Gex 3: Deep Cover Gecko

Description

15 levels including bonus levels moves include running, jumping, swimming, and tail whipping save passwordsProduct Description Battle your way through the bizarre Media Dimension on your quest to defeat Gex's arch nemesis, Rez. Fight through 11 levels plus minigames using familiar controls, as well as new swimming and gliding moves. Shred on a snowboard, take a wild kangaroo ride, and even climb walls and ceilings with Gex's suction-cup paws. With over 4,500 frames of character animation and nine cool disguises, Gex 3: Deep Pocket Gecko is a deep Game Boy Color experience. Amazon.com Gex is back on the Game Boy with more tail-whipping fun. As a lizard with an attitude, your goal is to infiltrate 11 TV channels and defeat the evil Rex. You must also aim to rescue the captive Agent Xtra. Each themed channel is composed of several missions that fit the theme to a tee. As you enter each TV program, you'll also find yourself decked out in the appropriate costumes for that show. Each level has different objectives. For example, in the Holiday TV level, Gex must create five ice sculptures. Tut TV finds Gex riding a raft into an ancient temple, while the Hero TV level requires Gex to rescue three cats and find five escaped convicts. Gex gets a remote control for completing each mission, which he can use to access the Rex-raker boss level. Gex has his fair share of moves--from tail whipping to tail bouncing and wall climbing--which he can use to fulfill his mission. Gex even does a little snowboarding, too. Gex offers plenty of action to please fans of side-scrolling action games. --Robb GuidoPros:Good sense of humor Colorful levels and animation Cons:Much of this has been done before in other action games Review Deep Pocket Gecko takes one of Eidos' more popular characters and shrinks him down to the Game Boy. Gex, noted for his tongue-in-cheek approach to life, loses nothing in his diminutive size. Deep Pocket Gecko is a vast world of side-scrolling mayhem, with Gex using his tail to swat enemies, his tongue to snap life-restoring flies out of the air, and his reptilian acrobatics to jump around. There are 11 monster levels ranging from the snowy arctic to Egyptian tombs. Despite the colorful backdrops, the goals are generally the same. Having been sucked into a large television station, Gex must perform a certain number of tasks (like smashing three water towers, killing an evil Santa, and so on) to earn a remote control that he can use to enter further worlds. Once all of the tasks in all of the worlds have been completed, Gex will have enough juice to enter the domain of the evil boss Rez and end his reign. Deep Pocket Gecko features an astonishing 4500 frames of animation, which explain why every creature moves as smoothly as a lizard's tongue in slow motion. There are also new moves for our favorite Gecko: Gex can swim, bust a move on a snowboard, and even ride a kangaroo. Control is excellent, though his tail-bounce technique might take some getting used to. While this title doesn't possess the charm of some of the other Game Boy platformers, it does stand proudly on its own. Fans of the genre or those who want to pick up a decent game that will keep them coming back for more won't be disappointed.--Doug Trueman--Copyright © 1998 GameSpot Inc. All rights reserved.
