Tomb Raider Anniversary -- Initial Impression.

I've also started in on Tomb Raider Anniversary for the PlayStation 2 via the PlayStation 3. Tomb Raider Anniversary is the retelling of Lara Croft's original adventure using the Tomb Raider Legends engine. So you're back trekking through Peru and Greece and Egypt with better controls and refined puzzles and more moves and abilities. The original Tomb Raider was a success beyond the tits because of its true sense of exploration coupled with isolation and in spite of its awkward and stiff controls. Crystal Dynamics is going to attempt to do for the original what Tomb Raider Legends managed to pull off for the series as a whole. It's going to breathe new life into something rather dead.  I have played through the first two levels and I have to say I think Crystal Dynamics is on the right track yet again. We'll have to see if they can fully pull it off on the other side of course.
