Great Anniversary - Reviewed on 2008-11-29
Tomb Raider Anniversary for Wii is pretty much the same as TB:A on an system. Same great game, same decent graphics, same 15-25 hours of play(depending on skill and unlockables). What is different on Wii is the inclusion of a few new puzzles. What was simple a switch in, for example, the PS2 version, is now series of switches that must be aligned. There are variations to the puzzles, which add a little bit of fun, but in the end the Wii-exclusive content adds little to the overall expierence.
What does make the Wii version supirior (at least in my opinion) is the free aim shooting. In previous games, Laras shooting mechanics revolve around locking on, and pressing a button as fast as possble. In the Wii game, you must manuely aim you weapon and fire. At first it makes things more complicated, and the riticlue may seem hypersensitive, but after a while of play, youll get used to both the sensitivity and awesome-ness of the free aiming mechanics.
All in all, this is a great game and a steal for [...]. Just dont go looking for a new expierence in the Wii version if youve already played the game on a different console.
