Tomb raider anniversary1/16/2024 ![]() ![]() I felt that the game's big surprise was revealed way too early. But their banter with Lara during Legend made the game more fun and I missed them. They weren't in the original, and Lara wouldn't have met them yet). Among my lesser gripes with Anniversary were the absence of Zip and Al (I can understand why you did this, though. Please don't turn your back on those wonderful improvements that made the world fall in love with Lara all over again. From what I hear, that game saved your franchise. BTW, I don't think that there should be any such thing as a *required* combo move(was it even possible to do an adrenaline dodge in any mode other than "Advanced Toggle"?

In the "10 years of Tomb Raider" promotional stuff, it was said that Tomb Raider was originally designed to be an "interactive movie". Eidos, there is nothing more BORING than watching your character die 15 consecutive times during the same sequence of events. When I heard comments in the lead up to Anniversary about "improved combat systems to give players a bigger challenge" (or something like that), my heart sunk, and my fears were realized as I advanced through the game. Well now with the release of TR: Anniversary we can finally see where Legend had it over it's predecessors. ![]() ![]() There had been a great many changes made since the previous titles (especially in the graphics quality).
