Tomb Raider - Anniversary.png

Tomb Raider: Anniversary is the eighth game in the Tomb Raider series. Tomb Raider: Anniversary is a remake of the first Tomb Raider from 1996. Tomb Raider: Anniversary sold only 1.5 million copies. Tomb Raider: Anniversary was released in 2007 for Playstation 2, XBOX360, Nintendo Wii, and PC. Tomb Raider: Anniversary was the first game released for Wii in the series. I have a walkthrough of Tomb Raider: Anniversary which I made and then replaced it with Tomb Raider 1 and it shares the same levels with Tomb Raider 1.

And, In The Last Revelation, Werner Von Croy helps her but the temple crushes Lara Croft. It was sad, but we are thankful Lara Croft gets to live past 31.

Tomb Raider: Chronicles



Tomb Raider: Chronicles (Tomb Raider 5) is the fifth game in the Tomb Raider franchise. Tomb Raider: Chronicles was released in 2000 for the Sony Playstation, Sega Dreamcast, and PC. Core Design said that Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation would be the last Tomb Raider game in the franchise because Lara Croft "died" in the Last Revelation and in Chronicles you go Lara Croft's adventures in the past before she "died" in the Last Revelation and then Core Design made The Angel of Darkness in 2003 where Lara Croft comes back to life and in Chronicles she is stated as dead and in Tomb Raider: Chronicles you lose all your pickups after you complete each level. Tomb Raider: Chronicles has a new feature, Tightrope Walking. Three of Lara's friends, Winston Smith, Charles Kane, and Patrick Dunstan talk about her past adventures and those adventures turn out to be the levels. Tomb Raider: Chronicles has the same engine as The Last Revelation and it has the same features expect for Werner Von Croy does not appear in Chronicles but he is talked about in Chronicles. And the adventures that happen in Chronicles lead up to the events that happen in the Last Revelation. Some enemies from the first Tomb Raider appear like Pierre DuPont and Larson Conway. The levels of Tomb Raider: Chronicles are:

Rome:
1. Streets of Rome
2. Trajan's Markets
3. The Colosseum

Russian Submarine:
4. The Base
5. The Submarine
6. Deepsea Dive
7. Sinking Sub

Tomb Raider: The Angel of Darkness



Tomb Raider: The Angel of Darkness is the sixth game in the Tomb Raider franchise. Tomb Raider: The Angel of Darkness came out in 2003 for Sony Playstation 2, Microsoft Windows, and Mac OS X. The Angel of Darkness is the second least sold Tomb Raider game with 2.5 million copies sold, because of Core Design splitting into two teams to create Chronicles and The Angel of Darkness. Within 1 year into production of making The Angel of Darkness, Core Design wanted scrapped their ideas and wanted a more darker storyline and The Angel of Darkness was an uncomplete game when it came out. The reasons are the a.i (the intelligence) of the enemy like say Lara was next to a security guard that, security guard would do nothing, and another problem was that Lara would barely make a jump, and in the Playstation 2 version they switched which button for jump for circle and jump was supposed to be X and now Roll is circle, so if you want to jump you might just roll. Core Design wanted The Angel of Darkness's release date to close to the second Tomb Raider movie coming out which came out on July 25,2003 (Tomb Raider: The Cradle Of Life) and The Angel of Darkness came out in June 2003. The Angel of Darkness takes place in Paris and Prague. The story talks about Lara Croft being framed for Werner Von Croy's death. Lara Croft comes back to life after her "death" in the end of The Last Revelation. In the Angel of Darkness, Lara Croft has a limited amount of time to shimmy and you need to build stamina in order to pull a box or open a door and that was one stupid feature they added to the game and that all the other Tomb Raider games didn't have. Meaning that Lara Croft's evolution made her chest bigger and you pick up Chocolate in The Angel of Darkness as a health pack instead of getting more energy and strength and that made it confusing and that's why The Angel of Darkness should of had Medi Packs like we had in the first 5 games. And the real killer of Werner Von Croy was Eckhardt (the final boss in the game). The levels of Angel of Darkness are:

Paris:

1. Parisian Back Streets
2. Derelict Apartment Block
3. Industrial Roof Tops
4. Margot Carvier's Apartment
