* NintendoHard

'''Tomb Raider: Anniversary''' contains examples of:
* ArcWelding: [[spoiler: It turned out that Anniversary was partially made so Natla could be added into the Legend/Underworld story arc]]
* CirclingMonologue: Natla does it to Lara during her WeCanRuleTogether speech.
* GenreBlindness: One of the lines spoken by the final boss during a cutscene: "Sooner or later, you're going to run out of bullets." Looks like she forgot that this is, after all, a TombRaider game, and our heroine Lara Croft is the poster girl for BottomlessMagazines. 
* GreyDelisle: As Jacqueline Natla.
* InsistentTerminology: Lost Island, NOT Atlantis.
* JustifiedTutorial: When approaching the destination, your guide breaks the ladder, forcing you to climb up using other terrain. Tutorial messages tell you how to proceed. 
* LimitBreak: This is explained when you reach the T-Rex - the meter below the bosses' health is the rage meter which increases if you keep attacking. When it fills, the T-Rex attempts a powerful attack, which you can exploit ForMassiveDamage. 
* KeeleyHawes: As Lara Croft.
* NuclearOption: In the remake, the explosion reveals a winged beast flying out of the burning grounds.
* PressXToNotDie: ''Anniversary'' introduces Quick Time Events, which require the player to hit a certain arrow key when it shows up on screen. Failing to do so will result in Lara dying. 
* RealIsBrown: It's not shy about busting out lush foliage in Peru, but for pretty much the entire rest of the game you're looking at a whole lot of grey and brown ruins and mining tunnels.
* RuleOfCool / RuleOfFun: While it mostly applies (and takes various areas/puzzles from the original UpToEleven), it is defied with some levels and sequences, where realism seems have taken precedence compared to the original.
* SceneryPorn: The main reason for remaking it, with most updated areas expanded to twice the original scale just to evoke this. Needless to say, things look prettier than in the PS1 days.
* SequelHook: [[spoiler:Qualopec gets up out of his throne, Tihocan's body is missing from its coffin, and Natla swears "This is only one remnant of Atlantis! I will find another!]]
* ShoutOut: In the developer commentary, they explain that the ark was removed from the manor, because it may have been trademarked. 
* TheseHandsHaveKilled: Lara stares at her hands after killing [[spoiler: Larson]] and even repeatedly wipes her hands afterwards.
* VideoGameRemake: A remake of Tomb Raider for the PS1 with vastly superior graphics and voice work. New puzzles and enemies were also added.
* WeCanRuleTogether: Near the end of the game [[spoiler: Natla]] offers Lara the chance to rule at [[spoiler: her]] side.
