TR Anniversary - 4.5 stars / 5.5 stars - read on as to why... October 26, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I am still playing TR-Anniversary, so here's my thoughts at this point.
The graphics are absolutely amazing. I have played every single TR for Mac since the first and it's hard to believe how detailed they are from what they once were (at the time, I used to think they were amazing then, but now, WOW).
~ I can't wait till the next TR becomes available for Mac! ~
For those who have played TR before, the plot will be familiar. The storyline may also be familiar.
I have two main criticisms...
I highly recommend playing the Manor first... Get used to the new controls (which are customisable as before), but more importantly, get used to Lara's movements. I find her movements frustrating to get used to, such as her direction of movement in-conjunction with the direction in which she faces. It's progress though and takes some getting used too.
Lara is much faster moving than previously where you could be more precise with her movements, such as jumps and walking (note: in Walk mode she will now fall off cliffs, so be careful). I really miss the Look mode as I enjoyed investigating. I will also add, her foes are also faster moving, but having said that she seems to run & swim slower and doesn't jump as high as before, which actually makes her appear to be more real.
Having said that, interactions with her surroundings are again, WOW. For example, when Lara moves objects, they move in 3D, as in reality and don't follow a grid-like pattern. Picking up objects is easy (I remember a previous game where it was a bit of a precise issue).
Lara has some really awesome movements which she has either, never had before or are so vastly improved.
I give TR Anniversary 5 stars because 4.5 stars is not available. I am deducting .5 of a star for adjusting to her new movements as noted above and I give 5.5 stars to the graphics, the detail, her interactions with her surroundings, her new moves and everything else.
I'll say it again, I can't wait for the next TR for Mac !!!

I really enjoy this game. Have had no issues running it on my macbook pro. The only drawback is the controls. I am playing this with a game pad. I thought that the controls would be similar to other versions of TR I have played. It makes it challenging and frustrating at times.
It's a GREAT VIDEO GAME August 29, 2008
TOMB RAIDER IS A GREAT VIDEOGAME. I'M PLAYING IT NOW. I'M WAITING TOMB RAIDER UNDERWORLD FOR MAC OSX. THANKS.
Lara is back & she's gorgeous & tough! March 30, 2008
Very good looking game with all the excitement of the original versions. The graphics look fantastic on my MacBook Pro, 2.6 Ghz w/512MB video RAM. This game is a lot of fun! If you are a Tomb Raider fan I highly recommend it!
Yes, it runs on the MacBook...if... March 28, 2008

I have a new MacBook 2.2 Core 2 Duo with the GMA X3100 graphics chip in it, and the game runs just fine.
The only time it slows down a bit is when you enter a large portion of a map and it has to dump it all into the memory all at once, like when you first enter the field before the T-Rex battle.
The game will slow down a bit for a couple of seconds then pick right back up after the map is loaded.
Of course, you can futz with the graphic options to minimize the effect of that happening, but I like cool graphics, so I'm not going to!
