It worked for me. It is a little shortened, but otherwise the levels have a gorgeous makeover, and the epic awe inspiring chorus soundtrack makes everything really beautiful. Plus they actually fixed the names of the greek gods in the tower room in greece which is a big plus for me. I'd like them to eventually remake the second and third games too, as long as they don't fuck it up.
Nutty Croft One example is that they combined what were two levels in the first game, Tomb of Tihocan, and The Cistern into one big level. It's still a really awesome level though. Most of the shorter gameplay comes from just the fact that the controls are really improved over the original. It simple takes less time to do what you need to, but in it's place they put in all sorts of really cool new puzzles and acrobatic action.
Guys, back then they made Tomb Raider with the little 3d they knew. Now, they could really design it the way they really wanted it to be. I love this version over the original only because it didn't take so long. I remember being stuck in Puru for days back then.
Maybe it's just me but I think this is one of the best games ever made. The platforming is fun and the puzzles are some of the best of any game, it's awesome seeing huge parts of the environment shifting and moving around when doing some of them. There's also tons and tons of neat little things you can unlock that developers today would NEVER put into a game, and if they did you'd have to buy them as DLC.
PS3 never got its own version of Tomb Raider Anniversary or Legend built for the system. However, the PS2 versions which they upscaled to HD, gave trophy support and changed the controls for the PS3 (which would be the same as PS2's anyway) is in The Tomb Raider Trilogy (which has HD versions of Anniversary and Legend as well as Underworld all on one disc with exclusive content and a free PS3 theme). I bought it about 8 months ago brand new for 17 bucks. Basically a steal.
No. Anniversary and Legend are two different games. It's just that the versions in the trilogy collection are just HD upscaled PS2 versions with altered controls and trophy support. But yes, you have trilogy so you already have Anniversay.
This game is simply amazing. I love the commentary you can unlock. I wish more games did that, plus this game has a ton of replay value, and they really expended the mansion from the 1st game.
Tomb Raider Anniversary is one of my absolute favorite TR games. (The first being the original, of course :D) It wasn't as amazing as the original, but it was a nice combination of the new and the old. I would have preferred them go a bit closer to the original atmosphere wise, but it was a big step up after legend so I was just really glad that it turned out as good as it did.
This game brings me back memories of when I played the original one in 1996!! Ive loved TB since then... This game is great but it is not greater than the original, the original is longer and harder. It doesnt have a lot of light effects because its not supposed to be dark in any away! In the original Lara didnt have any flashlights...if you had played it u would know that...love uuuu lara! You rock!!!
The 360 and PC versions are full retail releases so I imagine the PS3 one is. I think there was a bundle along with Legend and Underworld released for PS3
I don't see why people are complaining about the graphics, so what if it's not HD, it looks amazing in my opinion. I wish the second one got a remake too.
You know what would be awesome? Uncharted having a crossover with Tomb Raider, with quick gameplay changing between Nethan Drake & Lara Croft. Like if you want that to happen
The worst thing about this game is the fact that they changed the last huge boss from freakishly scary from the first original game, to ridiculously tame looking. -_-
This remake didn't do anything for me. I quit playing it about a third of the way through and just played the original instead. The Tomb Raider games from Legend to Underworld completely lacked the atmosphere and feelings of isolation that the original games had. They just felt like average modern action adventure games. I did enjoy the most recent Tomb Raider game (but for completely different reasons).
