Very good, to where I have seen it has enchanted to me! I have not advanced much even, but the graphical aspect is very well elaborated and the game system is quite simple.

Man, theres nothing like a good Tomb Raider game, well, mabey the Prince of Persia, both are made incredibly simular. Edios anin't fooling around with Lara like those other dudes did. They gave her a makeover, took her back to her roots and put in some Prince of Persia platforming into it.

Anniversary is just a remix of the origonal Tomb Raider, they got the same puzzels(all those greek gods in St. Francis Folly), put some cornerstone fights in it(the T-Rex), remade Lara, she's so fine, and put a fresh coat of paint on the enviroment. But don't worry, there's new stuff, plenty of platforming that they obviolously were inspiered by Ubisoft and there Prince of Perisa. They got those Resident Evil 4 cutsences, that when your watching a cutsceen, then Lara does an action, you press the button or she dies in the sceen.

There's no one who I can think of who wouldn't like this game, it's got something for everybody. Very nice Edios, very nice

I loved this game until I entered the second level and there was a bug preventing me from jumping onto a rather close ledge, the game rocked until this point, if anyone knows the bug I am talking about in the second level and knows how to get passed this jump, please let me know, until then this game gets a 1 star because there is no zero, it would have been a perfect ten but the bug prevents me from progressing on my PS2

HELP ME PLEASE!!

I LOVE this game!

Have you ever had dejavou? That feeling you get every once in a while when you feel like you've been through a moment or place before, but you know its really the first time? That's what I felt like when I began playing this game. It is NOT a mere rehash of the original. It is just different enough to make you think "I've been here before...... but not really". There are a few things I miss about the old game, and a few things I don't like as much with this one, but all in all I thought it was excellent. For the most part, the differences make it better. I found one of the most fun aspects of this game was anticipating getting into each next level to see how it would differ. St. Francis Folly for example, it looks very similar to the original version, yet, its very different in terms of how you do things. The puzzles in the rooms have been changed so don't think you know what to expect. The themes are the same, "Atlas" is still the world, "Posideon" is the water, etc. but the challenges are new. Lara looks great and even the Croft Manor has gotten some new surprises and a face lift. Worth every penny of the full price and then some.

PS: I thought I should mention one complaint. Some of the enemies and puzzles are so hard that its frustrating. Even on easy! I can't even imagine playing this on difficult! There are a few times you might find this game too challenging. Fair warning.

I have always been a fan of The Tomb Raider games and this one is no exception; it is an updated version of the first Tomb Raider and it brought back memories of when I, we, (we play as a family on Tomb Raider games) first played and we laughed and talked about what was diffferent and was able to reference back to game one in order to make it through the levels, its alot of fun and I would recommend it to Tomb Raider fans and first time Tomb Raider players.

A fitting tribute to the original

I will say this and only this: If you liked the original Tomb Raider ,circa 1996, you will like the Anniversary edition. Same storyline, better graphics, a few more tools, new game-play elements and the ever sexy Lara Croft help to make this a very enjoyable game to play through "again." I actually never played Tomb Raider Legends which Anniversary borrows the engine and control scheme from, but it didn't take long for me to get used to the controls and remember how much fun it was to guide Lara through the game. Great game and I can hope that this is not the last time we see Ms. Croft.

The perfect balance: All that's best about Tomb Raider is in this game

Those of us who have played the best--No. IV in my opinion--and worst--Angel of Darkness--of Tomb Raider know that they've done it all. They've given us richer environments, more moves, better equipment, made it stupid easy in Legend, and driven us to near madness. I, who barely watched TV until I graduated from college, have found myself suddenly at sunrise on a Saturday having played Tomb Raider all night long.

This is the best there is, challenging but not too difficult; playable but not childishly simple. Legend was technologically great, but too simple to play, and I'm glad that the designers saw fit to make this Anniversary edition more game and less plain dumb entertainment as many shoot-em-up games are these days.

Why bother even mentioning the graphics or 'the engine' or any of the other techno-babble. We know what computers can do. This is about design, and in this case about puzzle design--which in this case is absolutely brilliant.

I imagine they could have gone a bit further, made it more of a challenge, but held back for the sake of playability by the general player--yet without dumbing it down so much that people who know the series would be disappointed or unimpressed.

The Journal was also a nice touch, far better than the PDA. I was also glad that I could, once again, carry multiple types of weapons--where in Anniversary I couldn't.

I did kind of miss having grenades, flares, and especially some kind of binoculars.

CON: The only real con, they need to bring back story-line. I also miss non-essential but hinting information being literally carved into the walls in some scenes. Tomb Raider is a mystery, so bring on the mystery. It has to more than flavor the action, story line has to be part of the game itself.

BOTTOM LINE: Wonderful. Bring on the next one!

fun!

My copy of the game arrived this week and I ordered it last week, these guys are fast at shipping. Anyways, if you like zelda games, resident evil games, and specially prince of persia; then you'll love this one.

This game is more about solving puzzles than defeating enemies. You have to figure out what to do and where to go. I still haven't finish it because I've been doing other stuff, but I really like. I think there was another game for the N64 that looked just like this one, but never finished it. This might be the first Tomb Raider game that I've played and liked.

Some puzzles are easy while others are tough to figure out. The enemies aren't that tough, and I love when I lost balance and Lara falls off from high grounds and die. The gameplay is easy to master if you have the tutorial on. The graphics are great considering it's for a ps2 system. I strongly recommend you to play this game, it really worths it.

Buying this Game is a "No-Brainer", Add this to your Collection

Aside from a few quirky bugs, where Laura sinks through the floor, or is stuck or hovering in thin air....The rest is all good. And I got to hand it to Sony too...The PS2 is the little engine that could lately, still churning out great graphics after all these years.
Laura is at her best in this game. Very impressive backgrounds, great bosses (My daughter now beats the T-Rex for fun) and simple but challenging enough puzzles to solve. This game is a great combination of Puzzles and fighting, only surpassed by Prince of Persia.
for $29.99, you should have no trouble deciding if you should buy or not...its a deal!
Have fun..and if your stuck, there is a wealth of Knowlage out there on the net giving you hits and screenshots...(But only use them if you are 100% stuck. It cheapens the game if you don't use your own imagination and wit.)
I would reccomend this for anyone who needs to build hand eye coordination (as some of us middle-age or seniors should.)
Gaming will definately help keep you sharp! So buy a PS2 and take home Laura today!

Great Game!

This game is really good! The game imho is one of the best Tomb Raider Games so far. If you really like the original Tomb Raider game then you should probably like this game too. Lots of Fun!!
