Gex enter the gecko free download for pc

Gex will start mouthing off with comedic results. The rest of the audio is excellent as well, with the music creating just the right mood for each zone. Gex plays a lot like any of the Mario series. The control just feels' right. One neat aspect about being a gecko is that you can climb up walls.

Gex also has its fair share of icons. There are pods that give you life, the ability to breath fire or ice. You can also get sped up or invincibility. Adding to the mix are triggers that open hidden areas. Gex has plenty of secrets to tease gamers with. Gex stands out as one of the better action platform games around. The graphics, sound and control are all terrific. This one should give action fans a good time. You're a wealthy young gecko, not interested in the upwardly mobile world of your family.

All you want out of life is a bowl of flies, a large reliable television, and a remote control. But Rez, Lord of the Media Dimension, has other plans; he wants you to be the new network mascot and that involves being dipped in bronze.

Your only chance of escape is to collect remote controls and turn off the televisions blocking your exit. Moving from world to world, you will have to avoid or destroy many assorted nasties including Frankengeckos, bomb-lobbing cartoon characters, and various attack televisions, as well as defeating and in one case, avoiding the boss monster in each world.

Gex was originally designed as an arcade style game for home console systems e. Sony PlayStation and Sega Saturn and is best played with a game pad, although it can be played with the keyboard. You can run, jump, and swim your way through each world, collecting gold bugs to gain more lives, tongue-lashing to grab special power spheres electric breath, fire breath, power jump, extra lives, health, etc. Gex himself makes quips throughout the game his voice is provided by comedian Dana Gould , mainly appropriately funny quotes from and references to various movies and old television shows.

The one thing I did not like was a leftover from the home console version: you must play several levels before you are given a password which will return you to that spot when you re-enter the game.

As a PC gamer I've become used to being able to save games after completing each level at the very least, and I occasionally got frustrated with Gex's password system as it does not allow you to keep any extra lives you have gathered or to keep any of the points you have earned.

You also have to replay levels you have already mastered each time you reload the game, until you have played enough levels to gain the next save code. The graphics are good arcade fare with an excellent full motion animation intro. The audio adds to the overall flavor of each world -- creepy music for the cemetery, jazzy and disjointed for New Toonland, and an Asian mood for Kung Fuville -- without being intrusive. There is very little documentation, but this game doesn't need it.

The booklet gives a basic rundown of commands for keyboard or game pad , a bare-bones storyline, a few sentences about each world in the game, and an explanation on how to access the online help. The online documentation contains a lengthy and funny background story for the game.

I would recommend reading it, if only for laughs, and several hints in case you get stuck. Reviewed on: I played Gex on an AMD 5x and although the game complained on startup that I did not have a Pentium, I had no trouble with performance. Gex provides a wonderful diversion with a challenging variety of levels and the opportunity to tail-whip bad guys into oblivion.

The game would be enjoyed by everyone from nine to ninety, provided they have the coordination to master the gecko's moves. However, because of the inability to save games regularly, some players may get bored and frustrated. I give this game 91 out of Gex comes to play on Sony's new system. As the wise-cracking reptile, your Gex-cellent adventure begins when you're sucked into a television.

You traverse multileveled stages, such as the Cartoon World, locating warps that reward you with bonus rounds and power-ups. Gex's world is beautifully detailed, and Gex himself is fully rendered. An impressive opening cinematic sequence outlines the story, but the true appeal here is the personality of the little green guy.

Crystal Dyanamic's stellar platform title Cear will soon be available for the PlayStation The irreverent gecko is up to his old tricks as he warps from one TV to another trying to get back to his home. As in the 3DO version, Gex features some fine graphics and humorous sound bites which poke fun at many of television's most prolific stars, including Johnny Carson and trusty sidekick, Ed.

The clever story and strong replay value are what propelled this little gem on the 3DO, and it looks as though all of the great gameplay and visual style will be included in the conversion. Unfortunately, it looks as though the PlayStation version is an exact conversion, implying that Crystal Dynamics went to no effort to upgrade the inferior system's game to the PlayStation's level. The PlayStation control pad though, is much better and the gameplay is improved as a result.

Scrolling and sound have also been tweaked and improved, but there are no additions or subtractions from the level layout. Either way, Gex is still an enjoyment to play, so keep an eye out for this title. If you haven't played it before, check it out: Gex is still one of the best platform games out there.

For the 3DO, but it is the hottest platform-action game available for the system to date. And since it's coming for the Saturn and PlayStation later this year, Gex is definitely worth another mention. Your Gex-cellent adventure begins when you become Gex, a small gecko, and enter a strange television world.

To escape this weird realm, you must collect remote controls and ultimately defeat Rez, the evil wasp who has entrapped you.

Thanks to the N64's visual power, you can forget about problematic "big pixels" and distorted images. This Gex looks like a 3D-accelerated version. But the biggest question is: How will Gex's voice and other sounds fare in the transition from CD to cart?

Again, Gex braves the perils of TV land to battle his archenemy, Rez. All the stages are takeoffs on television shows like Cops , or popular movies like Star Wars. One stage even has Gex decked out like Godzilla when he battles Rez in a small city. Gex also changes his attire depending on the level: In one stage he dons a rabbit suit, and in another he dresses up for some Saturday Night Fever.

I've played the PlayStation version of Gex: Enter the Gecko, you'll know what to expect here--wholesome platform gaming fun.

This version does away with the sidescrolling approach of its predecessor, opting fora hipper 3D look. And while the format has changed, the formula remains the same: Lovable main character with equally lovable enemies, colorful environments, an evil head boss in this case, Rez , and cute collectible items.

Each level parodies various movies and television shows as Gex struggles to escape from Rez's Media Dimension. The levels are arranged in sections similar to those in Mario This enables players to complete the game without exploring the entire world and adds to the game's replay value.

Clean 3D worlds and humorous sounds complete the experience. All told, if you enjoyed Mario 64 and Banjo-Kazooie, Gex is worth considering as your next purchase. It's rare to find an N64 title with graphics this clean: Gex will dazzle you with its solid, colorful 3D levels and comical characters. Clipping does occur at times, but it can be corrected simply by redirecting the camera. The controls take some getting used to.

They're not as tight as, say, Banjo or Mario, but they can be mastered after a while. Another problem is that the camera angles can become disorienting. The sound effects and music nicely pace each of the theme-specific levels, but Gex doesn't bust nearly as many hilarious one-liners as he does in the PlayStation game. Also, the repetitive music occasionally gets distracting. Despite the few flaws Gex: Enter the Gecko may have especially with the controls , the game's humor and unique levels make it undeniably fun to play.

If you've bested Banjo, this is a fine platformer worth checking out. We weren't afraid to ask! Come along as we bring on all the tough questions about Gex 64 in this exclusive! What happens when you take a wisecracking, smart-ass gecko, give him a couple of huge levels to roam around in, and make him do things like eat bugs, flick his tail, and hop on the heads of his enemies?

Well, either you get arrested, or you get Gex: Enter the Gecko for the Nintendo That's right, guys and gila monsters, his Lounging Lizardness is coming to the Nintendo Gex: Enter the Gecko will be arriving in late July for N64 owners who have cast the green eye of envy at their PlayStation friends. If you've never played Gex before, then you'll love this version, which has refined the gecko and the gameplay. If you've already played and beaten the PlayStation version, you'll find the plus levels here the same, with the exception of two new Nonly levels.

Evan Wells, lead designer at Crystal Dynamics the makers of Gex , had quite a bit to say about the Nintendo 64 vs. PlayStation hardware war, pointing out the N64's advantages.

For the Sony version, we relied on people seeing the huge difference between playing the game with the clunky directional pad as opposed to using the smoother, more accurate analog controller. But you can't force people to buy an. For N64 owners, this was.

Wells went on to say that the camera angles in Cex 64 will be much easier to adjust with the N64's analog controller, and added, 'The real plus is the way the N64 ehgine handles graphics. There's virtually. Translation for gamers: Gex N64 rocks with a higher resolution than Mario 64 and is just as fast.

Other comparisons to Nintendo's plumber will also be inevitable, and Wells admits, 'We're aiming for that Mario standard. We think we've achieved--and in some instances--exceeded it. One of the great things that the engine lets you do is show spectacular water effects, and that's something we want to try with the N64 version of Gex. But there is one limitation that may make a difference to hardcore Gex-ansr-the Nintendo 64's sound capabilities. Since PlayStation programmers stream audio from the disc, which has huge storage capacity, Gex for the PlayStation was loaded with over oneliners.

On the N64, however; that number is drastically cut to about comments. On the N64, Gex will use oneliners in key areas instead of chattering throughout the game. Will this limitation also affect the.

So will N64 lick the competition this summer? And does it slither past its PlayStation counterpart in terms of gameplay and scope? The PlayStation version of Gex was built from, the ground up--Crystal Dynamics' programmers literally tore apart the PlayStation to figure out how the hardware handled things like graphics so they could-make a better game.

In doing the Nintendo 64 version, which is a port with two new levels added, the programmers found that they liked the way the hardware handled graphics.

This, plus their time limitations, allowed them to just port the PlayStation game to the N Crystal Dynamics' programmers don't want to stop there, though. What they would like to do is take a Nintendo 64 apart and build a game from scratch on that system. Wells emphatically states, "That is certainly the most tempting thing right now. The guru of the geckos has finally come to the N64 with his cool moves, slick one-liners, and new heights of craziness.

All your favorite stages from the PlayStation version are here, plus some extra levels to test your flying tongue and hard-hitting tail. The high-res graphics looked silky smooth, but, unfortunately, there won't be many one-liners due to the N64's memory limitations. The early version we played contained a lot of draw-in, though its tight controls and effective camera angles showed great promise. If you're a Gex fan or just looking for a fun-filled 3D adventure, Gex: Enter the Gecko may just grab you by the tail and never let go.

One of my all time favorite PSX games starred a little green gecko with a really big mouth. The game was a traditional 2D side scrolling platform game that followed every cliche in the book. The one thing that made it stand out was since you play as a gecko, you could climb just about any wall or surface around. You spent 90 percent of your time off the traditional ground. Here we are, some 2 years later and a lot of things have changed, but a few have not. What has changed is that you are no longer a 2D stick figure.

GEX has graduated into the world of 3D. You are now sporting some of the coolest threads around instead of running around naked. Your path in life does not follow a typical 3D linear route, you are free to move about checking for the many secrets that lay hidden within the game. It is up to you to find all of the remotes hidden throughout the worlds in order to confront and defeat REZ. Once again, the fate of the world is literally sticking to your back. GEX 2: Enter the Gecko still follows along the same paths of a platform game but adds much more to help in the replay department.

The game is broken up into a number of different worlds, each with its own theme, usually based on a TV show or movie from the past. It is up to you to maneuver GEX through the world to receive the remote control at the end of each world. After collecting the world's remote controls, another section will open up and you're off to collect the remotes from the new worlds. Sounds easy enough, and it really is easy if your only goal is to get the level remotes and move on. Fortunately, there is much more to do and see.

First off, I said that the game is made up of different worlds. Each world has at least one remote control to acquire by meeting the objective of the world, one remote that is obtained by collecting enough of the collectibles located throughout the world, and finally a hidden remote somewhere in the level. Each world has a number of objectives that must be achieved before you will be allowed access to the remote for the objective. For example, early on in the game, you will find yourself in the haunted house level.

One of your objectives is to smash 5 blood coolers they look like the big water coolers, only filled with blood. After smashing 5 of these, you can go to the exit and the remote will be waiting for you.

You will then have to go back into the level and achieve 2 other objectives to get the two other objective remotes. This will keep you busy for quite some time in each world. I also mentioned that you will get another remote control by obtaining enough of the collectibles in each world. Each world has three tiers of collectibles. You will collect 30 tier 1 collectibles and it will automatically switch to tier 2.

After collecting 40 tier 2 collectibles, it will switch to tier 3. After collecting 50 tier 3 collectibles, you are rewarded with a secret silver remote. By obtaining all three silver remotes per level, you will open up a special bonus level. This would keep you from running from the beginning to end of the level just to get the objective remote. Finally, you have to collect the secret remotes. These are remotes that are hidden in each level that you must search high and low to acquire them.

These were the hardest to find and later in the game, I spent hours exploring levels just looking for the hidden remotes. At the end of each level, you are given a recap of the items you find and it tells you if you have found the secret remote for that world or not.

This was quite helpful. Now let's talk about GEX himself for a minute. For those of you who never played the original, GEX is a gecko.

If you don't know what a gecko is, they somewhat resemble a lizard with suction feet allowing them to travel on just about any surface unless you are a gecko playing this game GEX has spent too much time in front of the TV, so just about everything he knows and says relates to the TV in some form or another. All of his one-liners are lines from or about TV show personalities or movies.

This is one of the best parts of the game. You never get tired of hearing what he has to say. The game claims to have over phrases, but I did find that they got repetitive quickly. It did not stop them from being funny, but you would just hear them over and over.

This also brings me to my first gripe about the game. It has been at least two years since the original title was released. Couldn't they have thought up all-new one-liners instead of recycling them from the original game? There were a few things that were carried over from the original game. Look, I heard them enough the first time around, so give me something new!
