One of just a handful of titles to be released as a boxed game at traditional retail outlets and as a digital download via Microsoft’s online network, Eidos’ Tomb Raider: Anniversary has finally arrived on Xbox Live.
A remake of the seven million plus selling 1996 classic Tomb Raider, the game charts the exploits of tomb-raiding heroine Lara Croft as she jumps, swings and shoots her way through Peru, Greece, Egypt and Great Britain in search of a mythical object called the Scion.
Already available as a standalone title in stores, the game is now available via Xbox Live in the form of two downloadable packs. The packs cost 1200 Microsoft points each, and combined will take up 3GB of hard drive storage space.
Microsoft’s Xbox Arcade Collection and Bethesda’s Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion expansions are the only other titles to appear both as boxed games in stores and as digital downloads on Microsoft’s online network.
Rather than being a straightforward port of the original, developer Crystal Dynamics used an enhanced version of last year’s Tomb Raider Legend engine to optimize the experience. Additionally, protagonist Lara has a range of new moves - taken directly from Legend - not featured in the original game.
The Wii version of Tomb Raider: Anniversary, already in stores stateside, will hit European retail outlets on December 7.
Eidos have released information on plans to roll out a full retail game for xbox 360 utilizing the xbox 360 live marketplace..
Eidos will release Tomb Raider Anniversary for Xbox 360 via the Live Markeplace this autumn - the first time a full retail game has been rolled out via downloads.
The title will be avalable in four episodes; the first two will be released with a training mission in September, with the next two arriving shortly afterwards. A full retail version won't be released until later in the year.
"We have created this version of Anniversary specifically for digital distribution as episodic content," said SCi's chief executive Jane Cavanagh.
