Whiplash was a fun 3D platformer developed by Crystal Dynamics and published by Eidos Interactive in 2003. One of the main protagonists in the game, Spanx, originally appeared in another CD game titled Mad Dash Racing. Whiplash early in development went by various codenames: Bust It Up, Spanx & Redmond and others. Even more interesting was the game’s birth, as it all happened after Gex 4 was mysteriously cancelled.
Below, we can observe a few beta changes before the game was released. The images below date back to a 2002 beta build of the game that, as of the time of writing this article, remains inaccessible…. Unfortunately.

Differences:
- Different HUD (cool DNA design)
- Different idle animation
- Slightly different attack animation (kinda slower)
- Some guards in the game are wearing different uniforms (?)
