When Gex stands on the green button across the water, the player will finish the level if the requirements have been met.Įnter the Gecko, the first 3D platform game in the Gex franchise, allows the player to choose from three camera control options: automatic, semi-automatic, and manual. Pawprints at the top represent his remaining health, and the carrots in front of him are collectibles. The game was followed by 1999's Gex 3: Deep Cover Gecko, which released on the PlayStation, Nintendo 64, and Game Boy Color. Critics' main concerns centered on the game's camera, graphics, low-polygon enemies, and simplicity. The Nintendo 64 release, due to hardware limitations, features six fewer levels than its PlayStation counterpart, but the release also includes one exclusive level, 'Gecques Cousteau'.Ĭritical reception of Gex: Enter the Gecko was mostly positive. Hundreds of voice-overs were recorded for the character Gex, but hardware constraints forced the Nintendo 64 version of the game to include only around one hundred samples. The Gex model was rebuilt with this perspective in mind, and much of the game's humor was inspired by Fox's animated television series The Simpsons, on which script writer Rob Cohen had previously worked as a writer. Gex seeks to collect three types of remotes to unlock different TVs in the overworld that aid in the fight against his arch-nemesis, Rez.Īfter creating the original Gex, which released for the 3DO Interactive Multiplayer, PC, Sega Saturn, and PlayStation in 1995, developer Crystal Dynamics sought a sequel in the form of a 3D platform video game in the style of Super Mario 64. Its protagonist, Gex, a TV-binging, wisecracking gecko, is voiced by Dana Gould in the North American version, Leslie Phillips in the European release, and Mitsuo Senda in the Japanese release.

Gex: Enter the Gecko is a platform game and the second installment of the Gex video game series, released in 19 for the PlayStation, Nintendo 64, Microsoft Windows, and Game Boy Color.
