89Vexx is a stellar, high-quality, praise-worthy game that deserves to be enjoyed by hundreds of thousands of gamers.
-
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.
-
75Vexx toes the party line for platform games but at least adds more style then most.
-
74Maybe it's the lack of innovation and cohesiveness in the gameplay, or maybe it's the uninspired character designs.
-
70A solid platformer that features plenty of clever puzzles and a good deal of variety. [Apr 2003, p.35]
-
Crafted by hard-core gamers - its strong point in terms of sheer satisfaction - and it shows. [Mar 2003, p.56]
-
It gets stale after a while and there's really nothing to drive you to the end, save for facing another challenge of making it safely over a bizarre and dangerous collection of platforms.
-
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.
-
The good parts might not be enough to overcome the poor camera and game control.
-
Due to bad enemy pop-up, a lousy camera, and an abundance of crummy underwater levels, it's bad in a different way than intended. [Apr 2003, p.68]
-
67While Vexx builds adequately on the 3-D trail blazed by "Super Mario 64," there are others who have taken the next few steps.
-
63Vexx does little more than imitate, which just isn't enough these days... Feels outdated right out of the gate.
-
61While Vexx eked out a win on the Xbox, its PlayStation 2 outing is held back by considerably worse graphics, longer load times, and stiffer competition.
-
60Epic in scope but technically flawed (particularly in its framey and load-happy PS2 incarnation), Vexx is begging for a much-improved sequel.
-
55A lot like the middle-class, suburban kid in high school that tries to make everyone think he's cool by wearing nothing but black and listening to Metallica. It's all an act; a dark pretense put up to hide a depressingly normal game that doesn't really know what it wants to be.
-
50It's vexing to play a meticulously crafted and pretty 3D platformer when it's devoid of fun. [Apr 2003, p.71]
-
50Unfortunately the gameplay is as uninspiring as the graphics.
-
There's no excuse for such an absurdly awkward control scheme. [Apr 2003, p.92]
-
30A charmless, shoddy, unfinished, unplayable mess and does nothing that a dozen other games haven't done infinitely better.
-
This thing either found us in an incredibly bad mood (unlikely) or its one of the most insulting games we have ever had the displeasure to play (yes). Just dont buy it.
