I am wondering everyone's opinion to be fair I have only played the TR 2013, but I want to play the earlier ones!

What are your thoughts? Which do you think is better! I am playing anniversary to get into the franchise because it works better on PC in my opinion! What are your thoughts? Let me know!

Well my first experiences with Tomb Raider are the same as yours, Kan. I played the 2013 Tomb Raider as well, enjoyed it :p however, not very memorable to me since I barely remember anything from it. It is far from being a favorite game of mine but it was a really good game overall, in story, the environment, the music, Lara Croft was great, I enjoyed the survival aspect of the game etc. I heard that the old games were great too and I can believe that even if I have never played or watched them.

It is sad to say, but the originals on the Playstation scared the heck out of me.. I remember being too scared to play because of the wolves haha... I was young...

I enjoyed the 2013 remake, I like the new style Lara, not just a pretty face with 2 other assets any more!

me as a big tomb raider fan i gotta say i love all the tomb raider games but the old ones i love because i feel like the new ones took some of the feel out of the old games but honestly i love the new games as well so bottom line they are all great in their own way

I can get that. From what I have heard a lot of people say the new game feels like an uncharted game with Lara Croft on it instead of a true tomb raider.

Why I did like the story aspect of 2013, my biggest question was... how does this tie in with tomb raiding? Then we got the little tombs throughout the way and I was kind of let down.

yeah thats what i was trying to get at with my answer i liked the story and things but it didnt tie in with the older ones at all its almost like its a whole new different tomb raider and thats the side that i didnt like with it

I don't mind re-telling a story, but from what I gather here it didn't even pay homage to the original story we had.
