ODDWORLD: MUNCH'S ODDYSEE


Reviewed by Shadow
OVERVIEW

Look what a twisted, hilarious game has come out for X-Box now!! In this 1 player adventure, you get to play as Munch (who is somewhat like a fish) and Abe (A humanoid with paws and his mouth sewn together) to try and stop the evil Vyykers from taking over the world!

What the...???


Who Passed that Gas?!?!?!

In a wonderful way to get you to interact with your allies in this game, you actually talk to them. Not as in �hey you, Pikachu� but there is a language called gamespeak you master to talk to your allies. You can tell them to work, get them to follow you, have them attack enemies, wait where they are, and you can even pass gas to get a great laugh!

Clams with eyes??? Now I've seen everything.


Now, with my remote controlled gabbit�

Single player mode in this game is a barrel of laughs. Whether your watching the cut scenes, looking at the newspaper, or just walking around, this game is a riot. It�s a lot of fun to try and get funny effects with abilities like Abe�s mind control and Munch�s Mad Machine skill. If you want a funny game that is truly the heir to the first games in the series.

Just look at the trees. The one thing that makes sense so far.


You're right! That is too high!

This game is not to be beaten by brute force, as it is essentially a puzzle game. If you want an action/adventure game, look at the rest of the reviews. Maybe you�ll find a good one. With the different abilities of the characters and the fuzzles, this game is a lot of fun. However, if you just run around trying to kill everything, this will be the most boring game you�ve ever played. And stop trying to burn X-box games�it doesn�t work. Yes, you drinking the soda. We know what your up to.

Things don't look good for Munch and Abe!


Ratings!!!
  • Graphics: 9.5 - This game has great graphics, and what with munch being a fish and all, takes full advantages of the X-box�s water capabilities. A few bad angles now and then, but not enough to hinder play.
  • Sound/Music: 7.5 - while the sound effects are good enough, most of the music sucks. Don�t buy this if you just want to listen to music. That�s what CD players are for.
  • Playability; 8.7 - This game is a lot of fun to play, but the controls can be a little awkward if you don�t know what you are doing� that happens quite a lot in this game though. What with the confusing but fun gamespeak described earlier, all you need to know is: A jumps. That�s it. Really.

    THE FINAL VERDICT

    8.5


    This game is actually pretty fun. Buy it if you feel like it.
