Tomb Raider Anniversary looking less chunky in new screens

A fresh batch of screen shots from Lara Croft's upcoming Tomb Raider Anniversary go-round on the PSP shows a prettier and less "chunkier" Tomb Raider than Legend was, though at this point we're more curious as to how it plays. Last year's Tomb Raider Legend turned out pretty decent, but frame rate issues, chunky textures and clunky controls hurt the overall reception of the title. Feast your eyes on the recent released screenshots of the PSP-bound title and let us know if this reiteration is still on your radar. Despite the slight delay from its original June release, Tomb Raider Anniversary is still on the agenda for a late July arrival. Lets hope the extra time spent on its development results in a classier and smoother ride.

Why, just why do all the publishers have to outsource their PSP games to inferior teams? I'd really like to see what Crystal Dynamics can achieve with PSP hardware, but instead it gets outsourced to such a no-name team like Buzzmonkey Software.

Perhaps, but 'Anniversary' - assuming it is like the PC version - is more than just an updated version of the original. It has been totally reworked around the TR"Legend engine, and runs smooth as silk (again, on PC) with all new areas and puzzles and other content.

In other words - it is the same, but better!
