Memes aside, this game is kind of just barely passable for a 3D platformer. It's nothing groundbreaking.
Gex controls decently well, and I think his moveset is pretty tight once you master it. However, the camera in this game can be absolutely horrific, like really bad, and the only way to kind of fix it is to switch between the manual and automatic camera modes whenever it gets stuck.
I like the design of a decent amount of the worlds you need to traverse through. Some great ones that come to mind are the Kung-Fu world and the Bugs Bunny themed world. However, there are also ones I absolutely fucking hated, like the computer circuit world and the outer space one.
The music is passable, but honestly I don't remember much of it besides the tracks in the first few worlds, which might be a pretty telling sign that the songs don't really go too hard in this game.
Boss battles can actually be a lot of fun in this game. I especially love the fight where you control Gexzilla. But oh my God, the final boss is complete bullshit and I will never forget the countless attempts it took me to beat it.
Initially I was going to rate this game 3 stars, but as I typed out this review I realized this game was not as good as I first thought. It's not horrible, but there are so many other great platformers you could play instead, and this one hasn't aged very well.
