    We all know that Tomb Raider Legend on PSP was a disaster. However, Anniversary vastly improves upon the previous instalment's bad controls, bad camera and low framerate. This version is just as brilliant as the other versions. Nice graphics and gameplay make for and enjoyable playthrough.

    while it is a surprise how good of a version it is. It is an incredibly buggy mess, The load times are horrendous, the control is incredibly sensitive. Play any version but this version.

    Tomb Raider Anniversary is probably the best action-adventure 3D game ever made for the PSP. I like how the controls were bastly improved from the PSP version of Tomb Raider Legend, I love how smooth its framerate is. It's a portable game with a pretty good lenght for a linear experience (something about 7-10 hours).

It's a portable version of a console experience without any substantial sacrifice: yes, the game looks a little flat compared to its PS3 and Xbox 360 cousins, but the fact that every layout, secret, and moveset made it to the PSP is something very loable.
    This game is not hard in any way, the climbing is organic and paceful and the level-puzzle design is somewhat condescendent, but still fun. The only bad implemented feature of this game (no matter what version of it) is the combat: the enemies (with one or two exceptions) are boring, annoying, even pointless. The bosses are okay and sometimes a genuine challenge. Overall, this game is great, and in the PSP is awesome and lovely.    … Expand

    I enjoyed "Tomb Raider Legend' on the PSP. This title managed to improve all the shortcomings of the previous game. The game looks and plays better than its predecessor. Highly recommended.

    I finished storymode! Not done collecting relics. 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, lovedI finished storymode!

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%.… Expand

    In the end, though, it's a testament to the game's quality that even in the face of the imperfect camera and combat, the wonderful adventuring aspects manage to make up for whatever other shortcomings this game may possess. [July 2007, p.54]

    A near-essential addition to PSP's library. [Aug 2007, p.79]

    The PSP version benefits from a more reliable targeting system than the superb PS2 version. [Aug 2007, p.106]
