Oh and on a more related note: I didn't like Tomb Raider I or II for PS1. But Tomb Raider Anniversary (PSP) is on sale on PSN, and I'm wondering if I should give it a second chance? I like the Uncharted games (3 being my fav) and I think it might be cool to hav Tomb Raider Anniversary is it is more like Uncharted than its PS1 mutant-origins!
So Anniversary is actually what the upcoming Ratchet game is going to be like. A re-imagining of the original. Familiar yet fresh. The cluncky controlls are gone, the camera is much better, the character of Lara has gone through a personality change and the story is far more present than before. Out of the Crystal trilogy Anniversary is my least favorite. In comparrison to Legend and Underworld the game might even be a little.. slow. But I won't bore you with the details. I'll compare it to Uncharted for you.
I find Anniversary focusses more on puzzles than the Uncharted games do. There is also far less logic involved them, instead they are usually a lot harden and more cryptic. The game is also very silent and sports a movie-like system that only allows music to come through when the game absolutely needs it. Like finding a secret and enemies coming towards you. Most of the time you listen to the rythym of Lara's boots. Anniversary might be a 3rd person shooter, there are no cover-based elements like Uncharted. You're always out in the open with your duel pistols and unlimited ammo. And auto aim I believe, can't remember the option to turn that off.
As you can read I'm not all too enhousiastic about Anniversary. But I think it's because I played it after Legend and Underworld, which I find much much better. Yet Anniversary is a good start, cause it's only gonna get better after that.
…and Ankadewo. If you can sent me the picture you want for an avatar, I'll fix a link for you if you want.
