Vexx

"You will Love this game or you will hate it. If you are looking for a good platforming game you will love it."

This game is an excellent platforming game in my opinion. Fun, yet challenging I would recommend this game for more experienced gamers because of the difficulty of some of the levels. With over eighty objectives, and nine complete 3-D worlds this game will provide you with hours of platforming fun. Also, the worlds in this game have real time in them so you can play both during the day or at night where tougher enemies appear. This game will give you tons of action because of its new combo type fighting system. I would recommend buying this game. Here is how I would rate Vexx:

Gameplay: (7/10)
The action was great! I loved being able to slash up enemies and pound them into the ground. The controls were a little rough but overall everything was excellent. The camera is a different story. A lot of the time you will find that the camera will get stuck and you will have a bad angle and you'll end up jumping off a ledge that took you half an hour to get to so you would have to start over. I'd give gameplay a higher score but the camera angles ruin it. That is why gameplay receives a 7 out of ten.

Music:(5/10)
The music is not really that good as you probably won't pay any attention to it when all you can here is the sound of you beating and enemy up or making an attack. In this game unless you just stop and stand there, you really won't even notice there is music even in the game. That is why I give the music a five out of ten.

Graphics: (8/10)
The graphics are simple yet still good looking. Sometimes the game will appear out of focus but if you move around a little it will come back in focus. You might not want to play this game on a bad TV because the game will look like a bunch of blurry colors.(I've done it too) If you have a good TV the graphics should be excellent. The worlds will look awesome! The graphics deserve more but I'll have to give it and 8 out of ten.

Story: (5/10)
The story is too simple. A boy wants to get some guy for revenge. Not very original if you ask me. I don't want to accidentally give away any spoilers so I'm not going into much about the story. I'll just tell you that it is pretty simple. I give it a poor generous 5 out of ten.

Overall score: (6/10)

Overall I rate this game a 6 out of ten. Like I said, you will either love this game or you will hate it with a passion, as for me I am a fan of platforming games so I loved it. Some of the objectives are hard with riddles as your only clue how to complete your objective but still with a little patience and determination you can figure out how to complete it. Hope my review will help you decide whether or not to buy this game.
