Editorial Review: Amazon.co.uk Preview: 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. 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 Manufacturer's Description:: 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.

 Rating: - A credit to the PSPThe PS2 game, following the resurrection of Lara that was Legend, beautifully updated the Tomb Raider series and created an excellent platforming and puzzling game. The PSP version is a direct port and as such adds nothing new, but if you haven't owned the other versions then this is an absorbing and fantastic platforming experience. If you think of it as an exact copy of the original Tomb Raider on PS1, but with better graphics, hugely extended levels and far better gameplay. This is one of the best platformers on PS2, and it transports itself to be easily one of the best on PSP. It has fantastic graphics, typically excellent puzzles and great platforming gameplay that we've come to expect from this series. I have ... Read More: Rating: - Another TR winner for the PSPThe PSP is made for the Tomb Raider series of games. The quick interplay, and graphics, are simply a dream and the game flows well. I was impressed with TR Legend and wondered what Anniversary would be like. I shouldn't have worried, it performed superbly. One are, for me, where Anniversary lacks is in terms of interaction with vehicles etc , but as this virtually an updated version of the very first TR that I played on PS1 on those years ago I'm not complaining. Please, please, please can we have a new Tomb Raideron PSP soon? Rating: - Raid your wallet because you gotta buy this!A must have for all T.R fans will keep you entertained for hours.Lara is better than ever and this game has brilliant adventures, twists and turns. I agree graphics on psp are great. Just completed and part with a T-rex in it absolutely fantastic! can't wait to see what else is in store for me! Rating: - It's finally here, and it's better than Legend!Okay. Where do I start? I played the original Playstation Tomb Raider to death back in 1997. While I bought a couple of the sequels I never really got into them in the same way as the original. I never really bothered with the PS2 only Tomb Raider games, either. When I bought a PSP, I got Legen with it, and I really enjoy it, though I found that the tendency of the game to produce odd camera angles did detract somehwat from the gameplay. I've been waiting for this since March, and even bought the PS2 version (excellent) to keep me occupied while the PSP version arrived. And it's finally here! The way they have kept the feel of the original levels with updated puzzles and better graphics is excellent. The big difference with Legend... is that the ... Read More: Rating: - awesome game:Tomb Raider Anniversary is awesome. I didn't expect that it would be that good on the PSP but i was very wrong. The graphics are some of the best yet seen on the PSP, the gameplay and controls are easy to use after the first "tutorial" level, and the lifespan is long too. (It took me around 12 hours to complete the game, and an additional 2 hours to complete the Croft Mansion, and after i did all that, i went though the game again to explore all the secrets and areas that i had missed out.) In my opinion, the enviroments explored in the game are the best part; Jungles looks realistic and are covered in foilage, Desert monuments are covered in detail, and the rest of the game is packed with attention to detail. My only negative comments ... Read More: |
