Hello brothers and sisters in gaming and welcome to my review. Now today I decided to challenge myself a little and review a game that I have loved sense childhood. Now let me explain, imagine a kid who was young, had just beaten Mario World, LoZ Ooc, Starfox 64, and so on and so forth, I was getting bored. Don't ask me on why, but when I was a kid my attention span was really low.

Then a friend of mine came to me and he said, "Hey buddy, why not try Gex 64?" Obviously this perked my interest, and oh my god the game is just so much fun! And granted there has been many versions of the game on many platforms, the N64 version remains the absolute best in my eyes, always being great when it comes to graphics and sound.

Okay, now that I'm not gushing over the game, lets get to the review okay? Now I'm going to do this how I do it always, by Vizzed standards. The Graphics, Sounds, Addictiveness, Story, Depth, and Difficulty. And at the end, as well as adding in my own personal enjoyment, I will give it a final score. Lets begin.

Graphics: The N64 was infamous for good graphics at the time, no doubt better then the past, and Gex is no different. The graphics are really good, especially sense it changes up the style of the levels depending on the level that your on. Its pretty cool, to be completely honest. It reminds me a lot of how Mario World pulled it off, by changing the artwork and graphics to fit the level. Only because of the world of Gex, its pulled off on a grander level. Its something that defiantly deserves a glance, and to be enjoyed. There are some instances, however, where the graphics fail in some areas, and others I question if it was a wise choice, for some level obstacles, such as lava or enemies practically blend in with the surroundings, but its okay. I can deal. So...how does a eight out of ten. Sounds legit right?

Sound: Sound effects and soundtrack was a real selling point of this game. You see, just like how the graphics fit certain themes in the game, so did the soundtrack, for it went from playful and exciting, to dark and mysterious, to even Chinese action oriented. It transitions well, and some of the bosses even have their own soundtrack, which further enhances the experience. I would say however the soundtrack does get a bit repetitive. However, I will give honorable mention to the main character Gex, for every so often, he will spout a quote or famous line from other hit media shows. Interesting right? Well it really is, so that's a cool thing right? I give this on a nine out of ten. If it wasn't for the repetitive soundtrack and quotes, then I may have enjoyed it more. But for now...well oh well.

Addictiveness: This game is really fun and very easy to get into, especially if you played any game similar in game style, such as Mario World, and enjoyed it as well. The only thing is, although its addicting, its not gripping. Honestly once you beat it, you'll probably leave it and not go back to it, unless you really enjoyed it. Me? I'm a gamer who loves to beat and experience the game fully, so that's why I enjoy this game...but at the same time its a bad fault. So...yeah eight out of ten again. Sorry, but honesty is a great policy.

Story: Honestly...there isn't a story in this game really to follow. That's probably the biggest fault I can find with this game. There's no back story on the main character, Gex, or even why he's doing what he is doing. Its a rare occurrence that I've encountered multiple times before, but this one I can't find a story. Sorry, but this gets no rating.

Depth: Again, there's not a lot of depth in the game. Even if you played it for the first time, you'll understand what you need to do immediately. Plus there is a weird glitch in the game that can have you skip by a certain point in the game. This is very strange, but if you play if fairly, the only depth is how long it would take to get to another part of the game. So...I say maybe a five out of ten.

Difficulty: A very easy answer for this part of the review for the question, is it hard? And the answer, no, its not very hard. Again if you know what your doing you will find out that the game isn't all that hard to beat an not at all that hard to master. The only difficult parts are the boss battles for how confusing they can be. So...again five out of ten. Sorry.

Okay, so now after reviewing the game and factoring Graphics, Sounds, Addictiveness, Story, Depth, and Difficulty, and then adding in my own personal enjoyment, I give this game the rating of a 7.1 out of ten giving this game the Own it rating. Its not that impressive but if your willing to give it a shot, them I'm sure you'll understand why I say this game isn't that high up in the ratings. But still, its fun and it does deserve at least a look.

Well guys thank you for reading and enjoying the review, and now if you would go and play the game, I think you'll understand why I gave it the rating. As always, brothers and sisters thank you for joining me, and remember, keep your sword sharp...for the revolution is coming. Until then, later.

That was a good review! You structure it well, gave it plenty of details and even compared it to similar platform games. Your review was a little slow to get started (you could have skipped the 3rd paragraph entirely), but that is something you learn with experience
