Tomb Raider: Anniversary PS1 to PS2 comparison, PC demo, and all Lara Croft models return

Using an enhanced Tomb Raider: Legend game engine, the new graphics, technology and physics in Tomb Raider: Anniversary bring Lara’s adventure and pursuit of a mystical artifact known only as the Scion right up to today’s technology standards and will offer gamers a completely new gameplay experience.

Did you know? The original Tomb Raider from 1996 sold over 7 million copies worldwide!

See how Lara’s old stomping grounds have changed since their shift from PlayStation to the PlayStation 2. Besides the PS2, it’ll also be released on PSP, PC and Steam download, all on June 1st throughout most of the world and on June 5th in North and South America. Followed by a release on Wii later in 2007 and PS3 in 2008. Here’s the Tomb Raider: Anniversary PS1 to PS2 comparison video:

Eidos has released a playable demo (257mb). The Tomb Raider: Anniversary PC demo gives you the chance to try out part of the Lost Valley level in Peru where Lara is hired by Jacqueline Natla to find the Scion hidden in the Tomb of Qualopec, hidden in the Incan city of Vilcambamba.


With many Tomb Raider games, Eidos has hired real life models to portray Lara Croft. Now, with the release of Tomb Raider Anniversary, the company got all original Laras together in one room for a big photo shoot.
