Brings back old memories while still looking new December 2, 2008
As an early adopter of games on computers who still remembers things like DOS4GW, OpenGL and game ports on motherboards, this game really brings back some fond memories of 3D goodness back in the day. The new added controls specific to the Wiimotes is a nice-to-have feature that adds a little to the basic solid gameplay that built this franchise up from the ground with the first Tomb Raider. I got this on sale, but in my opinion it's worth the [...] I think it regularly retails at on Amazon.
 Great Anniversary November 29, 2008
Tomb Raider Anniversary for Wii is pretty much the same as TB:A on an system. Same great game, same decent graphics, same 15-25 hours of play(depending on skill and unlockables). What is different on Wii is the inclusion of a few new puzzles. What was simple a switch in, for example, the PS2 version, is now series of switches that must be aligned. There are variations to the puzzles, which add a little bit of fun, but in the end the Wii-exclusive content adds little to the overall expierence.
What does make the Wii version supirior (at least in my opinion) is the free aim shooting. In previous games, Laras shooting mechanics revolve around locking on, and pressing a button as fast as possble. In the Wii game, you must manuely aim you weapon and fire. At first it makes things more complicated, and the riticlue may seem hypersensitive, but after a while of play, youll get used to both the sensitivity and awesome-ness of the free aiming mechanics.
All in all, this is a great game and a steal for [...]. Just dont go looking for a new expierence in the Wii version if youve already played the game on a different console.
AWESOME!!!!!!!!!! November 24, 2008
OMG! I loveeeeeeeeeeeeeee Tomb Raider!!! it's my favorite game everrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!! I LOVE IT!!! plus...graphics are cool...
good game October 19, 2008
The graphics are great just as good as metroid prime 3. There is alot exploration. Solving the puzzles and get through the levels are fun. The controls for combat are not that good but may because it is a third party shooter and not first party shooter like Metroid prime 3. The camera get bad positions causing you to jump the wrong way missing a ledge or platform.
Anniversary edition is pretty good, lots of fun. July 20, 2008
I played the Tomb Raider with the ps2 and like it now with wii anniversary edition. Hard to manuver at first, but when you get the hand of it it's pretty nice.
