Tomb Raider: Anniversary is a fairly new game for the Tomb Raider series. The game is based around the first movie in the Tomb Raider series, Tomb Raider: Anniversary. The game comes with an entirely new story that ties in with the later games in the Tomb Raider series. It's worth noting, however, that Tomb Raider Anniversary doesn't have any type of story mode - instead, you are required to complete a series of puzzles in order to move on to the next area. Also, it has been reported that a lot of people are having problems getting this game to run properly on their computers, mainly due to the fact that it uses the Windows registry to store various settings, files and options.
Tomb Raider Secret of the Sword looks and sounds quite a bit like Tomb Raider Anniversary, as you would expect from the turn-based action and puzzle-solving adventure. The action is quite varied, with tomahawk attacks, axe swinging and, of course, climbing walls. The action gets pretty hectic when you're trying to save the princess, and you'll probably find yourself just running around quite a lot, taking cover and shooting at anything that seems to be an enemy. The fighting is pretty relentless, especially when you factor in the physics engine that helps keep everything looking as it should.
Tomb Raider Secret of the Sword has an in-game guide which explains a lot more about the game in terms of objectives and hidden items. As well as the in-game guide, Tomb Raider Secret of the Sword also features a number of videos, which take you through the game's different stages and give you a quick look at some of Tomb Raider's better weapons and abilities. All these videos are available for free, although you do have to sign up to play the game to access them. The guide and videos really do give you an excellent look at Tomb Raider's various tools and how they work together, although the game can be a little rough around the edges when it comes to implementing some of these features.
The Tomb Raider demo allows you to play through Tomb Raider: Anniversary using the 'powers' that the game gives you, as well as 'frenzy' powers which are unlocked as you progress through the game. You can view a short video walkthrough of Tomb Raider: Anniversary at the bottom of this article, but in order to get the 'super mode' feature, you need to purchase the game on steam. This will unlock the 'powers' and other stuff for playing through the game without having to buy the Tomb Raider Secret of the Sword demo.
If you like shooting games and want to try something different, then the Tomb Raider: Anniversary Shooting gallery is your answer. The Tomb Raider Shooting gallery is where you can perform five special attacks with guns in Tomb Raider Anniversary. For this gallery, you need to purchase Tomb Raider: Anniversary instead of the standard game. The bonus consists of five bonus shots that you can perform in Tomb Raider: Anniversary with each gun that you have. These five Tomb Raider shooting scenes take place in between the first and second sunlight breaks in the game. Although you need to purchase the Tomb Raider: Anniversary Shooting gallery in order to gain access to these bonus attacks, the benefit they come with is well worth the price.
Another unique feature of Tomb Raider: Anniversary is the ability to purchase and download three free spins of Tomb Raider: Anniversary. The Tomb Raider: Anniversary free spinner consists of one mission and one weapon. This spin is included with the standard version of Tomb Raider: Anniversary, but can be found on a different page. To gain access to these free spins, you need to buy the Tomb Raider Anniversary Collector's Edition, which costs $50 or more. These freebies come with a limited time period and are only available during certain times in the year.
