![]() Lara can also drive vehicles, and this would be the speedboat at the Venice level. In the classic Core Design fashion there are also new moves, such as ladder climbing and 180-degree turns when swimming or jumping. There are new weapons that Lara can use, such as the M16, a grenade launcher, and a harpoon gun. However, there are enough original and unique puzzles, that offer new challenges to overcome. The overall presentation and controls haven’t improved, so much so that they got expanded a bit, which is no surprise considering a one-year difference between the two games. The second game in the series, has Lara searching for a magical Dagger of Xian, which is also being looked for by an Italian cult. Overall, I would suggest playing both this game and the original one, to see how far the series has gone, and also to compare notes. Moreover, if you’re a completionist type or player there are plenty of things to collect, which will be viewable in the mansion. ![]() With excellent graphics and a soundtrack, this game is a perfect introduction to the series. The only thing that is done differently is that some of the boss battles are done through quick-time events, as opposed to the original where you would shoot them until they die. Even the cutscenes are remade 1:1, most of the time. Each level and the puzzle are still there, even the enemy placement is relatively unchanged. This is a particularly difficult thing to achieve, but Anniversary is in most cases exactly, what you would imagine by playing the original game. It follows the original story, and the feel of the original is still there. ![]() Jumps and other acrobatics are much easier to plan out and execute. This time a more modern approach is taken, where Lara moves around freely, and you get an over-the-shoulder look while aiming. The gameplay is more user-friendly, and long are the days of “tank controls”. The overall gameplay is the same as in Legend, but it’s player friendly enough to make it enjoyable for new players. TR: Anniversary was developed by Crystal Dynamics, right after Tomb Raider: Legend. Why not just list the original games instead? Well, it’s in large part due to accessibility, and this is a very good remake of the original game. Now, you may be wondering why is the remake of the first game, listed as the first game on the list.
