Tomb Raider Anniversary

A Must for Tomb Raider Fans

Strengths: Graphics, Music, Memories of the first Tomb Raider

Weakness: Camera angles go crazy, needs to be longer, control issues

Any one who is a Tomb Raider fan must get this title. The usual suspects (camera angles, control issues) make this game a bit annoying at times, but with practice one will get used to it all. I do wish the game was a bit longer but it can be a challenge to find all of the secrets. I am extremely happy with this product and highly reccommend it for all video gamers.

Revisiting the classic!

Strengths: Boosted graphic, sound and all of extras!!

Weakness: The game could've been more fitted if it was on PS3(?) since it's in need of good games. PS2 had Tomb Raider love by Tomb Raider Legend not long ago.

It's based on original TR and then some! New features and smoother control than the original is definitely a plus!! OK, it's not comparable to PC version of the game in graphic department(I played the demo, it looks great!!), but I prefer PS2 version because I'm so used to Dualshock 2 controller. Either way, you can't go wrong with the game. Fan of the series? Do NOT miss this one!

Bringing a Classic to the Present

Strengths: Graphics, sound, puzzles, and gameplay

Weakness: Camera, length, cutting of a certain areas

This is one of the best games of the year, and is a fitting end to the series on the PS2. All of the original locations (Except for a few places) are back and give a great feeling of nostalgia if you played the original. Gameplay is very similar to Legend (A lot of climbing mixed in with puzzles), except TRA is a much less linear and is much harder. However, even with the vast improvements from...

The Cliffs Notes version of the original PSone game....

Strengths: Original PSone Tomb Raider remade for PS2, updated graphics, new moves, precision controls, $30 retail price

Weakness: Short overall length, too easy for vetrans, smaller enivornments, less effective music

The original PSone port of Tomb Raider helped usher in a new era of 3D gaming, a strong female lead (in the form of Lara Croft) and a nearly endless series of sequels with little to no updates in gameplay. Tomb Raider Anniversary tries to bring the series full circle with a dramatic update to the original game in the series. Unfortunately, what we find here is a decidedly mixed bag. Yes, the...

Tomb raider revamped

Strengths: Great graphics, music rocks, lara is better than before, grapple use

Weakness: Game is too short

This game is a must for all tomb raider fans, the game is sort of a remake of the first tomb raider, the levels are well designed the graphics are stunning the weapons are great, the baddies rock and the scenery is magnificant

Happy anniversary Lara C.

Strengths: Classic TR with next gen graphics

Weakness: funky camera (but you know you love it)

Lara gets an excellent anniversary gift as a kind of best-of her early years (pre-PS2) which works perfectly as a follow-up to the also excellent "Legend." If you haven't played the originals, this version more than makes up for what you missed (plus no blotchy sprites, nothing but high-rez); the haunting puzzles, the twitch-reflex skill-tests and the think-on-your feet gameplay dynamic with...

Tomb Raider Anniversary

Strengths: Graphics and sound

Weakness: Camera angles

Tomb Raider: Anniversary is a revisit of the original Tomb Raider game. It uses the much improved Tomb Raider: Legend engine to generate great graphics and sound to in order to give you a more immersed experience. New features and better control have been added to this game. However, this game would rock more visually if it were released on the PS3 platform to utilize the High-Def powers. Anyway,...

A Great Remake

Strengths: Great graphics, Reasonably priced for a new game, several unlockables

Weakness: Not extremely difficult

Tomb Raider: Anniversary is a remake of the original Tomb Raider. Simply calling it a remake doesn't really do the game justice though. The game developers gave the entire game an overhaul, improving the graphics, redesigning levels, and changing the gaming engine. The result is a game that remains faithful to the original but holds up to today's standards. My only criticism is that the game...

A new look for an old classic!

Strengths: Upgraded graphics, Better play control, Quality sound

Weakness: Wonky camera angles

This a great pick up for those who haven't had the opportunity to play this great series. The improved graphics and sound brings it up to par to current titles and keeps things fresh for experienced players. Many of the features that past players are familiar with are back with some surprising new twists.

A good retelling of a great story

Strengths: Nice improvements to the original game, good graphics and sound, good to see they made the game a little different

Weakness: But still, haven't we seen this before? Also, PS2 version not as good as the PC version-- PS2 probably could've been improved

Tomb Raider Anniversary is a return to the original Tomb Raider game, using the game engine of Tomb Raider Legend. This means that the graphics, controls, and general feel of the game is much more modern. And in many ways this game feels like the game they wanted to make back 10 years ago but technology wouldn't allow it. It's very nice to see how well the game can play. It's still the game you...
