Hitting the Playstation network in summer, Guardians of Light tells the story of a battle that took place over 2000 years ago between the forces of light and dark. Jump to present day and Lara has discovered and awoken the leader of the light, Totec, and now they have to work together to stop the evil Zolop and his returning dark forces.
This presents a brilliant opportunity of on or offline co-op with both Totec and Lara playable characters.
Crystal Dynamics have littered the game with ways that players must work together to overcome obstacles or solve puzzles. Totec can hold his shield above his head or throw spears into a nearby wall, which Lara can then jump on to reach higher ledges. Lara can also grapple onto Totec or create a tightrope by grappling onto a nearby object, which Totec can walk across.
But fear not single players, if you would rather take on the adventure on your own, crystal dynamics have made sure that single players can stampede through the richly textured tombs. When you select single player from the main menu the game totally changes and makes all puzzles and obstacles solvable using one person instead of two.
This adventure should take around 7 hours to complete, and is brimming with additional tombs and puzzles to solve. And with Keeley Hawes voicing Lara once again, its bound to be a hit with middle aged men everywhere.
