How each room plays out, what order they’re in, and how you fight off each of the human “bosses” of each level is also different. Many rooms are very different in the original, from the Waterfall room near The Lost Valley to the “Tower” room in Greece.
Let’s start this off to clarify that anyone who played Tomb Raider Anniversary will find this a similar yet very different game from that remake. It’s typical Tomb Raider formula, though a little more puzzle-oriented if you haven’t played the original series before. As you play through the game, you’ll be navigating through dungeons and tombs full of platforms to jump across, enemies to gun down, and lots of puzzles to solve. Tomb Raider is a 3D Platforming Adventure game with combat elements thrown into the mix. Not to say it’s terrible, as you’re given plenty of story in each level, but it’s nothing like players of Anniversary will be expecting. You are given bits and pieces of the story, but once you do get the whole thing, you’ll find that the story and villain’s plot in the original is far different and more “basic” than that of Anniversary, despite being the same game. You do get the basic setting in the intro, but the actual overall story and background is far less in-depth than people are used to by now. Now, the above paragraph and the story shown in this game’s remake offers far too much credit to the actual story of the original game. Being a woman known for going on adventures and exploring ancient tombs, Lara is enticed to go and find a strange magical artifact for her, completely unaware of the significance of the artifact that she seeks being tied to the ancient past and a long-lost civilization. The original Tomb Raider is about a young adventurer named Lara Croft being approached by a big company owner named Jacqueline Natla. So, let’s start with a retro review of the original 1996 classic, Tomb Raider! Story
Note that I say 4 because Tomb Raider Chronicles never released on PSN.
It is time for me to go back and do retro reviews of all four PS One original games. The 3DS doesn’t have much in regards to Tomb Raider and I have already reviewed the PSP version of Tomb Raider Anniversary and Legend, so there’s only one thing left to do. And it is high due time that I did something on the site to help celebrate that anniversary, even though it is no longer 2016. I personally view the Lara Croft series and Tomb Raider series in different lights. I mean, sure, I reviewed Lara Croft Go, but I’m talking about the Tomb Raider franchise. Did you know that last year was the 20th anniversary of the Tomb Raider franchise? How sad that I didn’t even do anything to celebrate it.
