Great game! Loved playing it on Playstation. It broke, replaced with XBOX, so to have the same game again is great! Graphics are great and I'm still learning to navigate, but I'm having a blast!

Why Not?

This game is one of the best... and if you have kept up with the Oddworld games you must have this one in your collection.

Return of the Gabbits.

MUNCH'S ODDYSEE is the first game in the Oddysee franchise that I have played. The first two games in the series were released on Playstation formats, but MUNCH'S ODDYSEE came out on X-Box and was one of the launch games of that system. I first played this game at a friend's house not long after it came out. I was fascinated by the amazing graphics and having different characters in the world literally follow the main characters around. It wasn't until recently, however, that I was able to get the game myself and play it all the way through.

MUNCH'S ODDYSEE is the third game in the Oddworld series. If you're like me and have never played any of the other games in the series, that's okay because there's a movie at the beginning of the game that explains Abe's adventures in the first two games and the connection between Abe's race, the Mudokon's, and Gabe's race, the Gabbits. Munch is the last living Gabbit, but is captured by the evil Vykkers, a race of creatures bent on domination, consumerism, industrialism, and environmental destruction. Munch is taken captive and one of the early levels of MUNCH'S ODDYSEE involves helping Munch escape from the Vykker's labs' ship. Once Abe and Munch meet up, the general storyline of the game involves getting back to the Vykker's Labs ship to rescue the egg crates full of Mudokon young and save the last can of Gabbit eggs in existence.

The graphics in the game are amazing. It feels and looks like you are playing a movie. This shouldn't come as a surprise because the Oddworld series was originally conceived as a set of films. However, the company, Oddworld Inhabitants, started making video games instead. Oddworld Inhabitants has gone back to their original plans and the first Oddworld movie is apparently in production.

As for game play, MUNCH'S ODDYSEE is simple enough that even most beginning gamers can play along fairly easily, yet the game has enough challenges to make it interesting enough for life-long gamers. The game is fun to play and appeals to children and young adults, but has enough humor and oddity to appeal that it appeals to older gamers, too. Now that I've experienced Oddworld, I'm looking forward to the cinematic tales Oddworld Inhabitants will bring.

You can buy this for pc also, simply awesome graphics, very realistic, but corny at the same time. Depends on where your humor level is...and if the great graphics are enough for you. Gameplay, good for kids...not so much for adults.

Just not fun!

Graphics: Amazing-looking worlds. Unfortunately, the characters are so ugly that it actually detracts from the fun. And I've got to stare at their backs for the ENTIRE game? Whose idiotic idea was that?

Gameplay: Neither Abe nor Munch can defend themselves without hassling others to help them. They can fart and chant to make green fruit grow, that's about all they can do by themselves. Munch waddles and pathetically hops, making him a total loser.
The levels are complicated, confusing, slow, convuluted and annoying.

Music: Minimalistic, but that's a good thing, considering you'll hear it again and again as you struggle to get out of each level.

I can't grasp how, even five years ago, someone could find this fun to any stretch. I got this for 2 bucks, and it's horrible! Thank God I traded it back in at another store for the same $ in store credit.
Don't worry, there's still time to return your copy. Play Mario or Sonic instead: they blow this crap out of the water!

Love This Game

I'm not really a big fan of playing videogames. Some entertain me more than others. I've always been a fan of oddworld games, and I have almost every single one. If you enjoy weird creatures, and entertaining videogames, I think you'll love this one.

Wonderfully goofy

I became addicted to this one for the same reason I've been addicted to other games: It strikes just the right balance between being challenging and doable. I did have to hit the hint sites several times to get past areas where I was "stuck;" I also relied on the ability to save at any point. If I had had to replay levels over and over to succeed I may have given up; this is a problem in "Fable," for instance. The only big drawback I found was that in too many areas it was dark and difficult to see. There's also some minor annoyance when the camera controls don't always let you view from the angle you really want. But overall the humor and fun made this one of the best games I've played on Xbox.

pretty annoying

I give this game a little credit on the graphics but other than that it's pretty annoying, from the controls (especially Munch)to the character's voices. This isn't my style of game but I'm sure some will like it.

Both fun and funny

This is a pretty hilarious game. My little sister loves it. The graphics are nice and the story is interesting. It can be pretty challenging at times so some smaller kids my not be able to play it without help.

WORST GAME EVER
