Tomb Raider Legend [Beta]

Tomb Raider Legend is the first “Tomb Raider” game by Crystal Dynamics. The final game was released in 2006, for Xbox, PlayStation 2, PSP, PC, GameCube, Game Boy Advance and Nintendo DS. In my review, this is a good game, but too short. I find some content of the “beta” version of the gameplay. And when i see that i was amazed, more puzzles, more things, more weapons and other beautiful things not included in the final game. If we talk about Lara’s physical appearance, she has the classical “ponytal” , i don’t think she’s beautiful in the beta version, in the final version she is very beautiful. In the final version many of the weapons have been removed.

(i have much more of course, but is a example)

Other things that have been removed or altered are the following movements, which of course is not included in the final version of the game:

Deleted Moves: (info tomb raider forums)

Pistol Whip
Hand-to-Hand Combat like in Angle of Darkness but expanded and with more possiblites
Backflip off Walls
Alternate Handstand
(more)

Then you can see some videos and trailers of the BETA version of the game, unfortunately, not many videos to be seen, but can see how much they have been removed.

Well, that’s all you have to see. I repeat, Tomb Raider Legend (Final Version) is a very awesome and beautiful game, with beautiful Lara, beautiful graphics, but is too short! The Beta version looks better, If they do not remove things from the beta version, it would be even more incredible than the version released.
We know that the beta is an unfinished version, obviously, if improved graphics, and design of Lara, would be perfect.
That is all the information I have. Here I leave some concept art and screens from the beta version.
