Gaming since the early 90s.
No preferences in systems or mediums, gaming is all that matters. I'm on a quest to retroactively log (and review if applicable) every game I played/beat over the course of my 30+ (and counting) years in gaming. My personal rating values for reviews:
5.0 - Masterpiece
4.5 - Excellent
4.0 - Very Good
3.5 - Good
3.0 - Fairly Good / Above Average
2.5 - Average
2.0 - Below Average
1.5 - Poor
1.0 - Very Poor
0.5 - Terrible / Unplayable

Levels are TV/Movie theme-based and Gex wears different costumes depending on said themes. The controls and platforming are nothing extraordinary, your character can jump to progress throughout the levels and attack enemies with a different set of moves. Level design varies in terms of quality and fun but overall this is a decent platformer of its time that unfortunately never had the time to beat/complete.
For the time, it had some interesting concepts and ideas setup with a mission based 3D-Environment. What held this back for me personally were some of the cryptic puzzles, game bugs, and frustrating control at times (depending on the animal/robot you were in control).
Despite the easy-to-spot improvements on all fronts, I still hold F1 Pole Position as my favorite F1 N64 game just because of what it represented at the time of its release. Nevertheless, World Grand Prix was at the time the best F1 game you could get, featuring updated rosters, teams, and car liveries.
