Vexx is the new art style!

While many people look at Vexx in wonder saying to themselves, "Why did I buy this game? The storyline makes no sense..." they ultimately miss out on an adventure that may even change the way you see video games today! Vexx is by far one of the best games ever to hit stores.

Reasons:
1) Vexx is a fantasy game in which you collect energy rich wraith hearts to help abolish the "evil that is a king" who enslaved all of Vexx's people. This game is full of fun right to the very end with a storyline that carries throughout the whole story!

2) The scenery in this game is magnificent, filled with monsters that actually react to what you do, and bosses that get angrier as the game progresses. Every bit of this game (walls, ground, extras, spells, and even you!) have the utmost detail available for a gamecube game. Trust me when I say, you'll be amazed!

3) The bosses in Vexx grow exponentially harder as the game goes on, so even long time gamers and Vexx fans will have a hard time re-beating the same one! The levels are large enough where you can discover things you didn't notice before!

4) Levels in Vexx vary greatly from a tall mountainous region to hidden mayan pyramids! You'll find your self facing giant man-eating dogs in a house bigger than you can imagine, and climbing remains of something that once lived. After all is said and done, you'll be thrilled to find out that ea. level has newer, stronger monsters with double the entertainment as the last ones! Ea. Level has an obstacle course in which takes a long time and will challenge any gamer, best I've seen in any game.

5) Finally, this games controls are perfect, its easy to maneuver Vexx through the many obstacles that block your path! The fighting moves can be made into many different combos and ea. are different according to the enemy! The camera angle works perfectly fine. As for me, I've had only a few hassles with the camera before, which only act up once you reach the last level. Trust me you won't get overly angered by it as others say they do.

Now, doesn't this make this game sound fantastic? I didn't lie a bit. I recommend Vexx to anyone anywhere as a rental or as a buy. You won't be disappointed!

Bad Things:

1- last Boss in Nearly Impossible
2- Camera (not bad really) you decide on this.
3- Only two "upgrades" so vexx never changes really. But I don't mind.

Vexx...something I thought I would not like!!!!!

I almost gave this game four stars, but I thought that it deserved five for it's originality. I just got Vexx, I was concerned that it would be a little to much like mario 64. However, I think it stands of it's own two feet. It has original enemies, worlds, and Vexx is a very intresting charachter. I love this game.

A Sleeper Hit That Will Never See A Sequel

VEXX is a great a game. It rivals any of the action/adventure platform mascots to Jak/Sly/ & Mario. Unfortunately this 4 year old game that came out back in 2002 didn't seem to receive the attention it deserved. No game is ever perfect and this game has its minor flaws. It's also beautifully constructed & there are other games that came out the same year & their visuals never looked as beautiful as this game. Give it a try. At this point it's most likely under 20 bucks and a few retailers still carry this title. It's such a shame and most likely Akklaim Studios won't be making a sequel to this game. Give it a try & you will love it as much as I do.

This is for hardcore platform gamers!

Vexx is bad to the bone! And those claws are pimpin'! The game may be a little tough, but when you beat it you know you're an awesome gamer. And fighting a gigantic, fat sumo wrestler, how awesome is that. Vexx's moves are totally sweet! If you think it's too tough, whine to yourself! Don't scare off serious platform gamers.

Loved it.... but

This is a good game.... good world design, good graffics, but best of all is the aggressive undertones... Vexx is like Mario meets Wolverine... I love the claws, the look and the attitude.

All things concidered though... Amazon is asking $60 Canadian and I got this game at Zellers for $20 Canadian plus tax.

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.

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.

Bet it will be great
