Gex 3: Deep Cover Gecko received slightly positive and average reviews. The two last are Rex, a red Dinosaur who Gex unfroze from a block of ice in the "Holiday Broadcasting" channel, and Cuz, Gex's cousin, who Gex rescued from gangsters in the "Gangster TV" channel. Alfred can be found in parts of most levels and tailwhipping him gives useful advice. Alfred basically helps around and maintains Gex's secret lair which is known as "Mission Control". Gex is also joined by his faithful butler, Alfred the Tortoise, who is a slight character reference to Bruce Wayne's butler Alfred Pennyworth. Agent Xtra, a live action female government Spy and whom Gex must help rescue from the clutches of Rez. Charactersįour new characters appear in this sequel. Players can unlock and control three alternate characters, Rex, Cuz and Alfred, during bonus stages, though they play the same. Levels are accessed via a more expansive hub, with more areas unlocked as the player collects remotes from each of the levels.
Gex 3 combines some aspects from the first game not seen in the second installment, with the general 3D platforming from the second game. Also, similar to the first Gex game, he can collect footprint icons throughout the game which give him more energy, though unlike the first game, Gex retains the energy (eight hits total) once he collects one hundred footprints. Since there are one hundred per level, collecting bugs can get significantly more difficult than the items in Enter the Gecko. Unlike Enter the Gecko, when losing a life, Gex retains only the amount of bugs collected up to the latest checkpoint if the level has no checkpoint, Gex has to start from zero. He can spit fire and ice, as well as swim. There are also some aspects of the game that are shared only with the first installment, such as: Gex can only collect bugs in all levels (100 per level earns a remote) and secret levels, instead of the variety of items he collected in Enter the Gecko (skulls, TNT plungers, carrots, TVs, police plates, etc.).
Gameplay remains similar to the previous game, Gex: Enter the Gecko, with the addition of certain vehicles, such as a tank, a camel and a snowboard, as well as a gliding ability available with certain costumes. With the help of his newly hired turtle butler Alfred and new friends Rex and Cuz, Gex manages to destroy Rez once again. Each level parodies a certain aspect of television culture (here the levels exist as stand-alone channels). He teleports to the batcave-like lair he has in the Media Dimension, and begins another adventure. She then contacts him via his TV telling him that Rez has returned once more and has kidnapped her to get to Gex. When secret agent Gex is watching the news on his TV one day, he discovers that Agent Xtra (the agent from Gex: Enter the Gecko's backstory), head of the TV Terrorist Defense Unit, has been reported as missing.
