The Unfinished Business Awards!

sheepman23 · 07-10-11, 19:09

Ah, finally I could do this thread after finally getting and playing UB this week.

Considering that this is a game using the same engine as TR1, some of the categories from that game are not in this one, like "Best Weapon." Also, seeing that there are no boss battles, cutscenes/FMVs, or music, I have not included these categories either.

Please do not give more than one answer. This makes it harder for me to pick which one you like more, as you can't give more than one vote for each category. Try to answer all of them - even if you love every level of the game, for the "worst" ones, answer with the one you liked the least. It makes the results more... "well-rounded" if you answer every category.

Here are the other Awards threads:

Tomb Raider + New Additions
Tomb Raider 2 + New Additions
The Golden Mask
Tomb Raider 3 + New Additions
The Lost Artifact
The Last Revelation
Chronicles
The Angel of Darkness
Legend
Anniversary
Underworld
Tomb Raider Series

Thanks to everyone who participates!

Best Level

Your favorite level of the game. Here is the list:

1. Return to Egypt
2. Temple of the Cat
3. Atlantean Stronghold
4. The Hive

Worst Level

Same nominations as Best Level, only the level that's your least favorite in the game.

Toughest Level

Same nominations as Best Level, only the level that you think is the toughest in the game.

Best Room

Any one room, or area (it can be outdoors) of the game that you really liked. Try not to make it a chain or series of rooms - contain it to one special room. Entire levels also don't count for a "room."

Best Trap

Try to make this a specific trap, rather than a general one. For example, instead of saying "boulders," you might say "the boulder room at the beginning of The Hive."

Best Puzzle

A puzzle can be any sort of objective that you have to work out how to reach it. Perhaps it's finding a key, or doing something really huge that changes the level... really, any objective that you have to work at to get.

Best Enemy

Technically, these are the exact same enemies as in TR1... but eh, I feel that there should be a special category anyhow, since the enemies are so prominant in Unfinished Business.

- Crocodile
- Panther
- Cat Mummy
- Atlantean Crawler
- Flying Atlantean
- Centaur

Best Secret

Your favorite secret of the 10 in Unfinished Business.

Toughest Secret

Same as Best Secret... only it's the one you think was toughest to get/find.
