Played several hours (completed Peru) and it's been great. Controls take some getting used-to, but now things are going quite smoothly. Graphics look great (better than the GC TR: Legend release, but I have no idea how it stacks-up to the 360 version).
Only issue I have so far is with aiming. Sometimes you'll slam into a pole while some wolves/whatever are after you, and you'll be disoriented because the camera will be in an off position. I haven't died from it yet, but it's worth noting.
The added Wii controls are done really well. You can dust, trowel, pickaxe wall areas now for clues/bonus items. You move levers, cogs, etc. You also do motions during some cutscenes, which were unexpected but neat.
Overall a very solid game so far that's worth checking out.

Wait, you actually get to be an archaeologist in between all the action and breast physics? Sold!

You should! "Budget" priced too ($39.99).

I tried Tomb Raider Legend for the GC but that game quickly put me to sleep. In contrast, I'm loving Anniversary's opening levels "Peru" and their design, they're quite fast-paced and the frequent checkpoints save me A LOT of hassle. The controls work and it's fun to get around, but I'm still always surprised when I pick up a tomb raider game and it's slower paced than I expect, the sort of comparison an FPS player might make when switching to the Metroid Prime series.
I ended up playing maybe 3 hours yesterday unintentionally, losing track of time! That's always a good sign!

Oy vey, my habits of buying waaaay too many games are in stark contrast to my suckage at said games, as well as a general lack of time to play them! As a result, I sometimes open up a new game several months old to discover that the game is really enjoyable... and I've completely missed the boat about when everyone else is talking about it!
