A note, for those who can't play it on the Playstation.Go and get this game, by buying, begging or burglary, just find a way to play this wonderful piece of gaming.
I wasn't aware there was a third Oddworld game, but by the looks of it Munch's Oddysee doesn't really follow the 2D platform idea, and that's what makes it extra special for me.Takoto said:Abe's Oddysee took up so many hours of my life when I was younger, as did Abe's Exodus, and Munch's Oddysee.
I thought it was just because he was a slave, did many of them not have they're lips sewn up?Amarok said:*angry nerd glasses*
Not ALL Mudokons have stitched lips; Abe had his mouth sewn up because he cried loudly as a baby!

Painkillers? Careful, don't end up like seriel painkiller addict Max Payne.Monkfish Acc. said:This was one of my favorite games ever when I was younger.
I would thank you for the blast of nostalgia, but all this rose-tinted vision is making me nausious.
I am going to go lie down now.
And also take some painkillers.
Yay painkillers.
(Seriously, though, good review)

Dude. It's awesome.FelixFox. said:Has anyone played Stranger? If so, what's the opinion?
Damn, wish I picked it up when it was in the shops now. However with that good of a recommendation I'll have to find a copy.plastic_window said:Dude. It's awesome.
Brilliant graphics for the Xbox - they still look good if you ask me, with some beautiful animations, varied settings and character designs; comfortable controls for both 3rd and 1st person view-points; a typically dark and comical Oddworld storyline.
The only bad thing for me is the lack of sound quality, it's so low and gravelly during gameplay that you'll need to turn on subtitles, but during the exquisitely-rendered cutscenes it's fine.
If you have the means, go pick it up. One of the best console-shooters ever made.
I think Stranger typifies what Oddworld was as a developer. Oddworld tried something radical that they hadn't done before and, for me, they pulled it off. They were a company that wanted to tell good stories in a medium that they were good at telling stories in. They had a habit of doing things a little bit differently than most other developers.dunnace said:Haha, thanks for the praise guys, stitch lips noted (I can't believe I forgot that...) and Strangers was an odd one for me, I initially hated it for not having muddokens and sligs in, but I grew to love it, whether it's an Oddworld game is still a bit of a moot point with me. Munch was too hard, even for Oddworld.
we can only hope. but that was a very thourough, well constructed review of a very good game. kudos to you and your review writing skillsThe Great JT said:Maybe this means we'll see more of Abe, Munch and the others!
