    It's a good Tomb Raider game, but motion controls don't work for this sort of game. It's playable, but a standard controller is preferred. The game does have some Wii exclusive features, but overall they feel gimmicky and aren't that fun. The visuals are sharper than the PS2 version. Get it on PS3, XB360, or PC instead.

    This is one of my favourite games. Great story line, the graphics are pretty good. The puzzles are fun and engaging and not too repetitive. The story is a decent length, but not so long that you can't make good headway in an afternoon. There are a few issues with the camera angles which get a little frustrating but overall it's just a fun and enjoyable game. It's a definite must haveThis is one of my favourite games.

    Another reboot of an old school classic and once again the graphics are the main beneficiary. One niggle is that you need to be very proficient with the nunchuck as the Tomb Raider formula calls for well-timed precision which can be very fiddly with the Wii's default controls and rather irritatingly, there's no other option.

    The Wii control additions really do add to the experience and the game looks pretty good, too. The end product is not exemplary, but it is a step in the right direction and it's also entertaining, particularly when you're jumping from ledge to ledge or swinging across chasms to the beat of moody music.

    Lara Croft's transition to the Wii is not an entirely smooth one.

    The Wii version of Tomb Raider Anniversary won’t pull in those who have already played the game on PS2 or Xbox 360. Everyone else, however, will be pleasantly surprised by the Wii remote implementation. This is one tomb that should be explored thoroughly.
