The 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 I’ll 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.

Game InformerA 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]
-
GameNowUnexpectedly creative. [Apr 2003, p.42]
-
Vexx 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.
-
Play MagazineCrafted 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. It’s too bad because Vexx could have been special.
-
Vexx could’ve been worlds better if not for its nauseatingly inconsistent camera system.
-
Electronic Gaming MonthlyEach 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.
