Of all the things that irritated me when playing through Munch's Oddysee, Munch's controls did it the least. It's more a case of finding it incredibly dull to try and get him from one end of the level to the next, but then MO did that always. I even got bored of watching the camera swivel whenever I jumped in a well - that never happened in the first games. MO was just a slow game that lacked excitement. Being chased by a herd of Scrabs just turns out to be dull.

In principle, I like the idea of having to use two separate characters tactically, but it does actually double all the tedious travelling around in a game.
