    Tomb Raider’s puzzles remain just as challenging as before, and you’ll spend plenty of time just looking around rooms trying to figure out how to move on to the next area. Thankfully they never get boring.

    Anniversary is not quite the game that Legend was. Though initially I was floored by how well the series had been updated, as time went on and the frustrations piled up, it started to lose the raw appeal. It's good, but not great.

    While it's a solid enough game, once the feelings of nostalgia wane, you may feel a bit restricted by the game's linearity and the sometimes difficult camera.

    A damn good remake of a damn good game.

    As a port, it does the job. But the convulsive controls and lack of new features makes TRA for PSP only an optional extra to the PS2 experience. [Aug 2007, p.99]

    Thankfully, when you die, which will be quite frequently, the loading times are kept mercifully short and don't add to the frustration like so many other PSP games.

It was a super fun game. I loved being Lara, jumping, climbing, using the grappling hook, solving puzzles etc. the framerate was good and consistent. only sometimes it dropped but nothing major unlike Legend. so dont worry with that. the story was good and it was better imo than Legend, which too was good on ps2. loved the graphics, loved the levels, loved the architecture. loved the SMG's. please watch this video on youtube "Longplay of Tomb Raider Anniversary" to get a good idea if you'd like to buy the game. minus two stars because the enemies were annoying and i died multiple times and the difficulty wasnt always good. and there were some small framedrops as i mentioned below. A solid 8/10. tombraider: anniversary psp YOU DID THAT. Now I need a proper psvita TR title. anyone somehow hesitant to buy the game. do it. you won't regret. now imma try to complete the game 100%.… Full Review »

    una verdadera experiencia se siente la nostalgia del primero pero con calidad de underworlds es maravilloso la verdad, así se hace un remake
