* Title screen differs from final.
* Title screen differs from final.
** No image, just a "Press Start" text.
** No background image or build date, this build simply just says "Press Start". An E3 screen loads in the VRAM, but is never displayed.
* Third person view instead of the final's first person.  
* This prototype uses a third person view, very similar to Tomb Raider. Prototypes past the December 1998 build use a 3/4 top down third person view instead.
* Really, everything is different.
* The HUD differs from final, and differs from later 1998 builds too. The top right where the weapon displayed is incorrect here, while it is corrected in later builds.
* Only levels 7 and 8 are playable. Level 6 does load, but you're placed too far from the level to play it.
* Controls differ from final, they are as follows:
**Triangle - Jump
**X - Shoot
**Circle - Shoot backwards
**L1 - Switch between running and walking.
**L2 - Locks player in spot to spin freely.
**R2 - Locks camera at an angle.
* Level 8 is a swimming test level. Pressing L2 and R2 will activate the swimming mode.
