Tomb Raider Anniversary (PlayStation 2, 2007)

The game is a remake of the original Tomb Raider, but with a few changes to the story, events, puzzles, and level designs. I won't spoil anything here for those of you who haven't ever played the original, but I will say that even for veterans of the original game, this is a must-play.

The first hing you'll notice upon starting the game, is the graphics. These are as great as anything you'll find on the PS2, and rivals the graphics of even games like God of War. The detailing on the environments is simply superb, as are the lighting and shadow effects. You'll find yourself simply stopping to admire the gorgeous level designs every so often over the course of the game. And of course, Lara looks as good as ever. Everything on her in-game model is meticulously done, all the way down to small details like her eyelashes and the treads of her boots. Her skin and clothing will actually appear wet upon leaving a pool of water, and will slowly dry over time.

Outside of a few camera issues, this game is the total Tomb Raider package. Great gameplay, tight controls, challenging boss battles, brain-breaking puzzles, and awe-inspiring graphics make Lara's first adventure her finest yet. A must buy for fans of Tomb Raider, adventure lovers, and just gamers in general.

I wanted this game because i loved tomb raider 1 through 3 on my old playstation years ago and i just picked up a silver ps2 slim recently and heard good things about this latest game and wanted to relive the fun i had with the old games and i was not dissapointed.this game has all the adventure and puzzle solving i remember only with alot better graphics,its actually easier to play than the old games because its alot easier to make out things with the better graphics.only thing i didnt like was that although these games are about the puzzle solving i wish there was a wider variety of animals to shoot instead of just the same thing over and over but its a great game and you never get bored.hopefully they will continue making tomb raider games like this one for the ps3 in the future.

Remake of the 1997 original, with added levels to keep TR veterans like me on their toes.  Better graphics too, of course.  ;)

Oh my goodness!! This game is crazy. Lara still moves higher than PS2 standards. All the great graphics and effects from TRL plus cool, new moves and a lengthy game. What more could one ask for.
Inventory:
Grapple (hook)
Dual pistols
Shotgun
Lara uses her grapple hook now to swing or wall run. Wall run is where a character runs horizontally across a wall. Lara can also now perch like a bird on top of narrow colums and swing on poles like a true gymnast. She has all the dirt and water effects on her body still. She sports her classsic blue shirt & tan shorts. This game is long but not too long which I love. Interactive cutscenes have been added throughout the game where the player is simultaneously watching a cutscene and pressing buttons to control her actions eventually saving Lara's life. Since this is a remake of TR1 Lara has less and more primative equippment so it feels like a prequal. LOve this one difintitely get it.

Absolutely beautiful is the only way I can describe Lara Croft and this incredible game.

Being a big fan of the original Tomb Raider, I was just blown away by how perfect Anniversary is. This game blends the spirit and fun of the original game with incredible new puzzles and mechanics. It is the perfect homage to that great game which practically invented the 3rd person action-adventure game.

Controlling Lara is as simple as it needs to be and still allows you to do many awesome moves. You explore the same worlds as in the original but with many new surprises and puzzles and secrets to keep you on your toes.

New and old players alike will love this game.

I bought this game with low expectations...boy, was I suprised. Fun to play...easy to control....best Tomb Raider game since Tomb Raider 1. Hard to pull yourself away from the game. I recommend this game to all that love the Tomb Raider adventures.

This game was amazing, and the graphics are breathtaking. If you have played the Original Tomb Raider then you should pick up a copy of Anniversary. It was great how they changed the levels and make them alittle tougher. And I thought this Tomb Raider was alot harder than the Original. The only thing I hate about Anniversary is the controls I HATE IT !!!!. I'm so used to hold the X button while on a ledge on this one you have to hold R2. But other than this game is great. Better than Legend and a helluva lot better than Angel Of Darkness. But still it ain't no better than the Original. I just hope they don't remake Tomb Raider 2 or any other Tomb Raiders.

This game is one of the best tomb raider games ever, and I have played all of them several times. The product was in new condition, and worked good.

Thanks

This was an excellent game game, very well created. Very fun to play, and not too easy, not too hard.

I liked the game compared to some of the other Tomb Raiders but when you have to shoot something for it to fall down the aim on it doesn't go away. This then makes you aim on the target rather then the flying thing killing you. Overall though I loved how a lot of the old scenes were redone, I felt like I was playing the first game again, but with way better graphics.

I bought Tomb Raider Anniversary thinking it was going to be an average game. I was wrong. This game brings back the feel of the original games while enhancing the gamer's experience with the new graphics and effects. I was immediately hooked and couldn't stop playing. This game is Tomb Raider fan "must have".

This is truly must have for any Tomb Raider fan.The game is extremly interesting and fun.It gives you some interesanting ways how to play it and you can return to it many times after you have played it for the first time.The graphics has been improved and all the little things that are so important for the ultimate pleasure of playing it.

Great concept - rework an old game using newer (better) technology. Not quite the same game as the first, but better. There are scenes I remember from the original game, but there is much more detail and much better control for Lara. If you liked the first one, you'll love this one.

If you played the original Tomb Raider on the Playstation, you already know that it was a great game. If you haven't played it, then you will still love this new, updated version. The graphics and controls are so much smoother, it just makes the game a very enjoyable experience. This is probably still my favorite Tomb Raider of the series. I think it is well worth the money, and is a must have for any PS2 collection.

I'm a TOMB RAIDER FAN, but not a fan of prices. This was very affordable for me and my family. We all play, even my 8yr old. Its hard to find games for the whole family anymore and we love looking in ebay for what we want. The seller is very truthful and the game plays great.The pakaging was excellent and it got to me very fast. I'll recamend this seller to anyone. Adelita

Remake is Awesome, Boss fights are great, new puzzles and combat system is cool with the slowing down for head shot

Possibly the best in the Tomb Raider line up. Lara has more skills and abilities in this game than any of the previous. Great playability with increasing difficulty at just the right speed. Great puzzles that make use of Lara's talents. Also, great graphics for a Playstation 2 game. 9 out of 10

I was once a fan of the original series however with each new game that came out I got to dislike the series game play for what it used to be and became instead frustrated greatly with it.(Glitches galore) Not only has the game play been downplay but also the story and the locations. (No more tomb raiding) While this game still has it frustration it is incredibly enjoyable. As a fan of the old tombraider games (1,2 and 3) and a fan of the current games (legend and anniversary) I got to really liken what they did in this remake. It is totally worth the time to play for anybody due to the ease of the gameplay (smooth animations and incredible boots in graphics) without incredible frustration. (Camera still gives a bit of problem but what the hell the game is still fun) It is a bit easier then the original and the extras are not that great but it gives hope that further installments will be better. Hopefully.

When I purchased the Anniversary edition I was expecting to be blowen away, just like I was with all the other Tomb Raider games prior to this one and I wasn't dissapointed. The graphics are great and it's hard to put the game away once you get started. I like all the features of the game and look forward to the next edition if there is one....
