Gex (Saturn, 1997)

I find myself wondering why the Gex series ever died. Gex has all of the attributes a consoles mascot needs. He's cute, tough, and hilarious. The three Gex games were all good, but the first was the best. This one is a 2-D side scroller while the other two were set in 3-D environments. Given that the Sega Saturn is the best 2-D system ever made it would only make sense that Gex for the Saturn is the best (It was also available on the PSX, and the 3do). Gex has an at best mediocre plot, one that I found myself not paying much attention too throughout the game. But the gameplay more than makes up for this. Gex's abilities too tail whip, spit fire, and climb walls with suctioned feet make it a blast to play him. Take this lime green Gecko through environments that range from a graveyard to a chinatown and experience opening a can of whoop***. A definate must buy for any Saturn owner!
