Play it and find out? Why would you ask this AFTER you bought the game?

Recalled hearing good things about it back in the day, interested in /vr/'s take on it

It's okay. Hated it after playing Crash as a kid.
Heard the 3DO version was the best, but I have to replay it as an adult to notice the difference.

Gex is 2D? I thought it was 3D.
Dang, I'm dumb. Maybe I'm thinking of one of the sequels.

I retract my statement.

Gex 3 - Deep Cover Gecko is miles better and one of the best platformers on the PS1. Get that next.

I like how his sunglasses remained the same size despite his eyes tripling in size. They're like tea shades.

I had Gex 64 as a kid and always wondered what the original was like. Tried it recently and was really underwhelmed. It has good ideas, but it's no Mario or Sonic. If anything it's more of a Metroidvania type game, but slower and less action-packed.

What really boggles my mind is why they were still using password saves on a disc-based game. That should've went out the door with save batteries (maybe with the exception of the Mega Man games, because they're Mega Man games).

I think Gex is one of those odd situations where due to the high emphasis on exploration, it works better in 3D.

Threads like this are one of the many reasons why a lot of people don't go to /v/ anymore. Just play the fucking game and find out yourself you already bought it.
