Vexx (PS2)

Vexx PS2 is an original platform action title that allows players to assume the role of the title character as he embarks on a dark quest to seek vengeance on those who enslaved his people and murdered his grandfather. Armed with the last pair of Astani Battlegauntlets, which leapt from their chest onto Vexx PS2's outstretched hands bonding to his arms and giving him special powers, Vexx PS2 embarks upon an heroic journey to confront the evil Dark Yabu, save his people, and avenge the death of his grandfather.

The game is spread over 18 huge levels spanning treetop canopy villages, mysterious caves, desert temples, underwater cities, deadly volcanoes, and more; each level's distinguishing landmark can be viewed from anywhere in the world in real-time. Day and night cycle with real-time lighting; night time changes the landscape and characters, with enemies becoming more aggressive and the environments more hostile. Hidden sundials allow players to change the time of day and gameplay, and hidden multi-player party games are unlocked as players progress through the single player world.

Ultra-responsive player controls react instantly to player inputs: gamers can cancel a move midway through and fire off extensive combo attacks. A free-climbing mode allows players to climb uneven surfaces and dangle beneath overhangs. Advanced environment mapping provides reflections, glows, and highlights on characters, and clothes, hair and trees respond dynamically to the environment. A highly flexible cinematic camera system, epic soundtrack and 3-D surround sound effects complete the package.
