Editorial Review

Has anyone seen Mr. Bond--James Bond? Because there is a lizard named Gex who took his identity. One major difference: Gex's mission is to save television, because a world without TV is an absolutely frightening thought. Gex must complete numerous missions in several game worlds in order to gain control--remote control, that is. Once in remote control Gex must tail whip his archnemesis Rez into submission before TV will be safe for all future generations.

The graphics are good, but the continuous movie-based one-liners by Dana Gould quickly become irritating. One other drawback is the game's camera, which rotates around you at a sloth's pace. This makes it difficult to see any enemies in your path, and accurately gauging distances becomes frustrating. Despite the viewing troubles, the learning curve is easy and the straightforward plot makes Gex: Enter the Gecko great for the younger crowd. --Hugh Arnold

Pros:

• Easy learning curve
• Straightforward plot
• Relatively nonviolent

Cons:

• Annoying commentary
• Difficult camera

3.0 out of 5 stars Funny, with the smart-alek remarks, but challenging, November 21, 1999

This review is from: Gex: Enter The Gecko (Game Cartridge)

I have had this game for a while now, and it still keeps me laughing. Gex always has some smart alek remark to say. You do have to pay attention though, or else it is easy to get lost. In each level some of the television remotes are easy to find, and some are hard. So it gives you a good mix. You find the easy ones first, and then you want to go on and find the harder ones. In the begnning it can be a little hard to figure out all the moves, but after that, it isn't much of a problem. But I do have to say that the camera angles can be annoying.

3.0 out of 5 stars Problems with the camera, January 22, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Gex: Enter The Gecko (Game Cartridge)

When I first started playing this game, I was enjoying it. However, after about an hour of playing, I started to feel nauseous. I quit and went back the next day and again felt nauseous. I tried a few more times, but discovered that the camera which shifts around was the cause, so I was not motivated enough to continue playing. My children did not seem to experience the same problem and really enjoyed the game.
