Tomb Raider Anniversary

While flicking through a UK PS2 magazine I was stunned to find a four page spread on a new Tomb Raider game! Tomb Raider Anniversary is a remake of the first game using the Legends engine with brand new puzzles and paths, but the same basic levels and plot points that the original game features. It looks amazing. I threw in my copy of Tomb Raider and had a play and it’s so blocky and Lara’s so slow and everything’s in caverns as they hadn’t worked out sky, and then I look at the screen caps and preview video and it doesn’t look like the same game at all. I’d be really happy if they remade the second game too as I was always a bit disappointed with that one. Number three and four are still fantastic today (but I’d buy remakes of them too!) It’s due out first quarter of this year but given the delays Legends has I expect another month or two on top of that. I can’t wait.
