Tomb Raider: Anniversary (PC)

It may have sold 30 million copies worldwide, but before the release of Tomb Raider: Legend last year it looked like Lara Croft was ending her video game career in disgrace.... more...Thankfully the new game was exactly the reboot that the series needed, instantly reminding everyone why they loved it (and Lara) so much in the first place. So to mark the tenth anniversary of the first game (actually 2007 is the eleventh anniversary, but who's counting?) Eidos are releasing this special remake of the first game in the series, using an enhanced version of the graphics engine from Tomb Raider: Legend.Although the game does feature the same basic settings and levels as the original, this isn't just the same game with better graphics. Most of the levels are larger, with many new paths and areas to explore. They're also much more interactive, with Lara using many of the same moves and gadgets she demonstrated in Tomb Raider: Legend, including a grappling hook and a greater variety of weapons. The story has been expanded too, but it does keep the same basic structure with more animal enemies than the later games, including the infamous encounter with a tyrannosaurs rex. Instead of just running straight at you mindlessly, the enemies have also been given much better artificial intelligence than previously.The new graphics are still the most obvious change but the new fluid movement of Lara is a world away from the awkward grid based system used in the old games. Indeed this should be the first video game remake to actually prove itself as something more than just a cheap cash-in.HARRISON DENT :In 1996, the original Tomb Raider was launched. The 3D game design, controls and graphics were truly ground breaking for their time. Furthermore, gamers were also presented with a unique, female human playable character with whom they could become emotionally attached, Lara Croft. The original Tomb Raider sold over seven million copies and is still heralded as an absolute classic and one of the best action adventure games ever. Tomb Raider defined the PlayStation and changed the way that people played games.In tribute to this and to celebrate and commemorate the continuing development of the Tomb Raider franchise and its central character, Crystal Dynamics are developing a new Tomb Raider adventure for Lara. Inspired by the original Tomb Raider video game; Lara Croft Tomb Raider: Anniversary faithfully preserves the elements which made the original Tomb Raider game such a classic.Using an enhanced `Tomb Raider: Legend' game engine, the graphics, technology and physics bring Lara's adventure and pursuit of a mystical artefact known only as the Scion right up to today's technology standards and will offer gamers a completely new gameplay experience.STORY OVERVIEW:Tomb Raider follows the adventures of Lara Croft after she is hired by a powerful syndicate to retrieve a mythical object called the Scion. After discovering that she has been used as a pawn in some larger scheme, Lara takes matters into her own hands deciding that she must uncover the mystery behind this ancient artefact.

Its Lara Croft again

Advantages: graphics, acrobatic moves and interesting puzzles, Lara Croft
Disadvantages: not enough sounds, some annoying levels, no huge development from Legend

Tomb Raider games have always been evolving and we have seen how good a game, Tomb raider: Legend happened to be. This sequel can't be considered as a major improvement, as Legend was a little bit more interesting for me. The game is almost the same as Legend in mos of the areas, in the looks of Lara, the environment as well as the usual Tomb Raider style of gaming. Lara has certainly come a long way after we saw her for the first time, but its still ...
...a remake of the original Tomb Raider game of 1996, it may have some similiar enemies as well as an identical plot. But I can't recollect how the first Tomb Raider looked like, so concentrating more on this game, we have an introduction video in the beginning itself. In the year 1945, its Los Alamos, New Mexico and we will see everything in the town being destroyed and lava everywhere. We will see an unknown winged creature flying out of a crystal ...

Fun but infurating sometimes.....

Advantages: Great graphics, some cool new moves
Disadvantages: Few instal and in game glitches - manouvering a bit difficult sometimes!

I have been a tomb raider gamer since the first one came out, and I think with Anniversary and with the previous "Legend" the whole thrill for me has gone. Anniversary is a remake of the original tombraider and I remember some of the levels quite well, especially the dreaded T-Rex you have to take down, if you survived the Raptors! Anniversary is a remake to make use of all the gaming developments both in ways that Lara can move, how she interacts ...
...sometimes easy is because when tomb raider first came out it was a lot simple than what it evolved into. I very much enjoy the ability to do a little gymnastics with lara, grab onto walls and drop down and jump up - but when it comes to manoeuvring her during battle it drives me insane! The puzzles are fun, though some can get a little tedious. Croft Manner is fun but takes ages and because much of it looks the same inside you can get mixed up as ...

I've missed you Lara

Advantages: Excellent graphics, intelligent level design, atmospheric
Disadvantages: Might be a bit short for experienced gamers

...big fan of the original Tomb Raider games on the PS1, but until now have never tried the recent releases. I was very pleasantly surprised by the quality of this latest PC Tomb Raider release. The graphics, even with my outdated GeForce 6200 card, are first rate - large sprawling caverns, jungle clearings and snow-capped mountains come to life - the very infrequent reduction in frame rate is hardly noticeable. Gameplay can be frustrating at times ...
...know and love in the Tomb Raider series. The combat can be tricky at times, mostly due to the dynamically changing camera angles, but you get used to it. Experienced players may get through the game fairly quickly, but there's always the replay value in finding all the secret locations. Casual players will find many hours of entertaining gameplay, which focuses more on acrobats and exploration than it does on combat - thankfully this is not a game ...

Quick review of Tomb Raider: Anniversary (PC)

A big watse of time. I have played all of the tomb raider games and this was by far the worst game yet. The controls on the pc were ridiculously hard to control and the camera was terrible. It would spin arpound to face lara's face just at the second when you are likely to get killed or somethings attacking you. Another thing that highly annoyed me was how difficult the end battle sequences were, u had to use stratagies that no one would ever think of and the only way i found out how to do them was to go online and use walkthroughs. Even when i did go online and find out what i had to do it still wouldnt do what i wanted. ...
