* advanced environment interaction
* multiple usage of objects (e.g. using picked up items - like a wooden stick - as weapons or for climbing)
* sprinting
* balancing on ropes
* new, advanced wall-climbing
* multiple usage of the grapple rope (e.g. pulling objects closer, for climbing, for balancing across...)
* The game will be significantly longer than [[Tomb Raider Legend]]
* the game will contain more difficult puzzles
* The hint system can be turned off
* fewer boss fights
* Lara will encounter dangerous cryptids (creatures that are presumed extinct, or have yet to be discovered) that require many shots before being defeated
* improved opponent AI (e.g. recognition of thrown grenades and evasive actions)
* It has been rumoured that the [[medipacks]] will no longer exist and thus Lara must find another way of healing
* Keeley Hawes voices Lara

==Story==

For generations, stories have been told of the fearsome weapon of the Norse god Thor. Legend holds that he who wields the hammer has the power to smash mountains into valleys and the strength to destroy even the gods. For more than a thousand years it has existed only as a myth…until now.

In an ancient ruin on the floor of the [[Mediterranean Sea]], Lara Croft uncovers proof of the Norse underworld and the mythical hammer. As she attempts to unravel the secrets behind these myths, Lara's perilous journey leads her toward a forgotten power that, if unleashed, could lay waste to all civilization.

[[Image:Sophia.jpg|thumb|113px|right|Sophia]]'''Sophia Leigh''' is a character from [[Tomb Raider III]].

In the first level of the [[London]] section, [[Thames Wharf]], Lara is attacked by a goon in the end. Lara forces him to tell her who he is working for. He tells her that he is working for Sophia Leigh, like his father and grandfather before him. Confused, Lara asks him how old Sophia is and he replies that she's about 30 years old.
At the end of the second level, Lara meets a faceless man who was on of Sophia's failed experement. He tells her Sophia is testing for everlasting beauty and keeps the best results for herself.

Lara then meets Sophia before the last level. Sophia asks Lara would she like to join her company. Lara says all she wants is the artiefact.
Sophia laughs and says "In your next life!" Lara chases her out of the building on to some rooftops. She shoots green energy bolts at Lara.
Lara shoots at an electricity box and kills Sophia.

Sophia is in possession of the [[Eye of Isis]], one of the four artefacts that come from the heart of an ancient meteorite.

In the Level [[City]], the last level of the [[London]] section, Sophia attacks Lara by shooting green energy bolts at her.

Sophia returns in the [[Lost Artifact]] level [[Reunion]] were she has the [[Hand of Rathmore]].

== Trivia ==

* Sophia Leigh was created by using the same model as Lara.
* In the Official [[Tomb Raider]] Files book Sophia has middle-length brown hair and red lips, this could possibly be an early model of Sophia Leigh.
