Tomb Raider Anniversary - Wii Edition

[RyokoYaksa]

This game's already out for the PS2 and PC platforms, and will soon enough be available on the PSP and Xbox 360 (With HD support).

In November (?) this game completes its magical threeway to the Nintendo Wii platform. But it's not just a direct port with Wii controls, the Wii version will have also exclusive content to highlight the Wii's control scheme.

-Wii Remote and Nunchuk control
-Free aim with Wii Remote
-On-screen cursor used for flashlight beam that you can contract and expand by tilting the Remote to search for secrets and clues. Crystal Dynamics is reworking some areas of the game to put the flashlight to better use.
-Flick Nunchuk to dodge and speed up climbing/shimmying
-Flick Nunchuk to deploy grappling hook
-Use the Remote to make charcoal rubbings of artifacts, draw symbols in sand to solve puzzles, and tinker with ancient Rube Goldberg mechanisms.

For the final touch, here's a quick promo with one of the game's senior designers showing this in video, goin in depth about the additon of the "archeologist's toolkit."

Yep, this game looks like the definitive Tomb Raider installment, moreso than its releases on other systems.

man, that looks so awesome. I haven't played the tomb raider series since the original psone days, but this looks like it has the potential to be one of the most awesome wii adventure games around

I'm not really a fan of games requiring you to check nooks and crannies for clues, but if the Wiimote is successfully used in revealing the clues, and makes it somewhat fun, this game might be one for me.
