Exactly—if you didn't know who Lara Croft was, you wouldn't realize you play as her, and that's sort of the point.
Anyhow, a series of Bayonetta images, even though I think she looks god-awful freakish, being a Third Person Seductress is sort of her point. [1]

Sparkling and glittering! Jan-Ken-Pon!Isn't her normal X-2 outfit Stripperific? Would it be better to find a third-person, over-the-shoulder cam to demonstrate this trope?
And Vanille isn't quite...curvy or Ms. Fanservice enough in XIII, I pesonally believe.

Actual game play footage
◊ from PN 03. I like the second to last Bayonetta. I think this a trope where we want a HUD so people know "yes, this is a game, not a porno".

The quality is kind of fuzzy, I think, but pretty good otherwise.
Not suggesting this, but that woman is a freak of nature: [1]

Most PS 2 games come out like that with screenshots (The FF games were all bad for that)
and umm yeah.... @ that shot...

◊ are the best I could come up with for PN 03 from GIS. I'll see about getting some from gameplay footage.
"And Vanille isn't quite...curvy or Ms Fanservice enough in XIII, I pesonally believe."
Well straight up opinions should be saved for crowners, as those don't otherwise help with discussions.
Also, I test cropped that Vanille picture, and it actually looks good. It shows plenty of landscape while still keeping her looking like this trope.
How does this look (and remember it's 330, so it's shrunk to 300 here)?

I'm on the internet. My arguments are invalid.
While I would really want Vanille, due to being a Fetish Fuel Station Attendant for me, I think your second picture is best.

I'm on the internet. My arguments are invalid.Yeah, it's mostly the Dat Ass. Unfortunately, everything I could find was in 240p on youtube. I'd crop it down to her, but then it would lose the status bars.
Fight smart, not fair.Google picture search for "PN. 03"
See if there is something you think works.

I'm on the internet. My arguments are invalid.Of the big list of Bayonetta pics posted earlier, I like the last one, primarily because it's the only one where she's in a "sexy" pose; the rest don't bring out that angle nearly as much.
Like I said, it's not hard to find good shots of Vanessa, it's hard to find good shots that are obviously gameplay. Given the trope, we're going to have to look for more Dat Ass shots. Not that I object.
Fight smart, not fair.I don't think an HUD is too important.
Also, I was mostly being polite about the Vanille thing. She isn't curvy enough, or Ms. Fanservice enough for this trope. She just looks like a girl running—and playing as a girl is not enough for this trope. She needs to look...erm, exploited is too negative, but in that general ball park.

Hate to say it but those look like an FMV to me and not actual game play >< needs more meters and/or Minimaps.
Reading tropes such as You Know What You Did
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUU...is there anything that is not up for image picking?
The Lara Croft image works fine. Demanding an in game screen shot or someone more recognizable than even her is really just petty.

I mean Lara Croft is a great example, but this image just feels lacking. Although, PN03 is cool. I wish I could convince Fast Eddie to upload a gif of her.
