Official Xbox Magazine writes: With some trepidation, I approach Anniversary the second time around. Theres a double dose of nostalgia lying in wait here, first for the console-defining original Tomb Raider and second for Crystal Dynamics outstanding remake, which, through my rose-tinted bifocals (available at selected opticians), is the series finest hour. Not to mention Rise of the Tomb Raidercoming on the horizon. In the intervening years, Lara has changed some argue for the better; I argue for the worse, but then Im an old fart who holds no truck with all this newfangled exploring her vulnerability characterisation and combat-focused claptrap of the latest Raider. That said, gaming has shunted on apace since Anniversarys 2007 release, so can I expect to be disappointed on a second playthrough? Thankfully not.
