Loved this when I was a child and still enjoyed it a lot now but it has some issues that I can't ignore.

I'm a big fan of Gex as a character and I actually enjoy all the references and his silly one liners. Level design is good and I really like the themes. However, there could be more variety since a lot of the themes repeat themselves too often. My biggest problem is the camera though. They didn't manage to get that right at all, it's always in the wrong place and some passages get unnecessarily hard just because you can't see anything although this is a fairly easy game in general. It actually gets so annoying that it really reduces the fun a lot and the worst thing is the stupid sound everytime you try to move the camera in a place where it is stuck. Ugh.

I still think the average rating on Backloggd is too low, Gex deserves some love and these issues could easily be fixed with a well done remake.
