Editorial Review

Scientists have successfully cloned frogs and sheep, but Crave Entertainment has successfully cloned Austin Powers' personality into a colorful little gecko named Gex. First introduced in Gex: Enter the Gecko, the sophisticated lizard is back in a new adventure in which he must rescue his partner, X-Tra (Baywatch's own Marliece Andrada), from his archenemy Raz. To save his partner, Gex must complete specific missions in cheesy television worlds in order to acquire remote controls, which allow him to transport to the next television world until he meets Raz in a final showdown. Dispersed throughout the main plot are minigames to keep you on your toes, and, of course, there is Dana Gould with his witty one-liners.

Although the graphics are fairly good, there is a little jerkiness and at times depth perception is a bit tricky, making some maneuvers extremely difficult to judge. This aside, Gex 3: Deep Cover Gecko is a good game, designed for the younger crowd but also fun for adults. --Hugh Arnold

Pros:

• Solid, straightforward plot
• Fun minigames
• Easy learning curve

Cons:

• Graphics need some work
• Witty one-liners can get tiresome

Product Description

GEX 3: Deep Cover Gecko for the Nintendo 64 is a 3D game that features the popular secret agent Gex in even more outrageous situations. This time, Gex must save his fellow agent X-Tra from his nemesis Rez. To accomplish this, he must collect remote controls from each world, thereby opening up new levels. The game contains many features that help separate it from most other platformers, though. One is the appearance of comedian Dana Gould as the voice of Gex. Throughout the game, he spouts humorous one-liners, adding to the feeling of interactivity. Also, each level follows a different television related theme that many gamers will instantly recognize. Gex can also gain numerous abilities that are based on these levels, making each one play differently from the last. GEX 3: Deep Cover Gecko takes the familiar platform game formula and adds enough unique twists to make it distinctively different from every other game on the market.

This review is from: Gex 3: Deep Cover Gecko (Game Cartridge)

Gex 3: Deep Cover Gecko is about a gecko that's trying to rescue his secret agent Xtra, who was mysteriously kidnapped. It's up to Gex to go through many different levels in different worlds, using a variety of cool costumes and disguises, such as "Count DracuGex", a vampire that glides, "Sherlock Gex", a detective, "Scuba Gex", a diver, and a lot more. There are levels that are: an army base, a giant fairytale beanstalk, a snowy Christmas town, the Parthenon, an Egyptian temple, a "Clue" mansion, and a whole lot more. This is the coolest Nintendo 64 adventure game, according to my opinion. Next time you buy a game, pick Gex 3!
