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. The Wii Remote & Nunchuck controllers allow Wii gamers to control Lara in brand new, unique ways. [Eidos Interactive]

Official Nintendo Magazine UK
Anniversary is the best game in the series by far. [Christmas 2007, p.72]
Play Magazine
This really is a special game for the truest fans. [Dec 2007, p.84]
Games Master UK
If you don't have access to the other console versions, this is well worth getting. [Jan 2007, p.61]
NGamer UK
Reworked, modernised but still definitely a retro experience, the original Tomb Raider proves there was substance behind all the hype. [Jan 2008, p.41]
VideoGamer
It makes the most of modern technology to bring a classic game world up to date, throws in simple but intuitive controls and doesn't rely on constant fire-fights to bring excitement.
GameZone
The Wii version of Tomb Raider Anniversary won’t pull in those who have already played the game on PS2 or Xbox 360. Everyone else, however, will be pleasantly surprised by the Wii remote implementation. This is one tomb that should be explored thoroughly.

It massively improves the original's gameplay. [Issue#17, p.80]
Game Chronicles
And even though the controls and camera provide ongoing problems through the entire game, you’ll eventually learn to adapt, or at least deal with them.

Tomb Raider: Anniversary is the perfect way to revisit Lara Croft. Instead of a remake, we've been given a remade version of her original adventure, bringing with it all the improvements that have been made to her character over the years, yet retaining the qualities that made us fall in love with her games in the first place.
Read Full Review >Da Gameboyz
With improved graphics, solid sound and pretty good gameplay, the new control and re-imagined levels make for a game that is much more superior from the original.
Read Full Review >Boomtown
It’s not a perfect port, however, but much like my breakfast this morning it’s still good enough to keep you planted on the sofa for a few hours and bask in its goodness.

The real lesson here is that if you can take out one of her twin sisters for this Anniversary date on another platform, then that's the route to go. Otherwise, while it remains a grand adventure, traveling by Wii makes it a bumpier ride.
Read Full Review >Digital Entertainment News
The game still provides a compelling adventure, albeit a frustrating one. The camera and aiming are deplorable, but after some time it is manageable.
Read Full Review >IGN
The Wii control additions really do add to the experience and the game looks pretty good, too. The end product is not exemplary, but it is a step in the right direction and it's also entertaining, particularly when you're jumping from ledge to ledge or swinging across chasms to the beat of moody music.
Read Full Review >Armchair Empire
Those expecting a more action heavy experience will feel a little let down, but as a puzzle heavy action game, Lara can more than hold her own.
Read Full Review >Nintendo Power
There are also framerate and hit-detection issues (both in catching ledges and in targeting enemies) that just shouldn't exist. [Holiday 2007, p.82]
Worth Playing
Tomb Raider: Anniversary is the video game equivalent of giving your old car a new paint job and a spoiler and claiming it's as good as new. The combination of the dated Tomb Raider areas, mixed with the uninspiring and boring Tomb Raider: Anniversary alone, feels like a patch job, and the addition of the Wii elements to the original versions of Tomb Raider: Anniversary only serves to increase the feeling that most of this game is just new elements stapled haphazardly onto a prettier version of a 10-year-old game.
Read Full Review >GamingExcellence
Tomb Raider Anniversary is still a great game. However, the Wii version is by far the worst version of that great game
Read Full Review >GameSpy
In many ways, the controls are dead-on, but the awkward shooting controls hamstring the action.
Read Full Review >GameDaily
Now that it has moved to the Wii, however, Tomb Raider: Anniversary's magic has been lost due to crappy waggle controls. Although some of the Wii exclusive puzzles are mildly enjoyable, aiming and shaking the nunchuck leads to imprecise movements and lots of headaches.

If you haven't played the PC, PS2 or Xbox 360 versions, do. They're brilliant. This isn't.

Mister D. gave it an8:
This is a GREAT Wii game! The adventure is a decent length and there are loads of secrets to be found. Croft Manor looks great with it's own adventure and mysteries to be discovered. The unlockable content and time-trial modes add plenty of replayability!
