GAME 'VEX ' shows that when your life hangs in the balance. Then you are able to perform such miracles. That could not imagine. Are you going to jump higher than the Panthers, run like a Cheetah and cling to a flat wall that would have envied and chimpanzees. And all thanks to the proximity of death and of course the adrenaline. To survive you.
Scan your eyes over this list of recently released games andask yourself what they have in common: Ratchet & Clank, SlyRaccoon, Dr Muto, Haven, Ape Escape 2, Treasure Planet, Jinx,Rayman 3, Blinx, Mario Sunshine, Ty The Tasmanian Tiger, Pac ManWorld 2, ToeJam & Earl III, and Crash Bandicoot 2: N-Tranced.Unless you're really out of touch, you'll have certainly have notedthat they all involve object collection and platforming, and allhave been born to the world since October 2002. Now say hello tolatecomer Vexx and try to look the snub-nosed intruder in the eyewithout spitting contempt in his stupid generic face.If it was customary to be cruel and rude to newcomers, then Vexxwould and should be given the kind of welcome reserved for Americanbackpackers in the The Slaughtered Lamb. It's perhaps ironic thatthis 'kid with attitude' is thirsty for revenge, because that'sexactly what we want to wreak upon Acclaim Austin for producingpossibly the laziest, most uninspired platformer we've had themisfortune to witness in the next-gen era.It's hard to know where to start in pinpointing which is thebiggest disappointment in this turgid excuse for a game. While wesharpen our metaphorical knives, let us at least run through thebasics, should you be even remotely interested.
Hang on, you canprobably guess already.
