I liked this one. In fact, I really liked it! It was a bit risque around the pelvis, but there were no nasty surprises underneath the cloth. It looked inspired from Alias #5, and it probably was, but all meshes and new textures were selfmade. Her head looked great, and she reminded me of a female ninja assasin, with all the knives and sticks. I can easily imagine this in an ancient Japan (without the guns, of course. Maybe as Young Lara), but not anywhere else.

This outfit isn't bad. But it's not too new or exciting either. The first ones were nice because they gave Lara a new look. And that worked for them, but now, it's getting a little bit old. And, I also noticed that Lara looked a bit more, well, ****y in this version. I have no idea why, but I think it was the mixture of the white top and her extremely red lips along with her hair that did it. It's still a nice addition to the New Generation series, but the next one needs a new look if it's going to get the same hype as the first one. [i]Edited by ChatBot[/i]

When I first saw the preview of Alias #5, I said (and I quote): "That looks fantastic! This could make a nice candidate for best outfit!" And it's still true, even more. The amount of detail in this outfit is simply overwhelming! I kept getting the chills when testing it, I was that amazed! Everything about this outfit is no less than perfect! The textures are so beautiful! Not only are they non-plain, but TR_Nut even made several different red textures for the dress, which is not an ordinary sight! He only used one for the boots though, but that's no problem. And the hair textures look so cool, they even work perfectly on the lips! And would you look at those pistols! Amazingly realistic! And still you kept the textures at an okay size! Great! The meshes are so detailed! I mean, the clothes are fully 3D, not just textures slapped on top of Lara's old torso! The way the dress went along the leg was so brilliant, and it almost eliminated the stiffness of it! The head's meshes are also great, and work perfectly with the textures! I also noticed the size of the Lara object: 1,6 Mb. Curious as I am, I opened up the Animation Aditor, and was not surprised when I saw added animations. Tightrope walking. Pole swinging. I figured it was from Tomo's Last Saga 4 game. Great addition, but it had a small problem. Lara could not climb poles anymore, because of the new animations. Sad, but not many people use poles in their levels anyway, and tightropes are more fun (and challenging) to use. I give you two thumbs up, and a 9.8333333333333333... rating for Alias #5! You can feel proud of yourself, 'cause I'm proud of you! :D [i]Edited by MrNiceGuy[/i]

This dress looks better than most dresses on the SE, but it has many issues as well. First: the dress. Looks great, and actually works very well, but has a lot of corrupted texturing inside. It looks stupid when Lara is crawling and climbing a wall, and the dress mesh sticks through her legs. The textures are very plain, but they work for me. The gun animations are not included, so when Lara draws her guns, polygons stick out of her hands. Overall, this is one of the best dresses on the SE.

The mutant Lara looks really good in textures, but the meshes are too small (of course, they're ripped from TR1). The chest needs too be a big thicker, and the neck needs some work. As said, she looks like E.T. Finding a level to use this in is quite impossible... But it's mostly for fun, of course!

Quality! Style! Effort! These words describe the outfit well. It's amazing to see the amount of detail in the meshes and textures! The head is brilliant! TR_Nut has even made eyelashes for her! The backpack is great, though I didn't like the textures on the front and backside, they were too dull. I also noticed that the high heels were fixed, with no corrupted texturing. The new hand meshes were a great addition to an already great outfit. Very, very well done! This outfit should be used in some levels, the quality simply can't go overlooked!

This catsuit both looks and plays good. The fact that it's not a full shiny catsuit is actually good, because now it fits into almost any type of level! I didn't like the gunbelt, because parts of it was missing. Also, the outfit suffered from Lara's neck problem. Anyway, I liked this outfit very much, and it deserves to be used in levels, and to be placed in the top 10.

Ugh. It seems that this outfit was made to make Lara as nude as possible without being classified as porn... It doesn't do a good job either. The meshes were sort of OK, but the feet were too blocky, and there were no new detail textures anywhere, except in the torso. The bikini bottoms were definetelly too small. I didn't like the sunglasses, they were only a modified headset. I don't think this will ever be used in a Tomb Raider level.

Very cool! I haven't seen the movie, but this outfit looks good even to me! It reminds me of the Moonraker soldiers from the 007 movie. The headmesh is brilliant, and the textures are great, though the hair textures are a little bit overdone. Also, if you look closely, you will notice some pink transparency colour around the edges, which are not transparent. The joints have a special meaning to me, but I hardly noticed they were absent from this outfit. The big problem is to find a level for it to fit into...

A very good outfit indeed! I like her face and jacket, but I don't like the skirt, it's too short. She really looks like Sarah Michelle Gellar, and is a good improvement from the last versions. The shoes have small cracks in them, because of badly placed invisibility. The mouth looks really good, but if you look closely, you can see a crack beneath the nose and some polygons sticking out beneath the chin. Not all gun animations are included, and that's a shame.

The sad truth about this outfit, is that it is completely overshadowed by LarzBritsh's wetsuit. Apart from the hands, which are replaced by young Lara's hands, this outfit has no difference from the original outfit in meshes. The feet should have been replaced, as they are blocky and undetailed. The textures are dull and boring, and very plain, except the SOLA inscription on the front of the wetsuit. So, sadly, I don't think this will ever be used in a level...

This TR2 remake is very well done. Tomo has made a mixture of TR4 Lara's lower body, and TR2 Lara's jacket, plus a TR4 head with an extra detail. There's only one bug in this outfit, and that is the missing connection between the torso and the pelvis. You might not notice it at first, but you see it when crouching. If you're making a snow level, this is a good outfit to use.

The problem with dresses in Tomb Raider, is that they get problematic with all of Lara's animations, and that Lara's feet and legs constantly go through the dress. This dress is no exception. Though the dress looks nice, the textures are a little plain, and the feet are a little too big and blocky. I liked the torso textures though, they made the dress look different from all the other dresses. The inside of the dress is missing polygons, and there's a weird spike thing hanging from Lara's arm. If it weren't for the stiffness in the dress, it would have made a nice outfit, but it's hard to find a level to use it in. A beach, maybe?

This outfit looks good on first sight, but when taking a closer look, I noticed some bugs. First: the head. Great textures and nice hairstyle, that never collides with her back, but a lightning bug, that makes the head lighter and lighter when rooms get darker and darker. The gunbelt has nice texturing and a certain solidity, but the holsters change when Lara puts her guns into them. And speaking of the guns, all animations are included, but the laser guns' hands are weird, and there's a small crack between the arms and the hands. The idea of this outfit is great, and it would fit well into a club or cartoon type of level, or something like that.

This skeleton from TR5 is great as an outfit, believe it or not! It shoots from it's hands, and looks quite funny! There's a few problems though, some of the textures have been accidentally made transparent, and the Lara object included misses a bunch of animations. You tell me a level this fits into, I couldn't think of any myself... Skeletons vs. zombies, maybe?
