Lara Croft Tomb Raider: Legend announced

As first hinted at in March of last year, Lara Croft will soon make her debut on the PSP. Eidos Interactive today announced that Lara Croft Tomb Raider: Legend will be released this spring for the PSP, PS2, and Xbox. The game is "grounded in the series' tomb raiding roots and built to challenge even the most accomplished serial adventurer," according to the developer.

Lara Croft Tomb Raider: Legend revives the athletic, intelligent and entertaining adventurer who won the hearts and minds of gamers worldwide. Lara comes alive with intricately animated expressions, moves and abilities. An arsenal of modern equipment, such as a magnetic grappling device, binoculars, frag grenades, personal lighting device and communications equipment, allows gamers to experience tomb raiding as never before. Based largely on the PS2 version of the game, the PSP version of Tomb Raider: Legend also features a number of exclusive game modes together with a host of Bonus Reward Content.
