You didn't notice colourful flowers and exotic parrots?

Southern Mexico > DLC (I didn't get to play it but I watched the walkthroughs) > Coastal Thailand > Jan Mayan Island > Arctic Sea > Mediterranean Sea > Croft Manor

Mexico is the only good level in the initial game though. Everything else was just wasted potential.

Didn't fancy Mexico much. Bit damp and dismal and the bike was a pain. Coastal Thailand and the others were awesome. The giant hammer room was'nt such a pleasant place but a stunning and frightening experience. Looking forward to playing it again. Hopefully less awestruck this time.

I LOVE Mexico. It's really the only highlight of Underworld, to be honest:
- The motorbike is fun to use
- Mayan ruins are neat
- The weather effects in the first two levels are AMAZING
- The jungle is nice and big, there's lots to explore
- Great puzzle for getting into Xibalba, the timed run was particularly good
- Giant spiders = FTW
- Dripping with atmosphere (figuratively and literally)
- The 4 challenge rooms in The Midgard Serpent are great, I love the entire concept of that level
- Lots of great climbing sequences
- Room with eitr fountains looks cool and is fun to explore
- Relic is quite cleverly hidden

Overall, I think Southern Mexico is Crystal Dynamics' best original Tomb Raider production to date. St. Francis Folly takes the cake for best production, but the idea wasn't theirs.

1. Jan Mayan Island
I love this level. Its very atmospheric. Plenty of climbing and traversal. Plus the level has some of my favourite pieces from the score.

2. Mediterranean Sea
I just love this section. I enjoy the gameplay and it features some of the most prettiest environments in the game (Thor's Gauntlet Room *U*)

3. Coastal Thailand
Atmospheric, lengthy and varied. In my opinion, anyway.

4. Arctic Sea
I love the Deep Sea segments. Expansive environments that ooze atmosphere. I enjoy the final portion of the level too.

5. Southern Mexico
I think I prefer the second portion of this level to the first. Xibalba is great. The trials are fab.

6. Croft Manor
I enjoy this level. However, there isn't any standout moments.

7. Andaman Sea
Whilst I like it, it definitely feels like a filler section as its the same ship, reused from the Mediterranean. No variations at all.

Beneath the ashes pretty much wiped the floor with the entirety of the main game in all honesty. Best level design by CD IMO.
