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!
Inspired by the original Tomb Raider video game; 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.

Brilliant game, loved it as much as the original
Great remake of the original Tomb Raider Game, thoroughly enjoyable, though sometimes the jumps and catches can be a bit glitchy. If your a fan you owe it to yourself to play this, if not, its a good introduction if you want to see the first game without the dated graphics
If you like the kind of game that harks back to those of yesteryear then definitely give this a go. Certainly not for everyone though as it can be VERY unforgiving. Challenging nontheless :)
Great fun with amazing set pieces ... BUT ... bugged all to hell and back. A few game killers, too. Had to send the game back after losing all my progress in a level when Lara fell in a hole (closely followed by a huge metal globe) but didn't die. That was the Atlas room in the Francis Folly level. Worth renting if you're luckier than I am (all the game killer glitches seem to pick on me...). Quite a way from being a next-gen title, though.
