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.

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.

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 Dissapointment

Okay, Here goes. This is a desent game, with solid fun gameplay, and if your one those people who skip though all the cutscenes cause you just want to play and don't care about a story or stuff like that you'll love this game. Overall this game is slightly above average. It's a bit like "Jak and Jaxter + Eternal Darkness - plot - movies". I've gotta go now, to play something better, like StarWars CloneWars.

This game trashes other games

OK people, you may think this game sucks, but it doesnt, i have made a lot of research on it and i cant wait till it comes out.
It is raw, the levels are so cool theyr huge, the controller is easy to use and this game is an absolute must-have.

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!

pretty darn good

This game is very cool except the background info in the game doesn't really tell you were you are and what happened. it just hits you in the face. The controls are like any other game like banjo kazooie or mario as Game Informer Magazine said "Mario with power mitts." You go around collecting weird hearts in different worlds and that is pretty much it. The graphics are pretty good, but don't expect them to take your breath away. All in all this is a good game when your bored of fighting or tired of racing with your other games, but if you want a really great game get The Legend of Zelda The Windwaker or Metroid Prime. It's fun so get it if your into those action adventure games.

This game is great! The second I heard of it, I wanted it because it sounded cool... but this game is better than it could be explained. U should buy it here, too, at Amazon because I was searching for almost 2 days trying to find a better price than here, and I couldn't! This game also has great graphics and plot. The game starts where your grandpa was killed by evil invaders of your planet, then u find out that u can gain power to destroy them so that u can hav your peaceful planet back. Like most games under the same genre, u r supposed to collect something that progresses u thru the game in order to beat it. In this case, they are "wraith hearts". If u have played "Jak and Daxtar" for PS2 & liked it, you will like this game. They are similair in the aspect that u r a made up creature trying to save your land by going to other strange and mysterious areas and that there are multiple attack types, such as slashing, shooting, smashing, etc. It is a good game because it can occupy time for u vey well. I also think it is a challenging game, though I am not an "expert gamer". The reason why I think it is challenging is because for each level there are seven hearts to obtain, each having a riddle to solve in the start menu before u can get them. And don't think u can just get them without the riddles and that they are dumb, because sometimes u would have no clue where the hearts could possibly be hidden, or u see it hovering somewhere but u can't get it the way u think u can. Again I just want to say that this game is fun all the way thru and that if your looking for a challenge, this is it. Oh, and if u are wondering why I took a star off, its because some parts of the game take too long and are boring. The rest is fun though.

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.
