The story of Tomb Raider II surrounds the mythical Dagger of Xian, a weapon which was used by an Emperor of China to command his army. By plunging the weapon into its owner's heart, the weapon has the power to turn its bearer into a dragon. The game sets in the present day near the remains of the Great Wall, where Lara Croft investigates the legend of the Dagger.
Sadly I haven't played the original Tomb Raider (only the recent remake) so this is the oldest one I have played. The TR games have this distinctive style so fans of the series will surely love it. But, non-fans will like it as well. It is a very good game, with a lot of riddles and action, though not as good as TR III and TR IV.
Cool game.
