First of all, this is what we call an OPINION. OPINIONS are not always what you would like them to be, and that's just the way life is. Get used to it.
Second of all, stupidity is not disliking Oddworld, stupidity is cancelling your IGN Insider subscription because of a review. A rewiew, for Christ's sake! What are you, three years old!? ("Timmy doesn't like chocolate ice cream, so I'm not his friend any more!") This all goes back to that OPINION thing I was talking about. If you get this angry every time someone has a different OPINION than you, you are not going to have many friends or get very far in life.
Third, did it ever cross your mind that maybe this guy is right? I mean, have you actually played the game? Instead of getting all crazy when someone gives your beloved Munch a bad review, why don't you stop and think, "Hmm... Maybe it isn't such a spectacular game after all?" I mean, it IS a proffessional opinion. The review over at Gamespot was 7.9. At TeamXbox, it got a 4.1 (Out of 5). Maybe the game is just a "good" game. Not a spectacular game. Not an amazingly amazing game. Just good. However, if you get the game and love it, then great. You have a different OPINION than IGN.
There is nothing wrong with not liking Munch's Oddysee. There is still Hand of Odd, Munch's Exoddus, Squeek's Oddyssee, and so on to look forward to. There is Abe's Exoddus and Abe's Oddyssee to play and love. After all, this is Oddworld Forums, not Munch's Oddyssee Forums.
I think the problem is that all of our expectations of the game were too high. We talk about it for two years, it keeps looking better and better, we buy xboxes JUST for Munch, then the game just turns out to be good. Not revolutionary, but good.
