Lara Croft has gone through a few changes in her life, most of them based around graphical advancements in breast rounding technology. Back in the day Lara was naught more than a couple of polygons stuck together to vaguely resemble large breasts and Angelina Jolie-esque lips. Yes, Lara has come a long way and Lara Croft fanboy Nicobass felt that it was time to update some of her classic sexy poses since the old ones really did look old.
Now that I'm seeing these side by side, old Lara was really creepy. Her head is way too big, her ass is unnaturally large and I'm pretty sure her lips would have to have their own zip code. Maybe my maturity level has been raised since those original images came out (doubtful), but I don't see what I saw in old Lara at all. New Lara on the other hand, well, I'd totally raid her tomb. Know what I mean? Eh? Eh? A nods as good as wink to a blind beggar.

"New Lara's legs are too thin , old Lara's head is too big ... Why can't they just get Megan Fox without the mutant thumb and give her a nice boost in breats , legs and butt?"
Ugh, why Megan Fox? She looks like a piece of used plastic.
Why yes she is good at sport.
HOT.
Her head does ruin everything though, it looks like it's been literally stuck on.
That comment was creepy as hell.
there's absolutely no reason for a game like underworld to exist in a world post uncharted...
nathan drake should'nt kick lara croft's ass, it's insane, it's like if dante's inferno was better than god of war 3 it's just not possible too even consider it.
Sure, her face is rendered in that odd, cartoonish style (which was pretty consistent with how the games looked back then); but her equally cartoonish, exaggerated figure is absolutely proper for a videogame fantasy girl.
IMO, just another casualty to the trend towards 'realism' in games. :/
