Excellent Reviews for Tomb Raider: Anniversary!
Posted: Dec 07, 2007
If you take one of the best-loved franchises in gaming, break it down and rebuild the best parts, what do you get? A
four-way, multi-platform success! Buzz Monkey and Crystal Dynamics are at it again!
- Sony PS2 — 90% at EuroGamer
"It takes the inspirational level design of the original, improves upon the
atmosphere, and makes the whole thing so much more fun thanks to the hugely
refined control and camera system. Far from being a tired, cynical cash-in
exercise of a brand past its prime, Tomb Raider Anniversary goes back to its
roots and shows how remakes should be done."
- Sony PS2 — 85% at 1UP
"It may not offer the same degree of wonder you may remember if you were
around for the very first game, but it's a damn fine homage — and a damn fine
game in its own right."
- Sony PSP — 84% at Jolt Online Gaming UK
"a visual and aural feast, with epic-feeling environments for you to
acrobatically traverse and orchestral music that sweeps you up at just the
right moment"
- Sony PSP — 80% at Games Radar
"Exploring is the best it's ever been in the series, thanks to Lara's
slick animation. Swinging, leaping and climbing from ledge to outcrop to
wherever are tense but satisfying, and the frequent checkpoints mean you're
free to try to make that lethal jump without having to do the whole section
again."
- Xbox 360 — 90% at GameDaily
"With slick graphics, beautiful level design and of course, the puzzles
and action that first captivated us completely, Anniversary lives up to the
name of Lara Croft."
- Xbox 360 — 83% at Ferrago
"This is retro gaming as it should be, other developers please take note!"
- Nintendo Wii — 90% at Official Nintendo Magazine UK
"Anniversary is the best game in the series by far." Christmas 2007, p.72
- Nintendo Wii — 80% at Pro-G
"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."
