  • Summary: Inspired by the first Tomb Raider videogame, originally released in 1996, Lara Croft Tomb Raider: Anniversary is a totally new 2006 adventure for Lara, faithfully preserving the elements which made the original Tomb Raider 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 up to today’s technology standards and offer gamers a completely new gameplay experience. The puzzles are now more in depth and incorporate environmental interaction and physics driven solutions. The level design and flow of gameplay are inspired by the original videogame making Lara Croft Tomb Raider: Anniversary a brand new experience in gaming, while still invoking the nostalgia of the first adventure in Tomb Raiding.

  1. It's nice to relive the past, but it's a lot nicer when you discover that things are even better than you thought they were.
  2. One of the best adventures you'll play on PSP. It's uniquely brilliant and classic Tomb Raider! [Aug 2007, p.82]
  3. A near-essential addition to PSP's library. [Aug 2007, p.79]
  4. A damn good remake of a damn good game.

    We all know that Tomb Raider Legend on PSP was a disaster. However, Anniversary vastly improves upon the previous instalment's bad controls, bad camera and low framerate. This version is just as brilliant as the other versions. Nice graphics and gameplay make for and enjoyable playthrough. Expand
  2. A surprisingly good version of Tomb Raider Anniversary. Great graphics, Controls. No slowdown, I recommend it to people who want a fantastic 3D platformer for the PSP. :D Expand
