Gex: Enter the Gecko (1998 Video Game)
9/10
Great sequel with great game-play mechanics.

If you liked or LOVED the first game which I have, then you'll dig Gex: Enter the Gecko. Having played it for the first time back in the late '90s (an AWESOME decade of video games and everything pop-culture related) the first thing that grabbed me was the intro movie where the story picks up a few years after the first game and let me tell you it was one of the most hilarious moments I ever witnessed in a video game. On top of that, the game works great in 3d although there were some camera problems that are somewhat a little manageable but they don't hurt the game at all. Even the graphics are great with lush, colorful textures and beautiful lighting and special effects, even on the now-defunct PSone. Gex is even more hilarious than before with his witty, sarcastic sense of humor that made him such a star among well-known video game characters. But the best feature of the game is the levels that you play in; cleverly parodying movies and TV shows. One of my favorite levels are Kung-Fu Channel, Science Fiction channel, and the cartoon channel. You can tell the makers had fun making this game. When you have a bunch of people with a passion for talent, the possibilities are limitless and that plays into the process of making a great game.

If you own a PSone, PS2, or PS3 you will have a blast with this game despite being a 12 year-old game but it still holds it's own in this day and age of much higher quality graphics and more complex game play. You owe it yourself to one of the best games for the PSone.
