Tomb Raider - PlayStation
Tomb Raider was crafted by Core Design of Europe, who took 18 months to develop it. When Core decided that puzzles and stealth should be more important to the game than action, they found that these requirements better suited a female character than a classic male action hero.
Lara's famous breast size was in actuality brought about by accident. Toby Gard, Lara Croft's creator, was adjusting the model when he accidentally blew up Lara's bosom to 150% of what he intended it to be. As he was resizing it back to normal, the other designers saw what he was working on and told him they loved it.

Tomb Raider II: Starring Lara Croft - PlayStation
Development of Tomb Raider II was underway before the first game was released, but two key members of the team had left – most notably Lara's creator Toby Gard, who was replaced by Stuart Atkinson. But with an increased budget, the team was expanded and took a shorter amount of time to develop, also helped by the re-use of the same Tomb Raider engine. Lara's appearance was given a make-over by the new designer, giving her a free-flowing pony tail, a smoother appearance, and several new outfits.

Tomb Raider III: The Adventures of Lara Croft... - PlayStation
The gameplay of Tomb Raider III picks up where Tomb Raider II left off. Once again, Lara's range of abilities has been expanded, now including such moves as the crouch stance, crawling, a sprinting move and the ability to "monkey swing" on overhead bars and vines. Also, a sprinting feature allows Lara to gain a burst of speed while running, until her stamina bar is used up.

Tomb Raider IV: The Last Revelation - PlayStation
The critical response was somewhat mixed with gaming review sites such as GameSpot saying: "The Last Revelation is far and away the best of the sequels", while other critics complained how the game's mechanics remained practically untouched, along with what some felt was frustrating camera positioning and similar graphics engine. The ending was also criticized, as some felt the game implied that Lara Croft dies in the last scene.

Tomb Raider: Chronicles - PlayStation
The gameplay of Tomb Raider Chronicles is closely tied to that of The Last Revelation. In terms of movement, the only new additions to Lara's skills are the ability to walk on a tightrope, the ability to grab and swing on horizontal bars and the ability to drop from a ledge forwards while crouching.
Although graphically praised as one of the best installments in the series, the game was subject to numerous criticisms, primarily due to its lack of originality. Many felt the Tomb Raider formula had been stretched to its limits; in addition, the game still used the engine from the original Tomb Raider, which despite tweaking began to show its age.

Tomb Raider: The Angel of Darkness - PlayStation 2
The highly anticipated sixth Tomb Raider was to be the most ambitious yet, with improved graphics and a new look for Lara coupled with an involving storyline. However, The Angel of Darkness would prove to be the worst-received game in the series. It was heavily criticized for its flaws which included numerous bugs, drastically different controls from previous releases, poor gaming structure, plot holes in the storyline, and lack of actual tombs (majority of the game takes place in urban areas such as a nightclub).
The amount of criticism the game provoked caused the series' publishers, Eidos Interactive, to dump developers Core Design and go with a new development team, Crystal Dynamics, for future Tomb Raider titles.

Lara Croft Tomb Raider: Legend - Xbox 360
Tomb Raider: Legend was released to widely positive reviews by the media and from many Lara Croft fans. Many herald it as a tribute to the classic gameplay of the original 1996 Tomb Raider. The game was also a commercial success, leading to a re-envisioning of the original game in Tomb Raider: Anniversary.

Lara Croft Tomb Raider: Legend - PlayStation 2
Crystal Dynamics, Lara Croft's new developers, wanted to give her "the look of action and athleticism, and retain her beauty and sensuality, but without making her look creepy". They've certainly achieved it with a more muscle-bound heroine - almost cartoon-esque, but still very identifiably Lara.

The original Xbox version does not include the introduction movie with the opening titles. According to Xboxic, the manager of the Xbox development team genuinely forgot to include the intro video on the final build disc when sending it off for the final game testing with Microsoft's Quality Assurance team.

Lara Croft Tomb Raider: Legend - GameCube
The GameCube version has had a couple of cuts, most likely due to disc space. The rolling demos that play while in the title screen have been removed, and the Unfortunate Mishaps video is also missing. The many filters used for explosions and motion blur are also gone, rendering the game with sharper textures but less remarkable explosions. However the game runs at a slightly smoother framerate than the PS2 version, and it also loads faster.

Lara Croft: Tomb Raider Anniversary - PlayStation 2
'Anniversary' is not a true remake of the original Tomb Raider. Crystal Dynamics has rebuilt the game from the ground up, improving on Tomb Raider's visuals, added a good amount of new content, but also removed a great deal of old locales from the original. Overall, the game is shorter and some of the puzzles have been simplified from the 1996 version.

Lara Croft: Tomb Raider Anniversary - PlayStation Portable
The PSP version of Tomb Raider: Anniversary suffers from poor controls, due in part to some imprecision with the analog stick. Other minor sacrifices were made, such as using the shoulder buttons to rotate the camera, and the triangle button to reset the camera position. This works well enough most of the time, though during combat it gets frustrating because you have to hold down both shoulder buttons to lock onto an enemy.

Action-adventure exploration games featuring the game icon Lara Croft.

Lara and the games' backgrounds have since been adapted into two major Hollywood movies, with Angelina Jolie as the main actress.
Lara Croft: Tomb Raider
Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life
There are two different continuities to the game series. The first encompassing the first six games, and the second starting with Legend and including Anniversary. Although Anniversary is a remake of the original Tomb Raider, the story has been revised to fit into the second continuity.
The first continuity is often referred to as the Core Design continuity and the second is usually referred to as the Crystal Dynamics continuity, based on the company that developed each game. Differences between the continuities are particularly apparent in Lara Croft’s backstory, as well as her personality. Croft Manor also looks extremely different between the continuities. It could also be stated that there are additional continuities in the Tomb Raider series as the movies and comic books have significant differences from the games.
The movies utilise bits of both continuities; for example, Croft Manor is almost identical to the second continuity, but the backstory follows the first continuity somewhat.
