Gecko Gods

Lizards. Big fan. This is a good game, but has obvious flaws that keep it from being great. This game excels in its artistry. The music is amazing and the environmental sounds are just as good. The art direction and world design are also well put together. The story is complex enough, yet simple enough to grasp easily. The addition of the critters brings so much life into the game. Overall this game does everything that you would want the game to do. Despite my love for the game, there are a few glaring issues. The biggest of which is the terrain gaps. In numerous locations across the islands I found places where the terrain isn't placed properly allowing me to get into areas that I shouldn't be able to (not like a skip, but like a crevice or hole that shouldn't be accessible). The most obvious one was on the left in front of the Volcano island gate where the texture was warped near the bottom of the rock. There were other areas, but most were less obvious and you'd have to be looking for them to even notice. Another issue I had was in completing the Desert Island. Because I had completed the Volcano Island before the Desert Island, when I was going up the elevator after clearing the Desert, it triggered the Volcano gate opening sequence and my character glitched underneath the map. Luckily I found a way out. Those were my main immersion breaks, the other issues I have are rather negligible comparatively. All in all though, a good game.
