Tomb Raider: Anniversary (PS2)

Product Information

According to the NPD Group, Legend was the third bestselling game in North America during April. [105] In Australia, the PS2 and 360 versions were both among the top ten best-selling titles during the weeks following their release. [106] Within a month of its release, all versions of the game had sold 2.9 million copies combined by the end of June 2006. [107] According to different estimates, in 2009, the game had sold between 3 and 4.5 million copies worldwide. This made it the second bestselling Tomb Raider game after the 1999 release of The Last Revelation and the fifth bestselling game in the series at that point. [108] [109] The game was initially announced for PlayStation 2 (PS2), Xbox and Windows personal computers (PC). [34] Legend marked the Tomb Raider series' debut on Microsoft game consoles with versions for both the Xbox and its successor the Xbox 360 (360). The 360 version acted as the Tomb Raider series' debut on seventh generation consoles. [43] The 360 version incorporated new visual effects and lighting mechanics. [43] While the base engine was carried over from the other versions, the lighting system needed to be entirely rewritten. The 360 version was given equal development priority with the PS2 version. [44] After the success of Lego Star Wars: The Video Game on the GameCube, Eidos decided to port Tomb Raider: Legend to that platform, marking the series' first appearance on a Nintendo home console. The GameCube version was a port of the PS2 and Xbox versions. [45] Despite the Nintendo versions being released close to the Wii's launch, Crystal Dynamics could not consider developing a Wii version of Legend because they did not obtain software development kits for that system until they shifted efforts towards developing Anniversary. [46] Released on October 25th, 1996, the original Tomb Raider remains one of the best selling video games on the original PlayStation, and was the best-selling entry of the Tomb Raider franchise until its 2013 remaster (more on that later). While the graphics may leave something to be desired compared to modern standards, the 3d format was innovative for its time, along with the grid-based level design.

By modern standards, the platforming is as stiff as old-school Lara’s acting, but there’s no denying the original Tomb Raider is one of the most influential video games of all time. While most developers were struggling to get to grips with the original PlayStation and Sega Saturn, Core Design casually dropped an all-time classic action-adventure out of seemingly nowhere. a b "Tomb Raider Underworld: Podcast Interview with Troels Folmann".
