Summary

Developer:
Publisher:: Eidos

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 which 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.

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.

Celebrate and commemorate ten years of Tomb Raider and Lara Croft with Tomb Raider: Anniversary, an entirely new gameplay experience inspired by the first ever Tomb Raider adventure. Tomb Raider: Anniversary uses an enhanced version of the Tomb Raider: Legend game engine to apply Crystal Dynamic’s latest PS2 technology.
Play the living Lara Croft, the world’s greatest action heroine of all time – use all of Lara's guile, athleticism and gadgets in her quest to conquer the unknown and uncover ancient artefacts.
Includes classic environments from the original Tomb Raider as never experienced before - Crystal Dynamics latest technology allows you to fluidly manoeuvre Lara using her latest moves and gear, through all the worlds from the original; Peru, Greece, Egypt and more. The dynamic world allows multiple playthrough options and also opens up new places and ways to explore. Crystal’s latest technology allows the environments to take on a breath taking new quality.
Explore uncharted and mysterious worlds - enter into strange, undiscovered lands and solve their deepest, darkest mysteries, open doors to new realms, uncover great rewards and unearth secrets to Lara’s past.
Startling enemy encounters - encounter fierce animal and supernatural enemies, wolves, bears, crocodiles, horrific monsters and the T Rex. New and improved AI means that all enemies will exhibit a more diverse behaviour set, providing improved combat challenges for the player.

Tomb Raider series has always been a favourite for me so when this was released on Wii I had to have it. its a excellent game but as with others here I found the controls tricky to begin with, but more frustrating was the constant adjusting of the camera angle. fine when your just exploring and climbing around, but i keep finding myself trying to fight off enemies and suddenly the scenery is obscuring the action Lara's snagged on part of the background by the time you rotate the camera to see enemies have closed in on her.
On a positive note it is an excellent game for the Wii and on the most part fun to play and the story is entertaining if I would recommend this game as a must play as the Wii control system brings something extra to the experience.
If your looking at getting this game consider Zelda Twilight Princess probably the best game of this type on the Wii

The original Tomb Raider was among the first games I got with my original PlayStation years and years ago. After playing the first few, and then watching the franchise go downhill as better titles came along, I had given up hope for Miss Croft. After picking up Tomb Raider: Legend and falling in love with its Prince of Persia inspired gameplay, I couldn't hide my excitement when it was announced that a sort of remake of the original title was being done, but using the new engine. I wondered if the original would hold up by today's standards, and more importantly, if the title would work as well using the Legend engine. Most importantly though was how well the game would carry over to the uniqueness of the Wii console itself.

The game is spent exploring tombs in order to find an artifact and defeat the evil group trying to get to it before you. The story isn't very fleshed out, and frankly isn't important here. The real story is that of exploration: Finding your way around the variou

The camera angle was quite annoying - 5/10

Great graphics and a good length of game. Still got the logic puzzles and the wii control is incorporated extremely well. The tool-kit adds a great little extra to the game and combat is really fun with the wii control. I might have a different opinion to all the other gamers as i am a 15 year old girl but i didnt find the camera angles annoying and thoroughly enjoyed the game. Especially when I had to help my dad get passed the monkey boss halfway through the Lost Island Level. Great fun but sometimes it got quite difficult and i had to use a walkthrough to help me get passed confusing bits when both my dad and i were completley stumped.

Well worth buying it I reckon =)

On purchasing the Wii I told someone I wanted every game to be released on it,because it was really fun the way the games correspond with the remote and nunchuck. After hearing about the release of TR:A on it I was a bit skeptical though. TR didn't seem like the right title to head to this machine because it's always been a focus game with complicated controls,unless you're playing with the right pad.

I was a little dissapointed with the Ps2 release of this game already. However,this version has great extras, like the Adventure Tool Kit. These are tools you use to access new areas,which are exclusive to the Wii version alone,& the only time the Wii controls come in handy & kind've make up for the dodgy camera angling.

The camera angling is the worst thing about this game,really,well when you're not shooting at anything it goes all over the place,you need to use the remote to rotate it,which takes a bit of getting used to.

Doesn't entirely work on Wii. Joypad ftw!!
