Khmer ruins depicted as fictitious Thai ruins???
Friday, January 9th, 2009
Tomb Raider: Underworld is developed by Crystal Dynamics under Eidos Interactive is an action adventure game. I notice on Level 3: Coastal Thailand, Khmer ruins are depicted as fictitious Thai ruins. I know this is just a game and I also know that Thailand has some ancient Khmer ruins from the days of the Khmer Empire. However, the ruins in the game were renditioned from some of the actually ruins that exist in Cambodia. It bothers me to see the reditioned Khmer-style ruins are referred to Thailand. Khmer ruins have unique architectural styles that no one has. I wish the game develpers would have created the Level 3 setting of the game in Cambodia instead of Thailand. This would only make more sense since most of the ruins characteristics are that of Khmers'.
Here is a brief preview of the scene from the game.
