Video Game Reviews of Gex 3 Deep Cover Gecko

Customer Review: Fun at first, but loses its appeal quite quickly.
Summary: 2 Stars

This may not seem so bad at first---especially with an interesting array of stage-specific characters set on either helping you or hindering the progress of your costumed reptilian crusader---but soon enough, things will become increasingly frustrating with each additional level you enter. You'll also find yourself so sick of platform-hopping, tail-swinging, wall-climbing, and item-searching that you'll be dying to play something else after half an hour or so. The game's plot leaves much to be desired as well, as players never really garner anything CLOSE to an intimate perception of the arch-villain Rez other than the fact that they must defeat him to win the game. The dialogue between Gex (voice-over by commedian Dana Gould) and Xtra (played by Marliece Andrada from BAYWATCH, who displays more cleavage than true acting talent) doesn't help, either, as it mainly involves our "hero" making crude come-ons to the blonde bombshell of a spy (hence this game's rating of "T" for "Teen"). If these weren't irritating enough, you must also learn to cope with a slew of wisecracks and impersonations that Gex utters from time to time, which---while amusing for the first few minutes of play---eventually become irritating to the point where you'll be reaching for the mute button on your own remote.

Better stick with Spyro the Dragon, folks, because while this game aims to please, it just doesn't hit the mark.
