In January , when asked if the game would be available on Nintendo's Wii U console, Crystal Dynamics global brand director Karl Stewart responded there are no plans to have the game available on that platform. According to Stewart, the reason for this is that 'it would not be right' for the game to simply be ported, as the developers built the game to be platform-specific before the Wii U was announced, and goes on to mention that if they started building the game for the platform '[they] would build it very differently and [they] would build it with unique functionality.
He said: 'We're doing things that are completely new to Tomb Raider in this game, and the additional development time will allow us to put the finishing touches into the game and polish it to a level that you deserve. We believe this is the right choice, and I guarantee it will be worth the wait.

The trailer confirmed the presence of several other non-playable characters besides Lara on the island, many of which appear to be part of a menacing organization. They were shown at Eurogamer Expo at London on 27 September. At the beginning, an introduction was made by Camilla Luddington and during the event, the trailer was followed by a musical orchestra, led by the music composer, Jason Graves. Each day from Monday to Friday, exclusive previews, features and trailers were released, showing more details for the upgrading system, survival tools and challenge tombs.
The Tomb Raider: Original Soundtrack was released on 5 March , alongside the game's worldwide release. A podcast was released by Game Informer on 21 December , featuring a 'sneak peek at a track from the game itself' [30] composed by Aleksandar Dimitrijevic.
We officially haven't announced the composer for the game'. In the Making of Turning Point , sound designer Alex Wilmer explained that the unannounced composer had remotely directed an in-house concert violinist to perform the 'very intimate' piece.
Grillo stated that 'We're doing this overture Along with using objects like mallets to create odd musical sounds, Graves, with the help of neighbouring architect Matt McConnell, created a special percussion instrument that would create a variety of odd signature sounds to mix in with the rest of the orchestral score.
Although the location was set in the locale of Japan, Graves did not want Japanese instrumentation: instead, he chose sounds and themes that would be indicative of the scavengers on the island, who came from multiple regions of the globe.
Using different percussion instruments in different ways, he was able to create the feeling of 'founds sounds'. However, it was released early in Australia, being available on 1 March Unlike the previous installments that received a T rating, Tomb Raider is the first game in the series to receive an M rating by the ESRB, due to blood and gore, intense violence and strong language.
Prior to the game's release, various stores offered extra items as a way of attracting customers to order the game from their store. Best Buy orders received the Tomb Raider: The Beginning , a page hardcover graphic novel, written by the game's lead writer Rhianna Pratchett, and telling the story of 'how the ill-fated voyage of the Endurance came to be'.

A limited edition wireless controller for the Xbox was also released on 5 March This map pack consists of two new multiplayer maps, entitled 'Dogfight' and 'Forest Meadow'.

The editor regarded the quality of the visuals, the length and depth of the gameplay, and the 'spectacular' last third of the game as the highlights.
The summary said 'sitting back exhausted we were left with just one question dribbling forth from our gaping jaws. How on earth are they going to top this in the sequel? Because of one thing there can be no doubt. Lara is back. They gave the game an overall score of 9. Taljonick also felt that the game had great pacing, and that it is 'unrivaled by any other game in the genre'. Furthermore, the reviewer considered Lara's character development as 'an integral part' of the whole game's experience, and concluded that Tomb Raider 'is a fantastic game and an excellent origin story for one of gaming's original treasure seekers'.
One of the major criticisms of the game stemmed from a disparity between the emotional thrust of the story and the actions of the player, with GameTrailers' Justin Speer pointing out that while the story attempted to characterise Lara Croft as vulnerable and uncomfortable with killing, the player was encouraged to engage enemies aggressively and use brutal tactics to earn more experience points.
Speer felt that this paradoxical approach ultimately let the game down as it undermined Lara's character to the point where he found it difficult to identify with her at all. While on the subject of character development, GamesRadar's Ryan Taljonick expressed that the supporting characters were underdeveloped relative to Lara Croft, describing them as 'pretty generic characters who, while rarely annoying, just aren't memorable'.
While many reviews applauded the single-player campaign, the multiplayer mode bore the brunt of the game's criticism, with MacDonald, Speer and Miller all finding fault with it, describing it as lackluster and stating that the difference between the developer's vision for the game mode and the finished product made it difficult to enjoy.
Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition received positive reviews. PC and Mac saves for the Unfinished Business bonus levels are below. Saves for other games are linked in the sidebar. If you're unfamiliar with this process, I highly recommend following the installation instructions step by step. The downloads listed below include various save points for each level, including all secrets and following most difficult sequences.
Each of the downloads linked below includes a 'readme' text file listing the in-game locations for the saves in that level.
For a complete list of all TR1 saves, see here. Level 5: St. A text document with details is included in the download. The download includes a PDF document with details about each save. These were made using the ePSXe emulator but can also be transferred to a PlayStation console using a memory card and a card reader like DexDrive. For more info, see here and here. It is also possible to transfer these virtual memory card saves to PSP.
Click here for instructions. Special thanks to Eldin for sharing these files. Level 5: Offshore Rig 34 KB. Level Tibetan Foothills 34 KB. Each file also includes a text document describing the location of each save. In Tomb Raider, every time you save your game, a file is created containing information about your progress so far—Lara's location, health status, inventory, items found and used, enemies killed, etc.
When you reload a game you have previously saved, your computer or console interprets the savegame file and restores Lara and her world to the way they were when you saved. Computer users can manipulate these files outside of game play using savegame editors.
We can also trade saves with other players just as we would share text files, pictures or other documents—by saving the files on a disk, sending them as email attachments or placing them on a web server to be downloaded, as I have here. Save files can be useful if you get stuck in a game, accidentally make a bad save such as when Lara is about to die , encounter a bug or glitch that prevents you from progressing, or just want to skip to a particular section or level.
