While this is a good Tomb Raider game, beware that the port is not perfect. There are various glitches such as Lara slipping off platforms when you see that you've successfully grabbed it after a jump, or Lara falling when you've successfully jumped onto a narrow balance platform before jumping to a larger surface. She will slide right off regardless if you made a secure and successful jump.

Another thing is that the Auto Save for Tomb Raider Anniversary will randomly corrupt and completely wipe your save progress. This happened to me today for no reason; nothing was tampered with and no settings were changed. I go to load my save file which was at Natla's Mines, and now I have to start all over from the beginning of the game. The rewards I unlocked so far such as music tracks, outfits, and some relics and miscellany are intact, but my level progress -- and probably my weapon progress -- are completely gone.

This is unacceptable and shouldn't have happened. I have TRA on console, but I don't play that console anymore and it's rather old; I wanted to play a game I love(d) on PC, so I bought this while it was on sale. With my TRA profile and level progress gone, it just killed all replay value for me.

Was having some issues with bugs, however after reading a forum and enabling Vsync, I haven't had an issues since! A great way to play this game without having to track down a PS2 copy :)

Legend, Anniversary and Underworld all feature the same game-breaking bugs that can utterly kill your ability to progress. These games are fun but don't expect to actually be able to play them all the way through, I guess.

Still the best TR for me, best balance between old school low poly Lara and modern boring "daddy issues" one. Controls are sometimes janky but still super fun. A real "Tomb Raider".

A good mix of puzzles, platforming, and action. 12 or 13 decently long levels, and after you complete the game, you can revisit levels and the game displays how many artifacts/relics were collected or missed. Time trial mode is fun too. Great artwork and graphics for 2006.

Sometimes it's hard to get Lara to perform the correct ring jumps off walls, but other than that, I think the complaints about the controls in reviews are exaggerated. Controls are very good except for the occasional ring jump that goes awry.

Got the game on sale for $0.98. Absolute steal at that price.

Also make sure you get the third party dll to play in windowed mode (if that's your bag). Made it a lot easier to stream.

10/10

It's the very first game, but better.

Anniversary was heavily overlooked back in 2007 when it was released to the public. This game is a neat reimagination (not a remake!) of Tomb raider 1996. Platforming is fun, puzzles have some challenge to them and I love adrenaline combat mechanic. Some changes to original locations and bosses were great too.

A great game! had a fun time playing it :DD
