 WOW! September 17, 2007

I loved this game and I am still playing it. I was really disappointed that the first TR was so hard to use with a newer pc, so I was delighted when this version came out and it is awesome! The graphics are off-the-hook.
I hope that if any of you other game vreators are reading reviews you take the hint, like duke nukem....AHEM....
 Purely Frustrating September 3, 2007

Save yourself some money. Don't buy this game, because it is too hard to control.
I have tried a gamepad, an optical mouse, and a keyboard. Forget it!
Maybe they have a keyboard just for the game... similar to a control panel on a jet!
On the other hand, the puzzles were designed by "Special Ed".

I remember, fondly, the early Tomb Raider games; I still have Tomb Raider III around here somewhere.
Tomb Raider Anniversary is simply, a huge waste of your hard earned cash. Laura is uncontrollable; WASD does not send her in a predetermined NWSE direction but depends, instead on which way she's facing. If she changes direction, so the the direction in which she will be sent by the WASD keys. Why anyone would decide this was a good thing, I do not know.
Using the grapple hook is an exercise in frustration as the Q key sits right next to the TAB key. If you miss the Q key even slightly, Laura is in mid jump and, suddenly, you're greeted with her inventory.
Save your cash. This one was a hard $30.00 lesson.
I'm going to uninstall this one and replay TR3. Do the same.
 Great graphics August 28, 2007

This game plays a lot like legend. There is not enough combat action for me. It seems like there are too many jumping puzzles to solve. The puzzles can be very frustrating. The graphics are great. It plays even smoother than legend did on my pc.
 Buggy w/extended "timed" obstacles on top of poor control August 28, 2007

At first game was smooth visuals, like the one before it, "Legend" was too, but offered more fun and better controls. Saving the game can only happens at certain intervals and several times conditions were so hard to accomplish I would have to play a hundred times or more to finally pass the exercise or choose to bypass it due to extreme problems with improper control or it just being too hard to accomplish. Many times I checked for updates but none to be found. Touched upon a blog for help and a few suggestions were found from new friends, but seemed mostly like buggy glitches in the game were worked around somehow, other than won by sharpening ones expertise in the game. About half way through, I decided to uninstall the game as it became so increasing difficult I was soon just trying to move on without accomplishing very hard tasks that were needed to find relics and such. No sense in continuing if having to leave behind all the relics. The new "wall traversing", was sorely buggy and hard to manage as I think it was really intended. I would have to get past that, which didn't work correctly, even after a myraid of prevously hard jumps and grabs, and then the event was even "timed" on top of it all! I felt like some cruel game producer was trying to torture me. That which started as fun entertainment, soon became torturous and painstaking!
Not to mention that the puzzles can't just be solved by oneself anymore, they are so hard I found them impossible to do without a guide from the internet or a book. What fun is that if you have to read how to solve something "ALL THE TIME!"...... it should be do-able without having to use a guide. Just too hard and a problem instead of a fun mystery, sorry, I just gave up. Very dissapointed, but Legend was great so I may go back in a year or so and get some of the older Tomb Raiders that were just before Legend and play them. Right now I am disgusted that I paid some $30 for this one and disenchanted from trying others for some time to come for now! I will probably just not play them anymore, the way I feel right now. She didn't even look sexy with some top on up to her neck. Couldn't change her apparel, she would get dirty as time went on. Was like she needed a shower and clean clothes, disgusting. Sorry, maybe I can sell it ........ no, wouldn't want to ask money for something as frustrating as this, guess I will just eat it. Too bad, was expecting something way better. How they can go to so much trouble to ruin a good game is beyond me? Why do they do that? Something with so much potential and just ruin it? Sad!
