Gex is such an underrated character. I'll put him between Conker but my god is he underrated.

Agent Xtra (AKA: The baywatch Girl) was the best character in that game:P

Close your eyes and listen to Gex give you marital advice.

He totally is! Just the fact that they gave him a bazillion costumes in one of the games shows how much they cared.

Plus, it's not like Crystal Dynamics was hurting for good mascot characters...

It definitely did better on Saturn and PlayStation than it's original intended console. I think he's funny in a Jim Carrey sort of way.

I have limited exposure to him, but my impression is he is correctly rated. The games not being more than average doesn't help his case.

Overall, Gex is a good mascot! I like how he looks & like how he sounds. Even though I never understood (& probably never will) his quotes & references, it's his energy & comic relief that counts! And he has costumes compared to other mascots? That's huge! Would play Gex 64 over DK64 any day.

GEX was a fun game and character honestly. It was an interesting idea having the character spout off one liners randomly or seemingly anyhow. The levels, if I recall had invisible trigger points that only activated on a set timer when you passed them. But the one liners kind of killed the game now.
(Also they do get FUCKING Annoying after the umpteenth time you hear them in one level)

It's very dated. Most new players wouldn't get them, and some would be outright offended by them. Take the Chinese level from Enter the Gecko. GEX made a lot of let's say, very 70s Kung-fu movie references in a stereotypical Asian voice, if you know what I mean.

I like the game even to this day but man, they did not age well. Also, GEX is probably the only good thing Dana Gould has ever done.
