Background

Since the game is oriented to the action of the first, part of the series, coming figures like Zip and Alister that in Tomb Raider - The Chronicle or Tomb Raider: Legend were introduced, not before. Instead of the magnetic hook from Legend Lara used a grappling hook with which they can run along on walls. The classic "Ring Inventory " from the first three parts are also used again. In Anniversary Lara fights exclusively with animals, mythical creatures or dinosaurs, people on the other hand kill them only in non-interactive scenes. For this reason, the game is already released over 12.

The soundtrack is by Troels Brun Folmann, who already had the music for the previous Tomb Raider: Legend and later the successor Tomb Raider: Underworld composed.
