can turn the commentary down or off, but considering that the game's entire selling point is based around these pathetic one-liners, you kind of feel obligated to leave them on." IGN had a much more positive overall assessment: "In the end, Gex is a surprising amount of fun, and gamers will like it because of its off-beat humor, large levels and great replay value." GamePro called the game "A must-own for platform fans" and gave it a 4.5 out of 5 for control and a perfect 5.0 in every other category (graphics, sound, and fun factor). Game.EXE said that it lacked attention to detail and care. A Game World Navigator reviewer praised the graphics, noting that the backgrounds are detailed, but noticed that the monsters have few polygons. The reviewer complained about the bad behavior of the camera, and eventually concluded that the game is worth playing. Dmitriy Estrin, reviewer of a Strana Igr magazine, commented on the graphics, saying that the "developers skillfully managed the resources available to them", but he also noticed that the game had "too much simplicity in all aspects of the gameplay". The Nintendo 64 version received mostly mixed reviews, holding a 61% on GameRankings based on 12 reviews. Upon the PC version's initial release, USA Today gave the game 4 out of 5 stars.
