DESCRIPTION

The female equivalent of Indiana Jones returns for a special encore performance in this enhanced update of 1996's Tomb Raider, which made Lara Croft a household name and the object of affection for prepubescent boys across the globe. To commemorate Croft's ten-plus years as an influential video game heroine, this anniversary edition of Tomb Raider features all of the levels, enemies, and puzzles from the award-winning original, but with the advanced graphics engine introduced in 2006's Tomb Raider: Legend.

The play mechanics have also changed to a degree, as the lovely Lara can use a grappling gun to help traverse some of the more precarious ledges, statues, and caverns found throughout the exotic locales of Peru, Greece, Egypt, and Atlantis. Familiar enemies such as crocodiles, wolves, and bears now feature improved artificial intelligence and behavior routines, offering a new challenge to pistol-packing pathfinders. Also included are a number of unlockable extras, ranging from alternate costumes to a commentary track by Tomb Raider's lead designer, Toby Gard. Tomb Raider Anniversary for Xbox 360 is available as a retail package or as a series of downloads via Xbox Live. The latter requires ownership of Tomb Raider: Legend as a prerequisite. ~ Scott Alan Marriott, All Game Guide

“Takes me back to the early days of the original PlayStation. A good effort but things seem smaller in scope to the PS1 original......”

“I have been playing this series since the first one. This series never gets old for me. Lara just gets hotter and hotter with each release. This one is a must-own if you are into this series. One of the top 3 favorites of the series so far. BUY IT!”

“Figure that I should really try getting through these games, as they've been around forever. I played a little bit of Legend when it came out, and I just loved it. So I figured sure, why not play...”

“A great addition to the Legend. I haven't played the original game, but this one was fun, if sometimes way too long and tedious in parts.”

Tomb Raider Anniversary (X360) by: Hengst21977

“Despite a sometimes sluggish frame rate, this game is a solid remake of the original Tomb Raider game and really the first part of the Tomb Raider Legends trilogy of games. Explore the globe, solve puzzles and save the world, a solid title all around”

“I really think Crystal Dynamics did a great job remaking this game and tying it in with Legend and Underworld.”

“I love what Crystal Dynamics did with this series. Although it sounds like with the lackluster sales of Underworld that Eidos may be looking to change up Tomb Raider yet again.”

“I got TRA, but want to play through the original TR again first. I played all the way through Legend though, which is mostly the same gameplay-wise, and I agree with mykal. I just love this genre, exploring fantastical places, ancient ruins, finding interesting loot.

I understand Underworld (which I'll play once I finished TRA) did OK, just not as well as they'd hoped. I don't know what to think about doing another reboot though.

By the way, you are "supposed to" (read: you can) add to the original message by pressing the round button with the pencil. That way it'll appear inside the grey box. Comments can come after that.”

“I need to sign myself up for a game rental service or something. There seem to be so many games I'm coming across that I want to play or at least try, but not buy. Like this...cause I remember watching my brother play this game a ton (and myself a little as well) and all I recall is it being a fun a game. Mostly of a lot of really difficult obstacles and such.”

“I have had great luck with Gamefly so far. I have the 3 game plan, which keeps me plenty busy between major purchases. Which reminds me, I was going to put Afro Samurai on my list.”

“Haha, yea, Afro Samurai is one I definitely want to try. I'll probably check into GameFly within the next month.”

“This game was a wonderful adaptation of the original TR1 story I grew up with in PS1 and pC. Even the troublesome game control is better, but still not much. At least playing this version, I have an idea about what to do...the original versions.”
