Lara Croft's superb re-quel, Tomb Raider: Anniversary, has finally clambered onto the Xbox Live Marketplace after being unearthed in June and delayed from an initial September release. If you missed it on the PlayStation 2, the PSP, the PC or even the Xbox 360 (in ancient disc format), now's your chance to relive the iconic grave robber's best adventure in the form of two downloadable chunks. The catch, of course, is that it functions as Tomb Raider: Legend DLC and will require you to have that disc handy.
Each half of the game will set you back roughly 1.5GB in bandwidth and 1,200 MS Points ($15) -- in combination, that puts it on par with the PS2 version and $10 beneath the disc-based Xbox 360 version. If this still isn't the opportune moment to explore Lara's treasure-laden crevices, you still have the hands-on Wii version to try out (it's out in the UK too this December).

Was interested in downloading this until I saw the part about having to have the disc. Lame.

Get your facts straight, Ludwig. Tomb Raider Wii came out over a week ago:

The fact was correct but the context wasn't. Corrected!

This game is great; you owe it to yourself to play it, ESPECIALLY if you loved TombRaider 1.

I owe it to myself? What, to give a studio who didn't make the original money for remaking a perfectly playable original game?
I played the original more times than I can remember.

I played the original Tomb Raider on my PC, and the appearance and chase by the T-Rex still ranks as one of the greatest moments in game history to me.

Considering this was a full price release in Australia just a couple weeks ago at around $90 here, compared to lets see current exchange rate, about $34, kind of a bargain.

The original Tomb Raider was beyond epic, here they pretty much ruined every boss battle with some stupid rules, like having the T-Rex run into pilers, made the vast open areas that you would normally explore much smaller and added nothing but ledge to ledge platforming.
Also screwed up Larson's voice and got rid of him as a boss battle.
