Seriously, it is just you, as I couldn't have been more satisfied with the game! I personally was worried before it came out, because of the cowboy theme and the chicken men and Abe and Munch going MIA. I went in with leery hopes, and was completely blown away at how great it was. I'm not even a fan of first person shooters, and it was one of the greatest game experiences I've ever had; definitely on par with Abe's Oddysee (which was the defining moment in my video gaming life). Who'd have thought Oddworld could throw out all their beloved, established characters, start with a clean slate, and still make the universe and cast just as likeable and compelling? It just concretely proves to me that the disappointment I felt after Munch's Oddysee was in no way the Inhabitants' fault, but that of Microsoft's deadline. Whether the next Oddworld game is Abe or the Stranger, I'll be perfectly happy!
