It could've been more appropriate if it was for PS3

I tried the demo and I'm impressed! I think they used TR Legend graphic engine so it wasn't probably that hard to remake it. But I think they should have waited and optimized it exclusively for PS3. By using PS3's raw power, it could've been better IMHO. If you are fan of the series, do not miss this!
WOW!

I loved this game and I am still playing it. I was really disappointed that the first TR was so hard to use with a newer pc, so I was delighted when this version came out and it is awesome! The graphics are off-the-hook.
I hope that if any of you other game vreators are reading reviews you take the hint, like duke nukem....AHEM....

i had a tough time with anniversary, i played legends before it and there was a lot of conversations in tr legends, in anniversary i thought it was a glitch but no talking at all. she didnt commucate with a sole. that upset me a bit. i will admit i needed a walkthrough for this as i was missing all my artifacts and prizes. They were really hidden and without one i wouldnt have found any. But once i got the walkthrough it didnt make getting them any easier just let me know what direction to go. A lot of climbing and grappling, The creatures she fought were rather easy, the hard part was a lot of the test were timed and seem immpossible to do but of course there do able. You did do them over a lot but the save spots made it bearable. It was sort of a Black and White with some color in it. But very hard to see where your next jump or hand hold was. I liked it but it fustrated me a lot. i would scream at laura "What are you doing" of course i felt stupid. im told its a remake of the original which ive not played. The Boss fights were rough, Again a walkthrough told me what i was doing wrong and it still took forever to get it right. This is a challange worthy of a fps and adventure game. Just takes getting used to.

Lara went back to her old journey, but with the new apperance. If you have ever played Tomb Raider I, this may be a must. Few games like this.
Tomb Raider at its best!

Everything in this phenomenal game is great! The heroine (of course), the level design, the music, the atmosphere, the graphics, etc.
It's so fun to play and so addictive to repeat and play all over again. You are in a thrilling adventure to find the Scion of Atlantis and you get to visit some cool locations such as Peru, Greece, Egypt and... ATLANTIS! such a fantastic game...
Lara Croft certainly looks great after 10 years of non-stop tomb raiding and this TR at its best! Definitely an A+ game for the whole family to enjoy.

Compared to plenty of the action games out there, Tomb Raider Anniversary has a lot to offer. You explore the lush scenery of Peru, navigate Greek ruins, and even visit Egyptian tombs. But it is definitely one of the more difficult games available. Even in the beginnning Mountain Caves stage, there are really difficult jumps, climbs, and grapple-swings that have to be mastered, and they only get more challenging as you go along. For example, in St. Francis's Folly, it was quite difficult to get to the four switches and doors, and then get the keys, because of some of these jumps and climbs. In other words, it's not exactly the game to start out with for new gamers. However, if you can get all the moves down, there is a boatload of exploring and relic collecting.
Good, but not Great

Anniversary is a good game, but not as good as Tomb Raider Legend. The controls are more difficult then Legend which made the game a bit more challenging and confusing. I couldn't remember how to crouch, or drop to a lower ledge, etc. I have only been involved in one major battle- with the T-Rex. I tried many times to kill it but I just couldn't, I downloaded game saves to get me past. With that said, I'm not looking forward to encountering more big battles. Another thing that made the game challenging was that the levels I've been through are set in dark areas, I often got confused where to go and the darkness didn't help. I needed a walkthrough to help me complete what I've done so far. My last complaint- Wolves and dinosaurs would just run towards you unexpectedly, like they came out of nowhere, they were also somewhat challenging to kill. For the positives- great graphics, huge areas to explore and climb, puzzles to solve. Overall a good adventure game, but I found it to be a bit hard.
great game and great Grafics that make it worth playing and paying

Tomb Raider got me started in game play and been a fan since I stated, this game breaths new life in to the Lara and the price is not bad for all the fun you have with it, so pick it up and have fun

This game is excellent. The story is close enough to the first game so that the new players of Tombraider aren't missing anything while at the same time it is still challenging to ones that have played the first game and even vertrans to the Tombraider games. Although many of the controls have changed, which is a disssapointment, but the added abilities of Lara Croft make up for it. Another must in the Tombraider collection.
Fun and runs on modest hardware

I'm not a gamer, but kick back with the Tomb Raider series for fun. I have a modest non-gaming system with a low-end 3D card, and the frame rates are decent.
This game has the graphics of Legend with the much greater challenge of the classic series.
