It hasn't aged well, it's hard to recommend.

But, it's puzzles are enjoyable, the world and levels ARE interesting, combat when it happens at least is over quickly. But it's a little sluggish to play and I think really needs that nostalgia to get the most out of. Consider on special only.

Pretty fun, a great way to revitalize a classic. I'm embarrassed a little bit because I never played the original (but I hear this game is pretty close to it with a much better control system). Great fun with action and puzzle gameplay. Lots of fun story to get in here as well.

A great, classic action-adventure game filled with mystery and beauty. Being a complete fan of the series since I was a kid, this was a no-brainer to pick up. Pick it up if you like action-adventure type titles, beautiful environments, or just love yourself some beautiful girls. =P Pick it up. =]

If your like me and have enjoyed the Tomb Raider franchise while growing up, then this is certainly a must have game for you. Even if you have never played any Tomb Raider before, this is a very independant storyline and guides you greatly throughout the game, so you will never be lost or confused. The graphics are clean and detailed, and the gameplay is fast, fun and unique. My favourite part of this game, and all Tomb Raiders, is the problem solving, where you are truly challenged to find your way from one end of a tomb to the next, by using creative jumps, flips, rolls, sprints, shimmying ledges, rope jumps and more! Must have game for all ages.

This game is a remake of the first one with improvements in Lara's moves, game textures, game-play, scenery and lot more. Recommended, specially for Tomb Raider's fans

This game is for both those who grew up with Tomb Raider (such as myself) and for the newcomers to the series. It's easily one of the best (if not THE best) in the series, until hopefully the reboot steals the show.

The graphics are simply beautiful and the game play has been rehauled and refined to hone the best parts of the original, but retaining the identity that made the original so classic.

Thankfully the puzzle solving remains prevalent, and is both irritating and invigorating, and chops up the action sequences quite nicely.

Highly recommended!

I bought this game to try the Tomb Raider series and it exceeded my expectations. It's an addictive game that captures the essence of what Lara Croft's adventures are all about.

Tomb Raider is a puzzle-solving game that requires you to jump ledges, boxes and basically perform acrobatics to get to a switch, an item etc. The puzzles, obviously, get harder as the game progresses but the learning curve is pretty smooth so you'll be ready for the more difficult parts. The puzzles do get frustrating at times but overall they're enjoyable, very rewarding and solving them doesn't get boring.

The other gameplay element is combat which is quite decent. It's not the main focus of the game so it's not perfect but once you get used to the controls and learn some advanced moves (namely the 'Adrenaline dodge' that works just like bullet time) it gets fun and serves as a nice break from solving the puzzles.

The graphics and sound are very good, levels are pleasant to look at and Lara's animations are well done and natural. There are even some actions that serve no purpose other than to look cool.

All in all, Tomb Raider Anniversary is a great game featuring classic gameplay refined to meet contemporary standards.

Tomb Raider Anniversary I feel was a long time coming. It brings together the time tested gameplay with next-gen graphics and sound. If you are a fan of Tomb Raider at all you owe it to yourself to pick this up and experience the original all over again. If you are new to the series this is definitely a must play as it shows off where it all got started.

Lara brings several new moves to the table along with the old acrobatics being smoothed out and easier to control than before. Combat has been upgraded to allow easier targeting of the enemies you do face. Cinematics have been vastly improved over the original and lend a better story element to the overall picture.

All in all I find this product to be a great example of updating a classic franchise and should be looked at by fans of the action/adventure drama. The only glaring flaws with the gameplay are those that may have existed in the orignal release. None of these detract from the overall experience.

I whole heartedly recommend this to anyone looking for something a little more thought provoking from this genre or anyone with an interest in the Tomb Raider franchise on the whole.

I've had the first Tomb Raider for PC for more than 10 years and I never really got into it, it just seemed awkward to play and I couldn't understand why everyone was so thrilled about the Tomb Raider series. Then they released this remake and so I decided to give it a second try. How I was mistaken, the series does have its good points and this remakes made me like it, it seems a lot smoother than the original and with great graphics. It's well worth it!

Excellent, excellent game. I do not like remakes, but I make a big exception for this one - as far as 'realistic' 3D action platforming goes, it's pretty much genre perfection. It's beautiful, it's atmospheric, it's memorable, and it pays great tribute to the original. I'll admit there are some frustrating moments; the combat is still rubbish and the QTE cutscenes are totally unnecessary - but the game still earns its 5. Maybe not a perfect 5 (let's call it 4.6), but damn close.
