Treasure Island by Psiko (Antonio Tarantello )

Treasure Island

Having found the ‘Treasure Island’ book from her huge library, Lara reads about the treasure of Flint, a dead Captain of the Seas, hidden on an unknown island of the Pacific. Lara falls asleep and the book drops from her hands revealing a double cover, which seems to exactly reveal the location of the island described by Flint in his treasure map and that's why Lara decides to leave again for the Pacific Ocean.

Psiko is certainly ahead of his time and is one of our world's true artists. This level may not be to everyone's taste, but no one can dispute it was crafted by a master level designer. I have to give credit to Psiko for having the pioneering spirit and artistic ability to put something like this together. And the funny thing is, the first time I played through it, I didn't particularly enjoy it, but the second time through it was one my favourite levels in the whole LatM experience. Go figure!

Being Scottish I suppose I was always going to enjoy seeing Lara in a kilt! Good use of new objects throughout and I loved the pirates! The final treasure room I thought was superb, wonderfully laid out and a very satisfying end to what was a memorable little adventure.

All in all I'd say this was a highly professional modern artists personal journey into Lara's world and one that is not to be missed.
