Oddworld-Web: Initial Impressions of Munch's Oddysee

I finally got my Xbox and Munch's Oddysee (only a month later than I was meant to!) and I must say the game is totally awesome!

Anyway, I have written a feature article on Oddworld-Web which is my initial impressions of the game. It's probably a bias view seeing that I am an Oddworld fan, but it is my honest opinion on what I think. I have given my initial impressions of different areas including gameplay, controls, camera and more.

http://www.oddworld.au.com/necrum-mi...ch-initial.htm

Although I did not include any spoilers of puzzles, the feature does include mention of some aspects of the game such as examples of characters and how things are controlled, etc.

Abe Babe...

Excellent review Abe Babe.

Yeah finally after a month of waiting you get it, just curious was it the power plug that wasn't working with your Xbox, and thats why it was sent away to be fixed?

Anyway, this just confirms what we've said, it is a good game

I had a question. Rather than start a new topic why not bring back an old one.

I read the article and you said the camera system was good but some gaming sites didn't like it. I wondered if you knew why gaming sites didn't like it (a question for anyone that has played Munch too).

Some sites said that the camera was "too far away" or "whipped around at frustrating points in the game." Rubbish. I didn't have problems with either of those.

I agree the camera is too far away, you can't see all the great details OWI put into the characters, they should have put a camera look mode were you can zoom in an examine the character. Right now Abe looks no different than the PS2 version cause you can't get close to see the difference for yourself. And in "game development" thats a waste of polygons..beside the camera I enjoyed the game, hey no game is perfect..

Oh, by the way Excellent Review Abe Babe! Your description is nice without spoiling the game for those who haven't played it. good job.

PS: yeh I think the Xbox controller is cool too, its just right!
