Tomb Raider: Anniversary (Xbox 360)

Advantages: great graphics, great soundtrack, great gameplay
Disadvantages: a weak storyline

...I had never played any of the Tomb Raiders, well in all honesty I tried Tomb Raider 3 but I just didn't like it. So when my other half bought an XBOX 360 that came with Tomb Raider: Legend I thought that I'd give it a go. I fell in love with it. Now, I myself an more a PlayStation person and found out that they were remaking the original Tomb Raider I actually got a little excited! All because I have enjoyed Legend so much. I got all excited when Anniversary was released, I bought my collectors edition and as soon as I got home, the game was in my PS2 and I had started Tomb Raider: Anniversary. I was not disappointed in any way! Anniversary is a game where you need to collect 3 artifacts from different locations for a wealthy lady who turns out to be an ancient power that wants to take over the world. Storyline: I didn't think... Read review

Advantages: Great graphics, Great story, Great game
Disadvantages: very short compared to other tombraider games

...---COST--- On the 360 this game is now around £40 - £50 which is a high price to pay for games now so the value for money in xbox 360 games is not usually that great. Unfortunately if you own an xbox 360 the normal xbox version of the game will not work on it so you will not save yourself money this way. If you shop for the game online you may be able to find it cheaper than in shops. ---GRAPHICS--- The graphics on tomb raider legends are excellent and the game looks great. The background scenery and objects are very detailed and smooth and are quite impressive, even on the standard Xbox version of the game. ---SOUND--- The game sounds are also excellent and the in game music adds drama to the game even if it isnt that noticable. The sound effects are well made and sound very realistic so it gives the game a realistic feel to it too... Read review

Advantages: its lara croft it can't be bad
Disadvantages: it is a bit hard at times

...Tomb raider anniversary is a very good game with brilliant graphics for a playstaton2 game (Xbox 360 standard) the game is very user friendly and is easy to learn all of the moves to kill the “baddies”which include 50 foot dinasaws, apes, wolves, lions and many more. The game takes you through lots of different places to find what she is looking for. she has lots of cool moves to escape from the people you are fighting, theres even slow motion which helps you dodge the attckers. her skills develop throughout the game as she unlocks new wepons and you start to get used to the moves. The game is very addictive as it makes you think where to go and what to do next. I would not say the game is completely original but lots of new extras have been added to the original games. The 3D graphics are excellent and move quickly... Read review
