Gex

Gex provides a wonderful diversion with a challenging variety of levels and the opportunity to tail-whip bad guys into oblivion. The game would be enjoyed by everyone from nine to ninety, provided they have the coordination to master the gecko's moves. However, because of the inability to save games regularly, some players may get bored and frustrated.

Lyden og grafikken er ikke noget særligt, og banerne minder en del om hinanden. Til gengæld er Gex en ganske underholdende fyr, som citerer diverse kendte film, mens han farer rundt og bekæmper skurke.

Det är visserligen "bara" ett plattformsspel, men det är välgjort och erbjuder lagom svårt motstånd. Och Gex imitationer kan faktiskt stundtals vara ganska underhållande.

The main criticism of this game is the same one as for most conversions: the game doesn't take advantage of the PC. If anything, the PC controllers are less precise than those found on the average console system (though that's arguably not the case with the 3DO and its terrible controllers). However, if you're into the whole platform genre, Gex is one of the better examples, and definitely worth checking out.

Dieses Gex steckt voller Gags. Die Echse hat einiges an Bewegungen drauf und ist wirklich witzig animiert. Egal, ob sie ihre Zunge ausfährt, Blöcke verschiebt oder mit ihrem Schweif zuschlägt, es macht Spaß, sie durch die Levels zu lenken. Die Steuerung funktioniert sehr gut, ob Sie nun per Tastatur oder Joystick, respektive Pad zu Werke gehen. Die Begleitmusik und die schnoddrigen Kommentare in englischer Sprache sind ziemlich cool und passen gut zum Helden.

Ever get the urge to play Super Mario Brothers with a trash-talkin' reptile? This could be the game for you...

Gex was created to be the 3DO console's Sonic or Mario, but due to it not being very good, it and the half-baked machine it rode in on are currently residing as doorstops in a pawnshop near you.
