Oddworld : Munch's Oddysee Description
Oddworld is clearly one of the lead titles for the Xbox launch, particularly as it was stolen from under the noses of expectant PS2 owners. And for Xbox owners this is clearly cause to celebrate, because Oddworld is an excellent title. Humour, a superb control system and excellent animation combine to lift what is basically a 3D platform and puzzle game right to the top of the genre. In the game, you control either Abe or Munch. That's not to say that you can choose which character you use, rather you are forced to swap between characters depending on what level you are on. Each has different characteristics and abilities. Using whichever character you are currently controlling, you must proceed through the level using your skill and timing, and as the game progresses, increasingly your brainpower, to negotiate the obstacles that stand in your way. You can interact with your fellow characters, and even enlist them to fight, or perform spells on your behalf to open gates and so on. All of this is held together with some absolutely beautiful intro animations, and superb in-game characterisation.| Publisher: | Infogrames | Platform: | XB | Category: | Action / Adventure | Players: | 1 |

Features
- Play as a team - players use Munch and Abe cooperatively to make their way through the trials of Oddworld. Leverage both characters' unique strengths:
- Abe- Abe can climb and jump to reach new areas, and then run to escape from dangerous enemies. When all else fails, chant to take control of the enemy's soul, and use their guns to clear a path to safety.
- Munch - Munch can swim around the new realms of Oddworld. When on the ground, zip along with a wheelchair power up. Need to move some yapping Slogs out of the way? Just use Munch's nifty remote control head port to fire up the crane and drop those Sloggies in their pen.
- Special psychic powers - Munch and Abe's psychic powers can extend their reach and get others to do the dirty work:
- As Abe - Let Abe's chant roar to take possession of a gun-toting Big Bro Slig and clear almost anything out of the way. Abe can use spooce or spiritual power gained by harvesting SpooceShrubs to posses other creatures as well, but why think small?
- As Munch - If Abe can't mesmerize someone into getting the job done, Munch can use his handy remote control head port to hijack nearby machines including cranes, and 50-caliber Anesthesia bots to tackle the really tough obstacles.
- Power-Ups - Every friendly character you can find becomes a fighting ally, Fuzzles, Mudokons. Need to get somewhere quickly or get over a wall, like right now? Use Oddworld's consumer power-ups like Expresso and Bounce to amp up Munch and Abe's abilities to perform cool moves. For the more direct approach, possess high-caliber weapon toting enemies.
- Oddworld, now in "new and improved 3D!" - it's a whole new Oddworld, with lush rivers, towering mountains and hundreds of trees that bloom or die. Graphics so amazing, only the Xbox can bring them to life.
- Interact with dozens of different oddball races - use GameSpeak to get Oddworld's Inhabitants from the heavily armed Big Bro Sligs to the cute but ferocious Fuzzles) to carry out tricky tasks or just beat the crap out of enemies.
- "Frustration Free" gaming - Oddworld's new intelligent cinematic camera, auto-targeting system and no-stick navigation system makes playing a breeze! Plus with easy
- QuikSave and limitless lives, players have plenty of chances to take on any situation no matter how Odd!
