Vexx - PS2 Game (Retro Fam)

I rented this game the first week it came out and I was hooked. I spent more hours playing this game than I expected because I just couldn't get enough of it!THE GOOD:1. Graphics2. Challenging and addictive game play3. Mammoth worlds with seemingly endless places to explore4. Great character maneuverability and attack moves (with the exception of swimming!)THE NOT SO GOOD:1. Story line - They could have done a bit more to develop the story and getting me connected with my mission and my progress of my mission. Perhaps after collecting certain wraithearts, the game would take a new twist. There could have been more cinematic moments throughout the game.2. Character development - They could have done a bit more to develop Vexx, the character. Such as, upgrading weapons, learning new moves, and perhaps seeing his personality (besides his vowed revenge for his loved one's death.)3. Camera angles - At first, the camera angles were good, but as I progressed, the angles could have been better. I found it frustrating when the game would unexpectedly move my center axis slightly and would make complex jumping a bit too challenging.4. More variety with bad guys - I think the artists could have designed more minions that roam each world. It seemed like I was fighting the same old bad guys each level.FINAL THOUGHT:A great first swing at a new franchise for Acclaim! They have gotten past the initial development costs and I'm sure they'll be able to better develop the characters and.
