Whilst Munch's Oddysee is fucking awful, it didn't tarnish my beloved memories of the first 2 games in the series. I would recommend buying it just to give it a try, who knows you might be one of those rare few who find it enjoyable, but personally I couldn't stand it.
Bear in mind I was fairly young when it came out and was unaware of the time constraints poised upon my favorite franchise, but I still knew it was a pile of shit. My sister used to say I just wouldn't give it a chance because it was so drastically different from the first 2 games, but it was seriously just crap.
Put it this way, if you replaced all the Oddworld characters with characters noone had ever heard of, it would be panned by any critic, especially people like the members of this forum, so anyone who even tries to defend the game is bullshitting you.
Stranger on the other hand, whilst different, and Abe-less, is a cracking game. Go buy it my son!
