Gex 3: Deep Cover Gecko

Description

27 levels, 3 hidden playable characters and more secrets, New moves and equipment, New costumesAmazon.com 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 ArnoldPros:Solid, straightforward plotFun minigamesEasy learning curveCons:Graphics need some workWitty 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. Review Gex's problems with TV are seriously starting to affect his life. He's a secret agent who lives in his own high-tech spycave, but the only kind of case he ever seems to get entails collecting remote controls and entering television sets that transport him to strange new worlds. In his latest adventure, he must rescue fellow agent X-Tra (Baywatch's Marliece Andrada, whose presence here screams, "You're being marketed to, little boy.") from his long-standing enemy, Rez. In typical third-season fashion, the makers of this hit series aren't straying too far from formula, and you can tell that, like Gary Coleman in Diff'rent Strokes, Gex is having a tough time showing off his range. As mentioned before, Gex enters variously themed worlds where he must accomplish a number of tasks before receiving a remote-control prize (there are four per stage). The more controllers he gets, the more worlds he can enter. Gex gets around by running, jumping, bouncing on his tail, climbing grooved walls with his sticky gecko feet, and leaping with a karate kick. That kick can also be used against enemies, as can the tail bounce, tail swipe, and his spit after he swallows special power-ups. Probably the signature feature of the Gex series is that comedian Dana Gould spits TV- and movie-related one-liners throughout. While the jokes were an inventive feature in the first Gex game, they've since gotten really tired. The writers behind Dana Gould's quips simply seem as though they've run out of ideas. The comments are a lot less Austin Powers-obsessed than they were in Enter the Gecko, and since the N64 can't handle as much in the way of audio as the PlayStation can, they're fortunately much less frequent. The game engine behind Gex 3 is indubitably the little engine that could. It's responsible for Gex: Enter the Gecko, Akuji the Heartless, this game,
