    Stunning. "Oddworld" is better than it's ever been, and everything about "Oddworld: Munch's Oddysee" is refined, polished, and utterly playable.

    While solving these puzzles is great fun, the crane work gets a bit repetitive and it's not the seamless platform adventure we'd hoped for.

    Huge lands, lots of moving characters, and plenty of special effects all show off just what the X-box is capable of.

    The final product comes off as anything but polished, and suffers from a lack of variety, and an overabundance of repetition that keeps this game from truly shining like I wished it would.

    I enjoyed this game even more than Abe's oddysee and Exoddus. The game is short, but surprisingly pleasing.

    It is an okay game, but far (almost nothing) from what it could and should have been. The puzzles are way too easy if not repetitive and require quick reflexs rather than actual thinking. It would probably be found entertaining to young gamers due to the lack of some type of seriousness and difficulty. To understand the plot you had better have played the other previous games and looked on the internet. The only thing this game has going for it really is that it is 3D and good graphics.… Expand
