Tomb Raider Anniversary (PlayStation 2, 2007)

Tomb Raider one is considerd one of the greastest games for the Playstation 1 when it was released in 1996. However with the jump to the playstation 2 Tomb Raider looked like it may have been getting on in years with the dissapointment of the Angel of Darkness. However recently with the help of Tomb Raider Legend the Tomb Raider franchise is back in action. So The Tomb Raider Anniversary is not just a remake of the orginal Tomb Raider its a complete reconstruction. All the things that made the orginal great are still hear like the Climatic battle with the T-Rex and the very diffucult but rewarding puzzels. Its graphics are also far superior to Legends and the enviroments are what we all remember from Tomb Raiders golden age. Peru, Greece, Egypt and Atlance are all hear but there are many differences to challenge even the veteran Tomb Raider player.

Like the Orignal you start of in Peru looking for the acient pieces of the Scion after retriving the first one you learn that maybe your employer may not be all she seems and set off to Greece to find the second Piece of the Scion and the to Egypt to find the third Scion fragment. Along the first three stages your battle raging dinosaurs dangerous wildlife including Lions, Crocodiles and Bears and in Egypt your face more mystical villians like mummies and mutants as well as battling rival Tomb Raiders along the way.

In the Final Stage set the Mythical Atlantis there you'll face off agianst Natla's hechmen the famous winged mutants centuras and then the final form of Natla her self. The game also hass some added features and the grapple from Legend also reappers but the Headset and P.D.A arnt to keep in with the orginal Tomb Raiders atmosphere. There is also a much largeer array of Weapons including the Famous duel Pistols, Duels Uzis and Duel Shotguns and the Duel Magnums. The game its self is also considerably longer than Legend almost three times the size.

Overall this game is great and not just a remake it is also a real challenge and really not for people who are new to the franchise becuase it will challenge the most skilled gamer. It is real fun to play and the orignal Atmosphere from the orignal Tomb Raider is present hear which is what a lot of over Tomb Raiders lacked.
