"Though your fondness for the subject matter may vary, the Gex Trilogy is an easy recommendation for those pining to hear an outdated quip or two from a forgotten mainstay of the mascot era on modern consoles."

"I didn&s;t think we&s;d ever see Gex again but Gex Trilogy proves that this irreverent and charming series is definitely enjoyable and unique enough for today&s;s gaming audiences. With that being said, the humour and visuals surely haven&s;t held up …"

"This trilogy of somewhat forgotten 90’s platformers are certainly a bit hit and miss – outdated but still often effective humor, a unique but often somewhat clunky gameplay, with even some unexpected narratives and lots of voiceovers and cameos to …"
