(This is a review after only playing Gex: Enter the Gecko, will update when I've completed either Gex or Gex 3: Deep Cover Gecko) This game is just a collection of the ps1 versions of these games, with a few quality of life features, such as improved camera control and the ability to save anywhere. Barely any attempt was made to improve the game otherwise, save for some rerecorded or uncompressed lines in the game now, which is very nice, and slightly improved graphics/rendering. FMVs are still very compressed, and now there are audio issues in the main hubworld and other levels of Gex: Enter the Gecko, something causes the music to not play properly using headphones, maybe with regular speakers as well, but not as noticeable. Another audio issue is when there are supposed to background sound effects or other music tracks in some stages, originally these effects were very subtle and added to the experience or just weren't very noticable. Now these effects are cranked up to 11 and constantly interrupt the stage music, and can be very annoying when its just a few second loop. The "extras" of the this game don't amount to much. Most of the key art, renders, and box art you could just see by searching on the web and has been available for years. The n64 excusive stages have been reduced to very poorly captured footage of someone playing through the stages. The music feature is nice, I guess. I wanted more, I expected more, especially for the asking price. Instead we got a half baked rerelease of some pretty fun, if even sometimes uninspired platformers. But considering LRG is involved, I should've known better. If you're a fan on the original ps1 releases, I'd definitly consider purchasing these games, but just on sale. If you never played the Gex series and want an easy and convenient way to play them, with the feature to literally save anywhere, buy it on a deep, deep discount. But as for full price, never, don't even think about it.
