    Goodness where to start?!
    Vexx for me has to be one of video game's greatest forgotten heroes. He is certainly this centuries most unappreciated hero in and out of video games. For me playing Vexx was the pinnacle of my childhood, I also learned a lot from him and his philosophical teachings. He is much like Nelson Mandela in the way his sheer power to forgive in matched by none and his    Goodness where to start?!
    Vexx for me has to be one of video game's greatest forgotten heroes. He is certainly this centuries most unappreciated hero in and out of video games. For me playing Vexx was the pinnacle of my childhood, I also learned a lot from him and his philosophical teachings. He is much like Nelson Mandela in the way his sheer power to forgive in matched by none and his tenacity is by far the most courageous thing you'll see in video games for some time.
    I saddens me to no end to hear that Vexx was incredibly unpopular both critically and consumer wise. I don't think the average gamer has the mental capacity to absorb all that Vexx has to offer intellectually; it's a shame a game so deep can be truly appreciated by so few.
    Acclaim should really be applauded for their creation Vexx, I don't think they get the praise they deserve for such a deep and inspiring character, that's not to say that vectrum the goat wasn't an equally adhering in the Vexx universe, they really did create something magical with Vexx, it's a dying shame that due to poor review scores and poor sales, a sequel was never made.    … Expand

    Incredibly strange game. I remember playing this game at Christmas when I was just 7 years. The games combat and plat-forming was decent from what I can remember and who could forget climbing that massive mountain to find that giant sumo wrestler up there.

    I know people throw this around a lot, but this game is a whole lot like most 3D Super Mario games. This is basically a T rated Super Mario 64, but with better controls. The graphics are alright, though the sound is kind of meh. But it has mostly solid gameplay altogether.

    Vexx es el mejor juego que he tenido la oportunidad de jugar aun en la actualidad disfruto mucho mas jugar este titulo que muchos de los títulos nuevos .
    tiene una buena historia y un potencial que creo fue desperdiciado por muchos. seria bueno que pudieran apreciar la joya que es este videojuego, puesto a que muy pocas personas fueron capases de apreciar tanto la    !En lo personal¡ .

    tiene una buena historia y un potencial que creo fue desperdiciado por muchos.
    seria bueno que pudieran apreciar la joya que es este videojuego, puesto a que muy pocas personas fueron capases de apreciar tanto la historia como el diseño de niveles con los que este contaba , sin mencionar la dificultad y la opción de elegir con que corazón empezar en cada mundo,
    la batalla con el jefe final es bastante buena y desafiante en especial por lo que representa a nivel de historia , los pocos power-ups con los que cuenta son buenos , sin mencionar la dinámica de noche-día , muy similar a los juegos de zelda .
    Vexx cuenta con un nivel filosófico muy amplio y es una de las joyas olvidadas que averiaran resurgir en la generación de consolas actuales , ya sea con un remake o una secuela    … Expand

    Se merece el 4 por ser un juego sin doblaje en español latinoamericano al igual que el Scaler, un insulto que vendieran un juego en el puto inglés a un país hispano, hasta que tenga algún mod y fandub quizás le cambie la calificación.

    Epic in scope but technically flawed (particularly in its framey and load-happy PS2 incarnation), Vexx is begging for a much-improved sequel.

    The good parts might not be enough to overcome the poor camera and game control.

    This thing either found us in an incredibly bad mood (unlikely) or it’s one of the most insulting games we have ever had the displeasure to play (yes). Just don’t buy it.
