Tomb Raider: Anniversary

Eidos Interactive
Crystal Dynamics
Modern Action Adventure
Release: Dec 7, 2007

Over the course of the year, Crystal Dynamics' Tomb Raider: Anniversary--a healthy remake of the original Tomb Raider--has been popping up on all sorts of different consoles. Now, after a few months of fiddling on the developer's behalf, it has arrived on the Wii. The big difference between this and the previous versions of Anniversary lies in the motion controls. They allow for some pretty neat minigames, but unfortunately, they make fundamentals such as camera control and combat occasionally frustrating. Nevertheless, it can be worth learning to grapple with the controls because there's a lot of really satisfying, acrobatic action in here.
