Amazing! But where only focusing on the Mayan underworlds after all the game is based around the Mayan Calendar.

I'm sure they will include as many as possible...

But they will chose the most well known ones...

Good Find though!

Well there's many "Mayan Underworlds" we were learning about them today in class i made a thread about it. There's 9 underworlds. So that means we might be visiting well 9 underworlds.

This opens up many possible locations: Rome, return to Egypt, Japan, China, India, and many more! I'm getting too excited, CD probably hasn't seen any of this

Well I'm sure there's more places other than Mexico she will have to visit. But like i said before the plot simply only says the mayan calendar. So sadly the only underworlds will be visiting is the Mayan's. I think it's a great idea though!

well, they said that the mayan underworld will be a tiny part of the game, so there will be many other underworlds

============================

many underworlds = many levels

many levels = perfect tr game
