Publisher: Midway
Released: 1998
Gex: Enter the Gecko is a 3D platformer and the follow-up to Gex (1995, 3DO).
+ Like Super Mario 64 (1996, Nintendo 64), several worlds are typically open at the same time in case you're floundering.
+ Entertaining missions have a nice blend of platforming and puzzle elements, and the boss fights are a real highlight.
+ Plenty of collectable items and unlockable bonus levels, and there's more content here than in the Nintendo 64 port (1998).
- Controls have a loose, unpolished feel, and judging spatial distance between platforms is an unrelenting issue.
- Camera is a constant annoyance and it often rotates erratically while you're attempting delicate movements.
- Themes are repeated across multiple worlds, and Gex talks incessantly with many quips missing the mark.
