After sorting a whole bunch of photos for an update I realized I didn't have a list of games on the site that featured women in spandex. I figure, we have a movie list, why not a game list?
Add your submissions, Ill try to keep the main list up to date in this post. Also, I'm going to limit this to fairly modern examples, games with REAL shiny stuff in them. Older 2D games were great, but they just can not compete with the limitless angles and lighting effects modern games are just starting to get into. So in short, this list is mostly what we could recommend checking out simply for the spandex alone.
Format: [Title - System - Characters in Spandex - Notes]
Action / Platformer
- Bayonetta - PS3, 360 - Bayonetta - Her main costume is her HAIR. But when its on her, it forms a smooth shiny leathery suit. Her magic is powered by her hair, so as she uses longer combos, she actually strips to less than a thong bikini at points.
- Death by Degrees - PS2 - Nina Williams - While not nearly as detailed in the real Tekken games, her purple catsuit is seen throughout the game.
- Heavy Metal - PC - Julie - While an older game, she wears a blue unitard throughout the game with a thong over it.
- Kunoichi / Nightshare - PS2 - Hibana - She dawns a white bodysuit with fishnet areas, seen in the whole game.
- Tomb Raider Anniversary - PS3, 360, PC - Lara Croft - In this classic remake Lara once again dawns her black catsuit.
- Brute Force - XBX - Hawk - While her costume is really suppose to be some sort of leather, its tight and shiny.
- Paladins - PC, PS4, X1 - Skye - This ninja elf has a sexy attitude and wears a purple shiny leotard over black tights. You can unlock a few additional costumes for her, all are tight, most are shiny.
Imani - Has shiny leggings in her default costume.
Kanessa - Has a few shiny outfits and new Gen Lock skin that turns her into Valentina, full catsuit
Lex - Has a Yasmin skin that has a cybernetic catsuit (and a sex change)
Octavia - Has a scuba suit costume. - Overwatch - PC, PS4, X1
Widowmaker - Assassin type with extremely pale skin and a metallic shiny catsuit.
Tracer - Scout class character with a time travel mechanic. Her signature look has an orange catsuit as a base.
- Champions Online - PC - Create your own character, spandex is a must and readily available. The game uses a cell shading engine that makes everything a bit toony but everything customizable has fabric choices and super shiny is in there. Best of all, this shiny spandex loaded game is FREE to play!
- City of Heroes / Villians - PC - Create your own character, spandex is a must and readily available. However, the game is really bland looking and you can NOT set belts at the natural waist. This game is certainly not worth the cost of admission.
- DC Universe Online - PC, PS3 - Similar to City of Heroes, but MUCH BETTER LOOKING. Lots of shiny spandex outfits to make, but still rather limited character customization in terms of body features. Official DC license means real comic book characters in here as well.
- Guild Wars - PC - Assassin Class - The Vabbian Armor set, while could be shinier is the best option overall in this game.
- Guild Wars 2 - PC - The light class armor "Profane" available in the gem store is nice and form fitting. The medium sets "Duelist" and "Stalker" are leathery but still form fitting.
- Home - PS3 - Women - Not really a "game" but in this second life rip off there are some leggings and various costumes featuring spandex.
- Marvel Ultimate Alliance - PS3, 360, PC - Has lots of famous Marvel superheroines to select including Spiderwoman, Susan Storm, and Ms Marvel.
- Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 - PS3, 360 - Again, lots of top Marvel superheroines, new points of interest include Songbird, NPCs include Moonstone, She Hulk, & Firestar. Spiderwoman is no longer playable
Also, not as shiny as the first game, more of a leathery look this time. UPDATE: Psylocke makes the cut as a downloadable extra, complete with her classic look! 2nd Update, the DLC is NOT available anymore. - Marvel Future Fight - Android / IOS - Has nearly every Marvel girl of note and most of their best costumes. Surprisingly detailed and complete, very shiny.
- Xenosaga Episode 2 - PS2 - KOSMOS2
- ARMS - Switch - Twintelle - She sports some skin tight leggings.
- Bloody Roar 1-4
Yuriko - While her spandex costumes were better in the earlier games, her most recent look on the PS2 features some spandex shorts. - King of Fighters: Maximum Impact / KOF 2006 - PS2
Lien Neville - KOF's answer to Nina Williams and Sarah Bryant. An American, tall, busty, assassin, complete with a skin tight leathery suit with ample cleavage. - Marvel Vs Capcom 3 - PS3, 360
She Hulk - She wears her classic white and purple leotard in this one.
Jean Grey / Pheonix - Classic green or red unitard with the Pheonix emblem on it. - Marvel Vs Capcom Infinite - PC, PS4, X1

Cassie Cage has a skin tight suit, its not exactly spandex, but its both tight and shiny. Sonya Blade also has her classic MK costume, while not shiny, is still a classic. - Soulcalibur I-IV -Dreamcast, PS2, XBX, PS3, 360
Taki - Especially in SCIV. Words cannot convey how hot her costume is.
Custom Characters - While not a character, you can have some slick leggings and bodysuits that fit the fetish. - Soulcalibur V - PS3, 360
Taki's replacement character Natsu wears a biketard version of Taki's signature costume.
Custom character parts include various leotards and unitards (even a rubber one) to create all sorts of spandex clad characters. The create a character mode alone is the only saving grace of this dismal installment in the series. - Soulcalibur VI - PC, PS4, X1
Taki once again appears in her shiny spandex outfit, only this time you can use it on other characters too!
Custom parts are similar to SCV, a leotard, tank unitard, a full body unitard. Certainly a must play for fighting game and spandex fans alike. - Street Fighter IV - PS3, 360, PC
Cammy appears in her trademark thong leotard. Rose wears her unitard under her dress. The only down side is that everything in SFIV is MATTE finish only. Its a design flaw in the graphics engine.
Chun Li sports her Alpha series unitard in this game as an additional costume
Juri has a black catsuit as an alternate costume. It is also slightly shiny. - Street Fighter V - PC, PS4
Cammy once again is ready to fight in her trademark green leotard. Shinier than ever.
Rainbow Mika is back and in her classic wrestling leotard. She also has a one leg Unitard as an alternate as well as a flashy feathery leotard DLC. - Tekken Tag Tournament - PS2
Nina Williams - Her purple catsuit is redefined in the PS2 remake.
Kunimitsu - Her -start- costume borrows heavily from Taki's concepts. But interestingly enough she wears the base bodysuit under her other costume options (visible at the neckline). - Tekken Tag Tournament 2 - PS3, 360, WiiU
Kunimitsu returns with her Taki inspired costume (though you must unlock it through many ghost battles). There are also custom parts to make a Power Rangers esq costume for any of the ladies (MMPR pink with skirt eg) - Tekken 4 - PS2
Nina Williams The second player motorcycle catsuit is top notch. Videos of it are here in the Art gallery.
Christie Monterio Her default low cut disco pants are nice. - Tekken 5 - PS3/2
Nina Williams - Her second player look is a gold catsuit. - Tekken 6 - PS3, 360
Nina Williams - Nina has been known for her spandex attire, but In Tekken 6 she barely qualifies in her customized riding suits. - Tekken 7 - PS4, X1, PC
Ling Xiaoyu's primary costume has been updated to include some nice wet look leggings.
Master Raven - Namco's answer to Taki of Soulcalibur. This western kunoichi sports all the right moves, curves, and shiny spandex. While it could be a shiny leather, it has an alternate costume that is straight out of TRON, glowing bits and spandex. - Virtua Fighter 1-5 - Saturn, Dreamcast, PS2, PS3, 360
Sarah Bryant - While in VF1 she was just a bunch of blocky polygons, in VF4 she really takes shape. Again, videos are on the site in the Art gallery. She also appears in her blue catsuit in VF5, though Sega really screwed her figure up IMO.
- Heroes of the Storm - PC
Alexstrasza - Her "dark queen" skin has her in a shiny unitard with a deep V neck.
Nova - Her primary costume is a white catsuit with tron like glowing seams on the sides.

While super deformed, and kiddy, it still has some of the sexy women of the Marvel universe here. Notably the Invisible Woman and Black Widow. - Super Smash Bros Brawl - Wii
Samus Aran - Her Zerosuit is what she wears under her armor. - Super Smash Bros - WiiU
Bayonetta - her two trademark catsuits make an appearance in this game.
Samus Aran appears again in her Zerosuit, this time she looks pretty decent thanks to the increased power of the console.

) is an internet application called Home for the PlayStation3. It's a 3D online world used for chat and to play mini-games etc. You can create a female character and then 'purchase' clothing from the virtual shops, they have spandex leggings as a choice. They're free in the European version of Home but not the American version. They almost appear like a cross between wet look and PVC leggings - depending on where you stand/move due to the lighting. I'll get some pics of them up at some point.
