Let the Platforming Games Begin!

The Story:
Dark Yabu, the leader of bad guys, has been given 700 years of darkness and misery. After killing Vexx's grandfather, Vexx is determined to give revenge. As a slave, he can't do no harm. Until he wakes up an ancient power he will be able to rise up and become the new hero. This ancient power is a pair of metal claws that are going to be the only hope for the world.

...With 18 huge levels, a hidden multiplayer mode, a climbing free mode, an excellent camera system, a day and night cycle system (at night, enemies become more aggresive), and with an ultra-responsive player control, Vexx definately delivers for the platforming fans.

...With an awesome imaginary world you will find canopy villages, mysterious caves, desert temples, underwater cities, deadly volcanoes, and much more to explore and enjoy.

...The game is filled with so much action and platforming adventure that you can't miss it. The world and characters will make you want to come back. Plus the secret multiplayer mode might keep your hands busy with some pals. IN MY OPINION, IT LOOKS LIKE IT WILL BE A DEFINATE MUST BUY!

THE BEST GAME ;Vexx

This game is not out yet,but I've been finding information on it for a long time. This game sounds like it is going to be must buy.Intead of having magic,swords or guns you get to have a pair of battle gauntlets as a weapon.There are 18 different levels,and hidden multi player games.there are day and night cycles ,at night the enemies get harder so watch out!there are very responsive controls so you can stop in the middle of combo attacks.Best of all a very flexible camera so you can always see Vexx.As far as I'm concerned you should buy this game!

Great game and challenging gameplay!!

All the negative talk about the camera in this game is over-blown! There is a minor glitch here and there, as the camera adjusts. But I will tell you that this camera works just like Mario and Zelda games. 360 viewing! But I would say the camera is a tad closer to Mario games. Exploration, fighting, and gameplay, I would say are closer to the Zelda games.

If you are a Zelda and Mario fan like I am. YOU WILL LOVE THIS GAME! This game has a little of both. As far as story line? Well the game lacks there.

It's just simply an addicting game! And the graphics are great too.

As far as gameplay. This game has it all over Mario.

And in my book much more challenging than Wind Waker.

Beautiful but absurdly difficult

I love 3rd person games with characters that are cute, but not TOO cute, and offer beautiful environments and inventive play. Vexx is very much that. Maybe not as much so as Starfox Adventures (my all time favorite game), but hey, nobody's perfect.

Problem is, this game is simply too hard. Many serious gamers will see this as a challenge (as I'm sure the author of the walkthrough I have did), but there are limits. Vexx seriously oversteps those limits.

The many environments of play are beautifully done, from the interior of a giant's den (you gotta love romping through grandfather clocks, grand pianos, and bouncing on sofa cushions), to a weird, darkened netherworld where the surfaces move like organic smoke, to pretty Aztec-ish cities and frozen landscapes.

Two things really kill this game dead, though. One is the enormously frustrating camera, which often forces bad perspectives on you that you can't override. And, again, many tasks are just ridiculously hard. Some just go on and on and on and on and on. Get bored or rushed and make one small mistake, and you'll find yourself starting all over. And over. And over. And over.....

I give it 3 stars because it is very entertaining when mearly challenging instead of impossible, beautifully animated, and I like the idea of a cute, pi**ed off little critter thrashing his way to revenge. If it weren't for the camera and some programmer's (seemingly) mad determination to make a nearly impossible game, it would be good for 5.

I got this because it's broadly similar to Starfox Adventures (3rd person critter goes on a multi-world adventure), and if you have similar tastes then get this only if you must have SOMETHING until a new Starfox or something else vaguely similar comes out.

Awesomely fun

I just rented this game to try it out...I was amazed at how challenging it was right in the very beginning. It has many levels and keeps you interested. I am still working on beating it, but I am tempted to run out and just buy it. It is very fun and a game with a new kind of twist to it... I DEFINATELY reccommend it

A sorely underrated gem of a platformer for Gamecube

Vexx is the type of game that you can not fully appreciate until you get into some of the later levels. I for one think this games' graphics are great, especially through progressive scan. Awesome character designs and very unique textures. Where this game really shines are the awesome, huge worlds you traverse through. I found myself not being able to wait to see what new world i was going to unlock. Each level has 8-10 goals that you can tackle in any order, making it an extremely non-linear game. One area that this game really shines in is the PUZZLE DESIGN! Some of the puzzles in these levels are INGENIOUS! This game is truly for hardcore platforming fans only, if you can't handle your analog stick to perform precise jumping, crawling or maneuvering, you need to stick to your first person shooters.

I'M OVER IT

With.. Mario Sunshine, Metroid Prime, Star Fox, Zelda, & Wario World who's going to have time for this? Please ~Acclaim~ no sequels. Truthfully the first level was so boring I didn't care to go further. I know it reeks that you may have payed ~x~ amount of $'s for this game , but don't beat yourself up. Just brush it off and buy one of the other games I mentioned above. I can only give a few nods for good graphics, sound and idea. Hence the 2 stars.

Buy Vexx

Vexx is a great new platforming game. Its kind of like mario but with an edge. So if your tired of saving that same old princess over and over, take your gaming up a notch and help Vexx avenge his grandfather's murder. ...

My first X-box game!!! :)

The first day that I was in Toys R US, looking for my X-Box, I played one of the Demo's of this game....and I just had to buy it. Lot's of Action, Worlds and things to "get into". People do complain about the camera angle a bit, but it's fun anyway!

If you've played mario on N64, you're played this

Basically, if you ever played mario on the N64, you know what this game is going to be like. It's the same type of scenario where you do various things in each level to achieve stars (or hearts in the case of this game). The graphics are cool, but I just became bored due to the dejavue factor. I was dissapointed.
