Overall, while the graphics are considered good for a game of its time (2007), they may not meet the expectations set by more modern titles.
“The graphics and overall presentation of the game are impressive, and the new Tomb Raider engine helps to create an immersive experience.”
“The graphics still look nice and mostly aged well, thanks to the art style.”
“Tomb Raider: Anniversary is a fantastic remake upgrading the graphics to full HD quality, upgrading the sound and the controls and gameplay mechanics without losing touch with the feel of the original game.”
“The graphics look like a cookie cutter mobile game today.”
“This game isn't just a mere video game; it's a time machine that whisks you away to the golden era of Windows 95, CRT monitors, and chunky pixelated graphics.”
“The graphics are laughably blocky (let's face it, even for its time, Tomb Raider wasn't pretty) and we've got those terrible, muddy, low-res textures... but beyond the superficial cosmetic stuff, there's the unrefined gameplay and especially shoddy controls.”
