I 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.
-
It'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.
-
While Vexx builds adequately on the 3-D trail blazed by "Super Mario 64," there are others who have taken the next few steps.
-
Nintendo PowerThe camera control works great and the play-control scheme is well-designed. [May 2003, p.139]
-
Vexx does little more than imitate, which just isn't enough these days... Feels outdated right out of the gate.
-
An underwhelming, choppy mess.
-
GMR MagazineIt's vexing to play a meticulously crafted and pretty 3D platformer when it's devoid of fun. [Apr 2003, p.71]
-
It'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.
