Tomb Raider Underworld for PC

I've play other games on my Laptop but when I tryed Tomb Raider Underworld I found that it wouldn't play on My, My Wife's, or my Son's laptop. I emailed Eidos and their reply was that my laptop didn't have a large enough video card for this game.

I think it's wrong of them to put out a game and not tell the buyer that it may not work on their computer. The only thing the box says, and in print that you have to have a magnfy glass to read is the words - "Increased Performance will be noticed on more powerful systems."

I'm sure I'm not the only person that now has a worthless Eidos PC game due to that their only concern is selling the game not caring if it will work on the buyer computer. I'm out the money spent on the game Unless I would be willing to spend around $300, to up grade my laptop. I've bought a lot of Eido's games in the past but this will be my last.

re: Tomb Raider Underworld for PC

I haven't seen the packaging on this game, but usually they give you a rough recommendation as to what is required. If it's not on the packaging, you could look around the net to see what's required to play. It's obvious that more powerful graphics cards will allow you to push the graphics settings up, so that message is rather pointless.

From what I can find, the minimum requirements are an nVidia GeForce 6 series 6800GT / ATI 1800XT, which is quite reasonable as they're old cards now. Recommended however is nVidia GeForce 9800 GTX or ATI HD4800, fairly new cards which systems over a year old won't have. I'm not sure what graphics cards you have in your systems (laptops tend to have less powerful cards compared to desktops), but if you turn down the graphics settings you should be able to get something out of it. Also make sure you have the latest drivers for your graphics card (run dxdiag in the Run prompt to find what card you have, then download drivers from the nVidia / AMD website), you'd be surprised what updating the drivers can do for your gaming experience.
