Danny John-Jules known for his performance as The Cat in the British sci-fi comedy series Red Dwarf provided the voice for Gex in the UK and European release of Gex 3: Deep Cover Gecko.

The plot
Gex discovers that Rez has kidnapped the lovely Agent Xtra (played by Baywatch star Marliece Andrada) that he met in Gex: Enter the Gecko's backstory. He rushes to the batcave-like lair he has in the TV world, and begins another adventure. Each level parodies a certain aspect of television culture. Gex enters each level through a television set. He must collect remote controls to advance to the next level in order to complete his mission.

Game overview
Two new characters appear in this sequel. Gex is joined by Agent Xtra, a buxom blonde bombshell who works for the government and whom Gex must help rescue from the clutches of Rez. Gex is also joined by his faithful butler, Alfred the tortoise who is a slight character reference to Bruce Wayne's butler Alfred Pennyworth. Alfred basically helps around (he can be found in parts of some levels and tailwhipping him give useful advice) and maintains Gex's secret lair which is known as "Mission Control".

Game stages
In Gex 3: Deep Cover Gecko the layout of the channel-worlds has been divided differently than the last two games. In Gex's third installment, we find that the channel-worlds exist as stand alone stages which obtain TV sets which teleport Gex to particular programming worlds of the current game stage that Gex has unlocked. The following is a run down of the game stages and worlds within these levels (Note: the word "broadcast", except "broadcasting", will be used as "unlock"):
