Tomb Raider Anniversary review for Sony PSP
Tomb Raider was a gargantuan smash in its day, kickstarting the career of Lara Croft as one of gaming's most famous characters – her posters were plastered across thousands of teenage boys' bedroom walls. Play the same game today, and what was then a classic has aged terribly. Fortunately for this celebratory anniversary edition, developer Crystal Dynamics has given the franchise a bit of spit and polish, affording Lara a set of moves she first learned in Tomb Raider Legend, and making her handle less like a tank and more like an acrobatic rival to Ubisoft's Prince of Persia. It's a delight to revisit those old environments, t weaked so subtly but brilliantly to both evoke nostalgia in gaming veterans and provide a fresh experience for a new generation of gamers. As an example of how to update a classic, Crystal Dynamics get an A+.
