Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light Guide

Here is a complete single player guide to Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light.

I believe the walkthrough for co-op mode may be a bit different, so I’m giving everyone a warning now. This is a single player only guide to the game. This Guide was written long ago, so excuse the grammar and formatting.

Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light is a downloadable game on Microsoft Windows, Xbox Live Arcade, and Playstation Network which is 2.02 GB in size (XBLA Version). LC:GOL is priced at 1200 MSP for XBLA and $14.99 on PSN. It is part of the Tomb Raider series, but it does not carry the tomb raider name. The game is considered an “Isometric Action Platform” game, developed by Crystal Dynamics, published by Square Enix and Eidos, and directed by Daniel Neuberger. The Guardian of Light is rated ESRB:T and PEGI:12 for Animated Blood and Violence. Guardian of Light uses the same engine as Tomb Raider: Underworld with a few newer tweaks. Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light was released August 18, 2010 and features single player, offline two player co-op, and online co-op gameplay; however, the online co-op gameplay will not be enabled until September 28, 2010.
