86The nice thing about the look and attitude of Vexx is that he has a dark side.
-
Anybody who loves platforming will like this game. But Ill warn you that the platforming is a difficult challenge at times, and the final boss is one of the hardest I've met since maybe Jet Force Gemini.
-
A game that I would certainly recommend to friends purely for the level design, fun (if somewhat repetitive) combat, humor, subtle sound effects, and sheer size. [Mar 2003, p.84]
-
83Unexpectedly creative. [Apr 2003, p.42]
-
80Vexx is a curiously grim exercise featuring gargantuan free-form levels fraught with danger and a surprisingly combat-heavy fighting system of combos, uppercuts, and vicious slashes.
-
Crafted by hard-core gamers - its strong point in terms of sheer satisfaction - and it shows. [Mar 2003, p.56]
-
Aside from the camera, the conventions have been nailed, unfortunately, most gamers want a bit more than that.
-
Vexx gets a lot of things right as a platformer, but all of the good parts are completely negated by a lousy camera system. Its too bad because Vexx could have been special.
-
75Vexx couldve been worlds better if not for its nauseatingly inconsistent camera system.
-
Each stylish set piece is matched by two or three (or ten) ignoble deaths from cheap bosses or bottomless pits. [Apr 2003, p.128]
-
My primary complaint against Vexx is that the camera system feels unrefined. It works well enough to play the game, but it's very rough.
-
74I question people paying $50 for a game when they might get the feeling of "been here, done that". Vexx's biggest problem is the camera, but you can overcome it as long as you have patience.
-
72It's a solid platformer. It's just not a particularly original or polished one.
-
Nothing more than your run-of-the-mill platformer. Though the level design and beautiful visuals are something to admire, the audio, plot and general lack of originality leaves something to be desired.
-
So enjoy this game for what it is, a fun jumping game that can keep you amused for several hours if your willing to spend time trying to collect all the bonuses and complete the mini-games that Acclaim has arranged for you.
-
In such a saturated genre perfection is necessary but Vexx only comes off as average.
-
67While Vexx builds adequately on the 3-D trail blazed by "Super Mario 64," there are others who have taken the next few steps.
-
The camera control works great and the play-control scheme is well-designed. [May 2003, p.139]
-
63Vexx does little more than imitate, which just isn't enough these days... Feels outdated right out of the gate.
-
62An underwhelming, choppy mess.
-
50It's vexing to play a meticulously crafted and pretty 3D platformer when it's devoid of fun. [Apr 2003, p.71]
-
50It's just a simple fact that Vexx brings nothing new to the table, and too much about the game comes off as unfinished and rushed.
