Sissy-boy platform gamers need not apply for Acclaim�s gritty hop-n-bop hero�s first outing.
Acclaim�s rough and ready platform mascot Vexx wants to �age up� the hop-n-bop genre. What will give him an edge? For one, he won�t collect coins or rings or gems�he�ll collect beating hearts. Eewww! Then there are the magical, razor-sharp gauntlets, the hordes of demons, and Vexx�s ability to change between night and day at will with the fantasy world�s occupants and pathways changing along with it. The early versions still needed a little tweaking (small slowdown and voice-over issues), but Vexx was easy to control on all three platforms, plus the worlds were huge. Gamers who are looking for a little less sugary sweetness in their platform adventures might find Vexx�s attitude quite palatable this February.
