'''Tomb Raider''' was the first of the series, the game that started the legacy. It was impressive at the time for it's 3D graphics, player interaction, and mix of action and exploration. It also founded the third person perspective that all subsequent games have used, and introduces the classic Tomb Raider game engine. This game marks the first appearance of the protagonist of the Tomb Raider games: [[Lara Croft]].

The game was released in late 1996. A PDA and [[Nokia N-Gage]] (2003) version were released later. An expansion was released in 1998 featuring a separate 4-level adventure. This expansion was known as [[Unfinished Business|Tomb Raider Unfinished Business]].

== Information ==

=== Cover Synopsis===

Adventurer Lara Croft has been hired to recover the pieces of an ancient artefact known as the [[Scion]]. With her fearless acrobatic style, she runs, jumps, swims and climbs her way toward the truth of its origins and powers - leaving only a trail of empty tombs and gun-cartridges in her wake. On this trail are the most breath-taking 3D worlds yet seen - where exploration, puzzle and platform elements blend in a seamless real-time environment. <ref>Tomb Raider I, back cover - e.g. UK PlayStation Version (Platinum)</ref>

===Summary===

Climb, swim, and backflip your way through a maze of cryptic death traps so realistic you can practically smell the decaying flesh. Unload an arsenal of lethal firepower on any wild-dog, giant lizard or blood-thirsty mercenary that gets in your way.
Your mission is the deadliest one to date - the recovery of the fabled Scion, an incredible treasure reputed to give its possessor vast power. Get ready to cross the globe to take on impossible odds while exploring Incan ruins, Ancient Rome, Egyptian Pyramids, and the Lost City of Atlantis...

===Features===

* Explore four massive worlds with over 15 original levels encompassing four continents.

* Your arsenal includes: pistols, magnums, a shotgun and uzis.

* Battle wolves, bats, bears, alligators, raptors, and even a T-Rex in your quest for the Scion.

* Over 5,000 frames of animation on the main character, Lara, alone.

* Unique multi-target acquisition system.

* State of the art intelligent third person perspective cinematic camera system.

* Multi-genre immersive gameplay.

* The first real 3D interactive exploratory adventure.

== Gameplay ==

Tomb Raider is third person perspective, with the camera following Lara. She can run, walk, vault, shimmy, jump, move blocks, swim, swan dive, roll, shoot and perform numerous acrobatic aerial manoeuvres. She automatically locks on to enemies and can run and jump while locked on, giving her the advantage to jump behind the enemy while shooting it in the back. The AI of enemies is mediocre. When confronted with a lion, it will run, stop to growl, run again, stop to growl again, and so forth. This can be seen as unrealistic, but was impressive at its time, and does little to inhibit the gameplay.

When Lara is jumping to another platform, she must execute a well timed jump for longer distances, with simple stationary jumps for shorter distances. Some platforms may require Lara to perform a running jump, which causes her to grab the edge of the platform and then vault up. To get to another platform, Lara must grab onto the edge of the platform she is standing on, and shimmy across a group of edges before she can vault up. Lara receives damage from dropping from great height, and a long enough fall will kill her. There are also numerous opponents that will do their best to kill Lara, and a whole host of traps and obstacles that inflict varying degrees of damage.

There are some puzzles in the game but they are more practical than mathematical. For example, some doors may be timed and Lara must use a lever to open it then cross a series of obstacles, usually requiring timed jumps. Some puzzles require the finding of items and keys. The [[Palace Midas]] level requires the player to utilise a magical process in order to complete the level.

In the PlayStation and Sega Saturn versions of Tomb Raider, saving the game is restricted to fixed save points within each level, marked by a floating blue save crystal. When Lara touches one of these the option to save is made available. The scarcity of these points, however, means that if the player dies, large portions of each level must be replayed, much to the players' frustration. Following criticism on this system, it was changed in later games. The PC and Mac versions of the game allow the player to save at any time.

==Story==
===Introduction===
Lara Croft, daughter of [[Lord Henshingly Croft]], was raised to be an aristocrat from birth. After attending finishing school at the age of 21, Lara's marriage into wealth has seem assured, but on her way home from a skiing trip her chartered plane had crashed deep in the heart of the Himalayas. The only survivor, Lara learned how to depend on her wits to stay alive in hostile conditions a world away from her sheltered upbringing. 2 weeks later, when she walked into the village of [[Tokakeriby]] her experience had had a profound effect on her. Unable to stand the claustrophobic suffocating atmosphere of upper-class British society, she realised that she was only truly alive when she was travelling alone. Over the 8 following years she acquired an intimate knowledge of ancient civilisations across the globe. Her family disowned their prodigal daughter, and she turned to writing to fund her trips. Famed for discovering several ancient sites of profound archaeological interest she made a name for herself by publishing travel books and detailed journals of her exploits.

== Development ==

Preliminary work on Tomb Raider commenced in 1993, but it was not until November 1996 that the game actually saw the light of day as a retail product. The title was crafted by Core Design of Europe, who took 18 months to develop it. The team consisted of six people, among them Toby Gard, who is credited with the invention of Lara Croft. The character went through several changes before Core settled on the version she became famous for. In its earliest conception, Lara Croft was a male placeholder for an as yet undefined character, but as Core decided that puzzles and stealth should be more important to the game than action, they found that these requirements better suited a female character than a classic male action hero.

As such Lara was born under the name Laura Cruz. "Laura" was later dropped in favour of Lara, to appeal more to American audiences. At the same time, her back story started to shape up and it was decided she should become more British, hence Cruz was changed to Croft to accommodate this. Personality-wise, Lara was a cold-blooded militaristic type in the early concepts. According to Toby Gard, the idea to make her a female Indiana Jones was not present from the beginning, but rather grew naturally out of the development process as the game took its final form.

Lara's famous breast size was in actuality brought about by accident. Toby Gard was fudging around with the model when he accidentally blew up Lara's bosom to 150% of what he intended it to be. As he was resizing it back to normal, the other designers saw what he was working on and told him they loved it and that he should keep the double size.

Interestingly enough, it is Core's contention that the company was struggling somewhat with 32-bit development at that time. It is also rumoured that Tomb Raider's publishing company Eidos was near bankruptcy when Tomb Raider was created. The first glints of the game were seen on Sega Saturn development kits. However, ultimately, it would be the PlayStation rendition that would be known best.

== Gameplay ==

Tomb Raider is third person perspective, with the camera following Lara. She can run, walk, vault, shimmy, jump, move blocks, swim, swan dive, roll, shoot and perform numerous acrobatic aerial manoeuvres. She automatically locks on to enemies and can run and jump while locked on, giving her the advantage to jump behind the enemy while shooting it in the back. The AI of enemies is mediocre. When confronted with a lion, it will run, stop to growl, run again, stop to growl again, and so forth. This can be seen as unrealistic, but was impressive at its time, and does little to inhibit the gameplay.

When Lara is jumping to another platform, she must execute a well timed jump for longer distances, with simple stationary jumps for shorter distances. Some platforms may require Lara to perform a running jump, which causes her to grab the edge of the platform and then vault up. To get to another platform, Lara must grab onto the edge of the platform she is standing on, and shimmy across a group of edges before she can vault up. Lara receives damage from dropping from great height, and a long enough fall will kill her. There are also numerous opponents that will do their best to kill Lara, and a whole host of traps and obstacles that inflict varying degrees of damage.

There are some puzzles in the game but they are more practical than mathematical. For example, some doors may be timed and Lara must use a lever to open it then cross a series of obstacles, usually requiring timed jumps. Some puzzles require the finding of items and keys. The [[Palace Midas]] level requires the player to utilise a magical process in order to complete the level.

In the PlayStation and Sega Saturn versions of Tomb Raider, saving the game is restricted to fixed save points within each level, marked by a floating blue save crystal. When Lara touches one of these the option to save is made available. The scarcity of these points, however, means that if the player dies, large portions of each level must be replayed, much to the players' frustration. Following criticism on this system, it was changed in later games. The PC and Mac versions of the game allow the player to save at any time.

== Development ==

Preliminary work on Tomb Raider commenced in 1993, but it was not until November 1996 that the game actually saw the light of day as a retail product. The title was crafted by Core Design of Europe, who took 18 months to develop it. The team consisted of six people, among them Toby Gard, who is credited with the invention of Lara Croft. The character went through several changes before Core settled on the version she became famous for. In its earliest conception, Lara Croft was a male placeholder for an as yet undefined character, but as Core decided that puzzles and stealth should be more important to the game than action, they found that these requirements better suited a female character than a classic male action hero.

As such Lara was born under the name Laura Cruz. "Laura" was later dropped in favour of Lara, to appeal more to American audiences. At the same time, her back story started to shape up and it was decided she should become more British, hence Cruz was changed to Croft to accommodate this. Personality-wise, Lara was a cold-blooded militaristic type in the early concepts. According to Toby Gard, the idea to make her a female Indiana Jones was not present from the beginning, but rather grew naturally out of the development process as the game took its final form.

Lara's famous breast size was in actuality brought about by accident. Toby Gard was fudging around with the model when he accidentally blew up Lara's bosom to 150% of what he intended it to be. As he was resizing it back to normal, the other designers saw what he was working on and told him they loved it and that he should keep the double size.

Interestingly enough, it is Core's contention that the company was struggling somewhat with 32-bit development at that time. It is also rumoured that Tomb Raider's publishing company Eidos was near bankruptcy when Tomb Raider was created. The first glints of the game were seen on Sega Saturn development kits. However, ultimately, it would be the PlayStation rendition that would be known best.

==About the Game==
[[Image:Anniversarylara.jpg|thumb|112px|right|Lara in Anniversary]]
The adventure begins when Lara is hired by a powerful syndicate to retrieve a mythical object called the Scion. As Lara searches ancient tombs and isolated worlds that have lain undisturbed for thousands of years, she discovers that she is not alone. Not only has she awoken their fearsome guardians but there are others desperate to learn the Scion’s dark secrets.

Celebrate and commemorate ten years of Tomb Raider and Lara Croft with Tomb Raider: Anniversary, a new action adventure inspired by the original Tomb Raider video game, one of the greatest action adventure games of all time. 
(Source: official Site)

For those who haven't yet played the first game, Lara is hired by Jacqueline Natla of Natla Technologies to uncover the Scion of Atlantis artefact. Natla has already located Vilcabamba, the city leading to Qualopec's Tomb.

===Content===
The Anniversary Edition is going to be a remake of the 1st [[Tomb Raider]] game but with better graphics and difficult puzzles. TR Anniversary will have the previous game [[Legend]]'s controls and gameplay.

===Features===
The story will be told using more cut scenes than 10 years ago.

* ''Play the living Lara Croft''
: the world’s greatest action heroine of all time – use all of Lara's guile, latest fluid movements, athleticism and gadgets in her quest to conquer the unknown and uncover ancient artifacts.

* ''Explore uncharted and mysterious worlds''
: enter into strange, undiscovered lands and solve their deepest, darkest mysteries, open doors to new realms, uncover great rewards and unearth secrets to Lara's past.

* ''Includes classic environments from the original [[Tomb Raider]] as never experienced before''
: [[Crystal Dynamics]] latest technology allows you to fluidly manoeuvre Lara using her latest moves and [[gear]], through all the worlds from the original; Peru, Greece, Egypt and more. The dynamic world allows multiple play-through options and also opens up new places and ways to explore.

*''startling enemy encounters''
: Encounter fierce animal and supernatural enemies, wolves, bears, crocodiles, horrific monsters and of course, the T Rex. New and improved AI means that all enemies will exhibit a more diverse behaviour set, providing improved combat challenges for the player.

*''directors commentary''
:The original Tomb Raider game designer, Toby Gard and Tomb Raider: Anniversary’s Game Director Jason Botta from Crystal Dynamics, provides an unlockable commentary on how this game was made, with some previously undisclosed secrets from Toby about the original Tomb Raider game.

===Gameplay===
The environments in Tomb Raider Anniversary are much more interactive: Lara can use them for lots of things, pick up a piece of wood on the ground and use it as a ladder. Puzzles are more complicated than in [[Tomb Raider Legend]]. There is no clue or sparkling thing to show you where to go.

There is more than one way to explore the environments and complete a level. You can choose the acrobatic way, or the easier way.

Fighting enemies is still an important part of the game: the beast are much more realistic and their [[AI]] has really been improved. They are more dangerous than before, they develop a real strategy to kill you. For example the [[Raptors]] run around Lara in circles until they are enough to jump at her and attack her.

There will be checkpoints like in [[Tomb Raider Legend]] where the game is saved.

==Story==
On the search for the [[Scion]] Lara will travel to [[Peru]], [[Greece]], [[Egypt]] and [[Atlantis]].

==Locations==

* [[England]], [[Surrey]] ([[Lara's Home]])
* [[Peru]]
* [[Greece]]
* [[Egypt]]

===Gear===

====Weapons====
* [[Dual Pistols]]
* [[Shotgun]]
* [[Dual 50 Caliber Pistols]]
* [[Dual Mini SMGs]]

====First Aid Items====
* [[Small Medipack]]
* [[Large Medipack]]

====Other Gear====
* [[Grapple]]

===Secrets===
There are 58 secrets in Tomb Raider Anniversary. 8 of them are special [[Relics]], the rest are simple artifacts.

Since then, Tomb Raider has gone on to become one of the world's most successful videogame franchises of all time, and Lara's latest adventure, Tomb Raider: Anniversary is a celebration of Lara’s original adventure in an entirely new Crystal Dynamics game.

Building on the technology, tools and experience we developed for Tomb Raider: Legend, we've created Anniversary, a completely fresh experience for Tomb Raider fans and a brand new game for those who are new to the series," said Sean Vesce, Studio Manager, Crystal Dynamics.

Eidos' Message to the Tomb Raider Community
Eidos is pleased to announce some special news directly to the Tomb Raider
community.
The official name of the next Tomb Raider game is Lara Croft Tomb Raider:
Anniversary, and the first screenshot is going straight to where it matters most - the
people who have supported Lara across the years.
As most of you may already know, Tomb Raider: Anniversary is a revitalized version
of the original adventure that started it all. This game is more than just a remake; it
is a celebration of Lara Croft and the history of the Tomb Raider franchise.
One would need to be blind to not see the impact that Lara Croft has had, both on
gaming in general, as well as pop-culture. She is a character that people connect
with, a character that transcends the media in which she was originally presented.
However, Lara's rise to fame didn't just magically happen. There has been a very
powerful, dedicated fan base that has not only tracked her every move over the last
10 years, but helped transform her from being just a video game character, to an
international digital celebrity.
Every time a new Tomb Raider game has been released, the fans have asked for a
remake of the original. Tomb Raider: Anniversary is our answer. This game is for
the fans. It only makes sense that the first information, as well as much more to
come, goes directly to the fans. We hope you enjoy the screenshot, and keep your
eye out for more information soon...

====October 2006====
Eidos Celebrates with Lara Croft Tomb Raider: Anniversary
Inspired by the original Tomb Raider comes a totally new Lara adventure

Eidos Interactive Ltd., one of the world's leading publishers and developers of entertainment software, today confirms that the next Tomb Raider game will be entitled Lara Croft Tomb Raider: Anniversary and is set for release on PlayStation 2, PlayStation Portable (PSP) and PC in 2007.

Inspired by the first Tomb Raider videogame, originally released in 1996, LARA CROFT TOMB RAIDER: ANNIVERSARY is a totally new 2006 adventure for Lara, faithfully preserving the elements which made the original Tomb Raider such a classic, selling over 7 million copies worldwide. Using an enhanced 'Tomb Raider: Legend' game engine, the graphics, technology, physics and engine bring Lara's adventure and pursuit of a mystical artefact known only as the Scion right up to today's technology standards and will offer gamers a completely new gameplay experience.

"Over the years we have had literally thousands of requests to re-make the original Tomb Raider for today's gamer, we have gone a step further, we have taken the original story and made a completely new version for Tomb Raider: Anniversary." said Kathryn Clements, Senior Brand Manager, Eidos. "We are re-telling an incredible story using today’s technology, we've taken all of the key moments from the original game and put them into the context of a brand new Tomb Raider adventure which will make fans of the franchise extremely happy but also attract a completely new audience."

"We've captured the essence of what made the original game so special and with today's technology, created a game that pushes the boundaries of the current gaming consoles. Tomb Raider: Anniversary is a special celebration of Lara's reign as videogaming's leading lady" said Ian Livingstone, Eidos.

Lara Croft Tomb Raider: Anniversary is currently in development by Crystal Dynamics and will be available in 2007 on PlayStation 2, PSP and PC

===Internet Rumours===
A video has come out on the internet before it was supposed to, showing the animation of the [[T-Rex]] and of [[Larson]] when it apparently was not supposed to be. This is a genuine video showing the T-Rex's animations alongside the velociraptors and bears and the animations of Larson. Crystal Dynamics and Eidos have not meant for this video to come out. It was put online on the animation artist's website and from there reached other Tomb Raider Fansites as well as youtube. It was quickly and inexplicably removed, although it has been confirmed that this video has been banned on the internet.

== Trivia ==
- on the PS2 square or grapple is only used once in the last interactive cutscene
- unlike it's predecessor and successor, Anniversary didn't appear on the Nintendo DS

The environments in Tomb Raider Anniversary are much more interactive: Lara can use them for lots of things, pick up a piece of wood on the ground and use it as a ladder. Puzzles are more complicated than in [[Tomb Raider Legend]]. There is no clue or sparkling thing to show you where to go.

There is more than one way to explore the environments and complete a level. You can choose the acrobatic way, or the easier way.

Fighting enemies is still an important part of the game: the beast are much more realistic and their [[AI]] has really been improved. They are more dangerous than before, they develop a real strategy to kill you. For example the [[Raptors]] run around Lara in circles until they are enough to jump at her and attack her.

There will be checkpoints like in [[Tomb Raider Legend]] where the game is saved.

==Story==
On the search for the [[Scion]] Lara will travel to [[Peru]], [[Greece]], [[Egypt]] and [[Atlantis]].

The world's love affair with Lara Croft began back in 1996 with the launch of the original Tomb Raider game. Since then, Tomb Raider has gone on to become one of the world's most successful videogame franchises of all time, and Lara's latest adventure, Tomb Raider: Anniversary is a celebration of Lara’s original adventure in an entirely new Crystal Dynamics game.

"Our goal was to capture the essence of what made the original Tomb Raider game such an incredible adventure, and use this to create a brand new Tomb Raider game. Building on the technology, tools and experience we developed for Tomb Raider: Legend, we've created Anniversary, a completely fresh experience for Tomb Raider fans and a brand new game for those who are new to the series," said Sean Vesce, Studio Manager, Crystal Dynamics.

Eidos' Message to the Tomb Raider Community
Eidos is pleased to announce some special news directly to the Tomb Raider
community.
The official name of the next Tomb Raider game is Lara Croft Tomb Raider:
Anniversary, and the first screenshot is going straight to where it matters most - the
people who have supported Lara across the years.
As most of you may already know, Tomb Raider: Anniversary is a revitalized version
of the original adventure that started it all. This game is more than just a remake; it
is a celebration of Lara Croft and the history of the Tomb Raider franchise.
One would need to be blind to not see the impact that Lara Croft has had, both on
gaming in general, as well as pop-culture. She is a character that people connect
with, a character that transcends the media in which she was originally presented.
However, Lara's rise to fame didn't just magically happen. There has been a very
powerful, dedicated fan base that has not only tracked her every move over the last
10 years, but helped transform her from being just a video game character, to an
international digital celebrity.
Every time a new Tomb Raider game has been released, the fans have asked for a
remake of the original. Tomb Raider: Anniversary is our answer. This game is for
the fans. It only makes sense that the first information, as well as much more to
come, goes directly to the fans. We hope you enjoy the screenshot, and keep your
eye out for more information soon...

====October 2006====
Eidos Celebrates with Lara Croft Tomb Raider: Anniversary
Inspired by the original Tomb Raider comes a totally new Lara adventure

Eidos Interactive Ltd., one of the world's leading publishers and developers of entertainment software, today confirms that the next Tomb Raider game will be entitled Lara Croft Tomb Raider: Anniversary and is set for release on PlayStation 2, PlayStation Portable (PSP) and PC in 2007.

Inspired by the first Tomb Raider videogame, originally released in 1996, LARA CROFT TOMB RAIDER: ANNIVERSARY is a totally new 2006 adventure for Lara, faithfully preserving the elements which made the original Tomb Raider such a classic, selling over 7 million copies worldwide. Using an enhanced 'Tomb Raider: Legend' game engine, the graphics, technology, physics and engine bring Lara's adventure and pursuit of a mystical artefact known only as the Scion right up to today's technology standards and will offer gamers a completely new gameplay experience.

"Over the years we have had literally thousands of requests to re-make the original Tomb Raider for today's gamer, we have gone a step further, we have taken the original story and made a completely new version for Tomb Raider: Anniversary." said Kathryn Clements, Senior Brand Manager, Eidos. "We are re-telling an incredible story using today’s technology, we've taken all of the key moments from the original game and put them into the context of a brand new Tomb Raider adventure which will make fans of the franchise extremely happy but also attract a completely new audience."

"We've captured the essence of what made the original game so special and with today's technology, created a game that pushes the boundaries of the current gaming consoles. Tomb Raider: Anniversary is a special celebration of Lara's reign as videogaming's leading lady" said Ian Livingstone, Eidos.

Lara Croft Tomb Raider: Anniversary is currently in development by Crystal Dynamics and will be available in 2007 on PlayStation 2, PSP and PC

===Internet Rumours===
A video has come out on the internet before it was supposed to, showing the animation of the [[T-Rex]] and of [[Larson]] when it apparently was not supposed to be. This is a genuine video showing the T-Rex's animations alongside the velociraptors and bears and the animations of Larson. Crystal Dynamics and Eidos have not meant for this video to come out. It was put online on the animation artist's website and from there reached other Tomb Raider Fansites as well as youtube. It was quickly and inexplicably removed, although it has been confirmed that this video has been banned on the internet.

==About the Game==
[[Image:Anniversarylara.jpg|thumb|112px|right|Lara in Anniversary]]
The adventure begins when Lara is hired by a powerful syndicate to retrieve a mythical object called the Scion. As Lara searches ancient tombs and isolated worlds that have lain undisturbed for thousands of years, she discovers that she is not alone. Not only has she awoken their fearsome guardians but there are others desperate to learn the Scion’s dark secrets.

Celebrate and commemorate ten years of Tomb Raider and Lara Croft with Tomb Raider: Anniversary, a new action adventure inspired by the original Tomb Raider video game, one of the greatest action adventure games of all time. 
(Source: official Site)

For those who haven't yet played the first game, Lara is hired by Jacqueline Natla of Natla Technologies to uncover the Scion of Atlantis artefact. Natla has already located Vilcabamba, the city leading to Qualopec's Tomb.

===Content===
The Anniversary Edition is going to be a remake of the 1st [[Tomb Raider]] game but with better graphics and difficult puzzles. TR Anniversary will have the previous game [[Legend]]'s controls and gameplay.

===Features===
The story will be told using more cut scenes than 10 years ago.

* ''Play the living Lara Croft''
: the world’s greatest action heroine of all time – use all of Lara's guile, latest fluid movements, athleticism and gadgets in her quest to conquer the unknown and uncover ancient artifacts.

* ''Explore uncharted and mysterious worlds''
: enter into strange, undiscovered lands and solve their deepest, darkest mysteries, open doors to new realms, uncover great rewards and unearth secrets to Lara's past.

* ''Includes classic environments from the original [[Tomb Raider]] as never experienced before''
: [[Crystal Dynamics]] latest technology allows you to fluidly manoeuvre Lara using her latest moves and [[gear]], through all the worlds from the original; Peru, Greece, Egypt and more. The dynamic world allows multiple play-through options and also opens up new places and ways to explore.

*''startling enemy encounters''
: Encounter fierce animal and supernatural enemies, wolves, bears, crocodiles, horrific monsters and of course, the T Rex. New and improved AI means that all enemies will exhibit a more diverse behaviour set, providing improved combat challenges for the player.

*''directors commentary''
:The original Tomb Raider game designer, Toby Gard and Tomb Raider: Anniversary’s Game Director Jason Botta from Crystal Dynamics, provides an unlockable commentary on how this game was made, with some previously undisclosed secrets from Toby about the original Tomb Raider game.

===Gameplay===
The environments in Tomb Raider Anniversary are much more interactive: Lara can use them for lots of things, pick up a piece of wood on the ground and use it as a ladder. Puzzles are more complicated than in [[Tomb Raider Legend]]. There is no clue or sparkling thing to show you where to go.

There is more than one way to explore the environments and complete a level. You can choose the acrobatic way, or the easier way.

Fighting enemies is still an important part of the game: the beast are much more realistic and their [[AI]] has really been improved. They are more dangerous than before, they develop a real strategy to kill you. For example the [[Raptors]] run around Lara in circles until they are enough to jump at her and attack her.

There will be checkpoints like in [[Tomb Raider Legend]] where the game is saved.

==Story==
On the search for the [[Scion]] Lara will travel to [[Peru]], [[Greece]], [[Egypt]] and [[Atlantis]].

==Locations==

* [[England]], [[Surrey]] ([[Lara's Home]])
* [[Peru]]
* [[Greece]]
* [[Egypt]]
* [[Lost Island]]

==In-game Elements==

===Gear===
The inventory will be like in the first Tomb Raider (rotating ring). Additionally Lara will have her [[grapple]], which will, according to rumour, not be magnetic this time.

====Weapons====
* [[Dual Pistols]]
* [[Shotgun]]
* [[Dual 50 Caliber Pistols]]
* [[Dual Mini SMGs]]

====First Aid Items====
* [[Small Medipack]]
* [[Large Medipack]]

====Other Gear====

===Secrets===
There are 58 secrets in Tomb Raider Anniversary. 8 of them are special [[Relics]], the rest are simple artifacts.

== Summary ==
Lara Croft returns in her most daring adventure to date - Tomb Raider III. In a search to find four mysterious artefacts fashioned from the heart of an ancient meteorite. From the Jungles of [[India]] to the depths of the mysterious [[Area 51]], Lara has new weapons, vehicles and moves to outwit her foes.

The Lost Artefact includes 5 brand new levels that provide a continuation of Lara's adventures in [[Tomb Raider III]]. After receiving a strange invitation to a Scottish estate, Lara now learns of the existence of a fifth artefact, the [[Hand of Rathmore]]. Lost for many years, this final piece will complete the set. A hazardous trail riddled with traps and enemies takes her from a Scottish castle's subterranean laboratory to the Paris Catacombs. Be ready for anything and prepare to be amazed!
