I Semerkhet, High Priest of Horus, forewarn that he who removes the Amulet shall have released Set. He who walked abroad with the Jackals at the dawn of man shall once again violate the Earth.
Set, ruler of evil, will again be free at the turn of a distant millennia. At his heel plagues and locusts. Harvests fail under the broken skies.

Gameplay
The game uses a new engine. The title screen is different since the player will fly through first person perspective across many scenes related to Egypt, while selecting from the game menu. This is different compared to the traditional ring and passport system adopted by the first three games. The inventory is also displayed differently. Instead of the ring system, is uses a conveyor belt style approach which runs across the top of the screen.
Lara is contructed from more polygons and her mouth actually moves when she speaks, this makes a great change to the sporadic knodding the she would adopt when speaking in the previous games. This also applies to all other characters. As well as being able to perform all the moves in the previous games, she can now rope swing and shimmy around corners. She will continuously push/pull boxes without having to start and stop over again (a very annoying aspect of the previous games). She can also now pull levers with a oscillating motion. Although Lara can move more fluidly, the camera positions have found been found to pose some difficulties.
Weapons have changed also. With the introduction of new weapons, comes different types of ammunition. This applies to the shotgun, crossbow and grenade launcher. Different types of ammo have different capabilities, e.g. the poison and explosive crossbow ammunition. Also the laser sight makes its first appearence in this game. It is found seperately and can be attached to the revolver and crossbow for more accurate shooting that takes place in the first person perspective.
When shooting, empty bullets can be seen being emptied from the weapon. Enhanced smoke effects are also used when a weapon is shot. When Lara climbs out of water, droplets of water can be seen dripping from all over her body. Sun reflection have been enhanced and also general weathering.
The game has new vehicles and Lara keeps her classic tomb raider outfit on throughout the game. Last revelation is a ressurection of the original Tomb Raider. As well as the outfit, the mass features of tombs and quiet locations backs up this ressurection. Croft Mansion does not appear in this game.
