How it plays

How does Gex: Enter the Gecko play?

The game is viewed from a third-person perspective. Gex explores a hub area and enters television channels containing open 3D stages, searching for remote controls that unlock further areas and the final confrontation.

Gex can run, jump, climb, attack with his tail, use his tongue, and collect power-ups. Stages include enemies, hazards, hidden routes, bonus objectives, and collectibles. Progress depends on finding enough remotes while revisiting levels to locate secrets or complete more demanding tasks.

Plan your run

What is the best way to play Gex: Enter the Gecko?

Learn the camera and keep it positioned before difficult jumps. Explore the edges of each stage because remote controls and bonus areas are often hidden away from the main route.

Collect health and power-ups before attempting hazardous sections, and use the theme-specific suit abilities when they provide a safer route. Revisit earlier channels after gaining new abilities or learning their layouts.
