Well, due to the fact that Microsoft is invading the console market, I'm never going to get to play this game.

I loved the first two on my PS1, would've loved this on my PS2. So thanks Microsoft, thanks a lot.

Quirky.

With a messed up sense of fun (the central character is a fish confined to a wheelchair - I laugh cruelly!), it looks like this is going to be one of the launch games to watch. If you've played the previous Oddworld games, you'll feel right at home with the truly wacky style and strangely infuriating but addictive puzzle-type gameplay.

Note: not really for younger kids unless you want them having nightmares about their mouths being sewn shut and getting attacked by vicious alien monsters. But if you're old enough to appreciate black humor you'll love it.

Why change the platform

The platform has been changed to fit the Xbox only. The start of this series was also designed to be played on a PC. Why must we give up the fun of playing because we can't afford an Xbox in this time of change?

Great for those who like offbeat adventure games

The Oddworld series is known for its entertaining offbeat games, and this entry is no different. Munch's Odyssey is definitely worth giving a shot if you are a fan of platformers or adventure games, and like offbeat humor. A great title overall.

This game rules!

Today I finally received my Xbox, and purchased a copy of Oddworld to go along with it. What can I say?? I love this game!! It reminds me of Mario World on the N64, in that you send Abe and Munch all over the place solving puzzles and finishing quests as Mario World 64 had you doing with Mario, except Abe and Munch are much more cool and humorous than Mario EVER WAS!!! It's an absolute delight to play and if you liked Mario World but not the "kiddie" mentality of the game, then you will LOVE Oddworld!!

For lovers of the wacky adventure game

Yeah I admit it, I really love this game. It is just so chock full of character and personality it's really hard to not love it. Once you get by the wackness of it, there's a lot to like here.

Anyone who likes adventure classics like Monkey Island doesn't need to think twice here. Munch's Oddysee is five times as wacky as Monkey Island is at its wackiest (and that's pretty damn wacky). The characters are loveable and hillarious in their various twisted ways, and the story reads like something that a psychedelic proponent might come up with. The graphics are believable and chock full of eye candy that really give this game life.

That said if your a big action gamer that only likes fast paced games, you'll probably be bored stiff at this stuff. Slow going to be sure, but a lot of fun nonetheless. Maybe give it a rental first to see if its your style before buying. Personally though, I think its the best launch title for the Xbox after Halo.
