Vexx or Ray-man 3 - which to buy?

[farfel]

I don't have time to play both & both have good - not great - reviews.

[Half Japanese]

I'd say Vexx is a little more interesting in the end than Rayman 3.

[PapaStu]

I'd say Rayman. Go pick up Rayman 2 and 3 and enjoy them. Both are great games and can both be had for about 20 used nowadays.

[Ikari Warrior]

Both are pretty good, Rayman 3 is much shorter, like 7-9 hours. I'd say Vexx is more like 15-20 and is considerably more difficult.

[Querjek]

I have Vexx and I stopped playing because some of the goals got really annoying... and, I forgot what my goals were

[videogameking26]

Both are really good but like others said Rayman 3 is shorter and with the harder diffcuity I say checkout Vexx.

I own both and can say some of the Hearts you got to find in Vexx are nuts

Save yourself the trouble and buy Beyond Good and Evil if you don't have it already.

[esquire]

Which system is this for? If its for the XBOX, I'd throw a monkey wrench into your question and say try Voodoo Vince instead. It's a great platformer.

[Querjek]

Bah... Voodoo Vince i sok, but I keep getting lost in that level in the square where you have to go to the pawn shop in a long chain of events.

[NintendoMan]

I just picked up both titles on the same day about 2 months ago. I really like Rayman 3, but really haven't spent that much time on VEXX. I would still say Rayman 3 is better.

[chicnstu]

I bought Rayman 3 from Funcoland and beat it in 2 days. It was very fun while it lasted but it was just too short.

I'll definitely second that. Best $20 I ever spent on a platformer.

[Jasoco]

I'll vote for Vexx too. I loved it. But the final boss is impossible. I haven't beaten him, but it was challenging enough to keep me coming back, at least for the Hearts I could get.

Same story with Mario Sunshine. But in Sunshine you HAD to get some of the really hard "Shines" whereas in Vexx and SM64 alike, you only needed certain numbers of Hearts/Stars to get places. This is the part I liked.

If I were to choose which game I'd play through again, I'd pick Vexx because of the detail and playability. It was basically Mario 64 with a totally reworked graphics engine and new characters.

I've played the RayMan games (1 and 2) and both are really good as well, but also get really hard. I'd still pick Vexx. Was well worth the $5 I paid for it.

Perhaps after I beat Fable and get bored of Donkey Konga and beat whatever else is on my plate, I'll play through Vexx again.. or just play from where I am. As like Mario 64, you can go back to a certain heart and play through to it as if you never did before unlike some games. I like this. It makes it more replayable since you can go back to a boss again even if you beat him already unklike games like Zelda and suck. (Ever since Zelda Ocarina, I've wanted to play the Kotake/Kume [sp] battle again.)

BG&E is a platformer? It didn't feel like it. It felt like a generic adventure game like Pitfall

Pitfall is a platformer...it's usually considered to be the very first.

Well, a game that good is not a "generic" adventure. I would consider it an adventure/platformer game though.

argh! I was thinking Zelda but that's not what my fingers type. Weird.


I meant BG&E feels more like Zelda than a platformer

[Psycho Mantis]

go with rayman. vexx was good, but sometimes the game would just be annoying. rayman is some good fun.
