Story

These levels take place in the hot and humid jungle of Cambodia. The second level "Temple Ruins" is a BONUS-level. This means that Lara and Von Croy won't be able to access it unless Lara finds all four "Golden Skulls". If you don't find all four skulls, you'll be sent back to the menu again instead of going on to the next level.

"Jungle Fever"
Werner von Croy is leading Lara towards the ancient ruins of Ankor Wat. What he doesn't show her is the location of the "Golden Skulls". This is where Lara has to venture out on her own.

"Temple Ruins"
Wanting to take the shortest route to the Iris, Von Croy gets himself locked up in a corridor. So it's up to Lara to find her way to the Iris alone and set Von Croy free again.

Jungle Fever

Jungle Fever is by far one of the most beautiful jungle levels I have ever seen. Titak has an exceptional eye for detail, and the result is an enthralling and strikingly realistic level.

The setting is a fusion of TR3’s Jungle and TR4’s Angkor Wat, and the levels are played with Young Lara (thus devoid of guns and flares) but this doesn’t detract from the experience.

The gameplay is varied throughout the two levels – in ‘Jungle Fever’, the challenge is mainly in finding the secrets. There are some crocodiles and wild pigs to pester our adolescent heroine, but otherwise nothing too dangerous. ‘Temple Ruins’ ups the difficulty considerably, with many spikes and blade traps to be avoided, but the game never becomes frustrating.

Jungle Fever is a fun, satisfying, and completely absorbing raid. Even if you aren’t keen on Young Lara levels, give this a try if only to admire the stunning locations. A real gem of a level.
