Summary

Tomb Raider: Anniversary is a remake of the original Tomb Raider with a technically more advanced graphics engine. It has the same basic storyline, though some cutscenes and much of the dialogue within have been expanded or modified in other ways. Locations correspond to those of the original version and are accessed in the same order, but have been re-designed with different layouts and mostly completely different puzzles which allow implementation of new moves: swinging on ropes and using a grappling hook at specific points.

Storyline

Lara Croft has been hired by a mysterious woman named Natla to find a lost and very powerful artifact known as the Scion, a mystical artifact said to originate on the lost continent of Atlantis. She believes the Scion to be a repository of ancient knowledge that can help solve the mystery of her mother's disappearance.
