Just played the demo for about 3 hours. This game is incredible.
The physics are awesome, the graphics cool, the soundtrack amazing, and the overall effect just crazy-cool. I'm ordering this game now.

The sundial effect is amazingly cool. I love my life.

Addictive, fun, playful.

I just played the demo on the XBOX Magazine disk (feb). The controls are easy to use, right from the start. Yes, the game reminds me alot of Mario64, but with much better environments, and wall climbing, and that day/night thing is really cool! Its not as cute-sy as Mario, but it has more humor. My only complaint is the camera controls/angles. its taking a little to get used to. Otherwise fantastic. 9 out of 10.

another reason to get a Xbox !

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.

The Best Adventure Game Yet!

This game rocks! The controls are simple along with the game play! It is very addictive, and the plot is awesome! It runs along the lines of Donkey Kong 64 and Banjo Kazzooe, but much better! Graphics are simply one of the best. I highly recommend it. BUY IT RIGHT NOW! I MEAN COME ON, YOUR ON AMAZON.COM! BUY IT

Great Game

This game would get 5 *s if it wasn't so...hard! You see, there are 10 goals that need completed in each level, in any order, but they are by no means easy in any way. You can just do the easy ones at first, to get to the first couple boards. But then the goals just get difficult to the point where playing any longer becomes a horror. Plus, you have to start over from the very beginning every time you complete a goal. It is also tough to figure out what the goals actually ARE. They are stated in the form of 4-line "poems" that can be accessed at any time by pressing the BACK button.

This game is not racy in-and-of itself, but is rated "T" because of the extreme plot line. You are a young bat (stay with me) whose parents were killed by a king, so now you vow deadly revenge on the ruler, and I'm guessing that your quest is to kill him and take over as king.

It's a fun time, and a recommended title; if you are willing to devote a WHOLE lotta hours on it.

Awesome

If you want a challenging game where you get stuck all the time, being bored of a game because you can't find the hearts, and a game that goes absoulutely nowhere, then this will be the game for you. It has a bad story line, and it's just a plain bad game, so if you like bad games buy this!!!!!

Second tier

I love platform games because I have young kids. Can't play blood and gore types like Dead To Rights while they're around. I got caught up in the hype for Vexx, and while it's lack of comparable titles on Xbox make it attractive, I have been underwhelmed with the game. Anyone who has played Ratchet & clank or Jak & Daxter on the PS2 will have trouble being impressed with Vexx.

Not that Vexx is a waste of money; it is entertaining, but it could be so much better. While the environments are beautiful, they are not detailed. I don't mean like color variations in the rocks, I mean like all the little plants, trash or whatever that would dot a landscape. My other major problem with Vexx is its lack of coherent structure. While free-roam is fun, structure is also neccessary to create an enveloping game. Vexx just feels like a random collection of mini games thrown into an environment full of collectibles.

I don't regret the purchase, and anyone who enjoys platformers will enjoy playing the game. The bottom line, though - there are much better titles out there. (The underappreciated Dr. Muto for example.)

I end with a plea to Xbox developers: give me something Ratchet & Clank quality in the platform genre.

The genius that is "Vexx"

The video game "Vexx" has received many mixed reviews. For the most part people who didn't enjoy the game was because they found some levels too difficult. They also compared the main character Vexx to an alternate version of Mario, as in their moves and ledge jumping are quite similar. I do admit the game should be redone, it has so much more potential.

As a hardcore gamer for over 13 years, I enjoyed this game to its core. A wonderous world with amazing creativity. A surprise around every corner. The portals that are gateways to different planets, lets you see all terrains. You can even control night or day. (Watch out for those worlds in the Tapestry, they trick the eye.) The music was amazing and the character Vexx was quite the "Bad boy." Many think he is ugly as sin, but I find him adorable... in a weird demon child kind of way. Full of angst. (I named my shiba Vexx!)

All and All, I wanted to state that everyone who is curious, to pick the game up and give it a try. You may enjoy it, you may not. I don't think this game is for younger children since its more of a mastermind/puzzle game than just hack-n-slash. (Bit of both which makes it great.)

Good luck!
