Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis is aiming to preserve the feel of Lara Croft's original adventure on PC, right down to the frantic jumps and somersaults needed to survive encounters with wolves and velociraptors. Developers Crystal Dynamics and Flying Wild Hog have confirmed that the acrobatic movement from the first game carries over into this fresh take.
