I Solved Munch's Oddysee - What Game Do You Recommend?

[FuzzleFriend]

After playing with my game since christmas I finally solved Munch's Oddysee. No what? I'm a girl and don't like the sports games. I don't like Halo, I am looking for something along the lines of XBOX's Munch's Oddysee. ANy suggestions for other good X-Box games like it?

Many thanks.

gaaaaaaah!
*clutches heart and falls to the ground twitching and yelling " YOU DON'T LIKE HALO!?!?" over and over..*
actually pretty much all the games out now are either sports, racing or violence oriented..sorry!

Thanks for responding. My husband is hooked on Halo, he has already solved it but keeps trying to outdo himself. I am looking for a puzzle/stategy/entertainment game. I used to love Gobliins back in the early Microsoft windows 3.1 days. If anyone has a suggestion f what xbox or pc games are like that - please let me know. Thanks.

my god, you dont liek halo....... that game is sick...... o well, to bad you dont like stuff like doa3 either.... well, it might take a while maybe youll like crash when it comes out on x box.....

Well, if you haven't played them yet, there's always Oddworld: Abes Oddysee and Abe's Exoddus, the ones that came before MO. I think they're much better, and though they are different from MO, they are puzzle/stategy/entertainment games... much different from most games. You've probably played them, but if not... they're good.

They're for PC, by the way.

Many thanks I will give them a try.

Fusion Frenzy is a good multiplayer kinda "party/puzzle" game. I'm not quite sure if that is what your looking for...

I know what you mean, FF. One of the main reasons I liked the Oddworld series to begin with was because the games' strong points don't include being able to remove someone's head from their neck with a stream of bullets. Sports games? Bleagh. I say, go outside and do it yerself, ya bum.

AO has a great story -- heck, it's what started it all -- but the lack of a QuickSave feature can make you pull your hair out at times. AE has the QuickSave feature, but I didn't enjoy the story quite as well. Don't get me wrong, though, since it's as uberspiff as the first installment in the Oddworld series.

Another game with a great story line and a low count on blood is Batman Vengeance(sp?). It just plain rawks. There are lots of puzzles, and it really lives up to the hype. It's (almost) right up there with Oddworld. You should try renting it for Xbox. It's some great fun. (especially with invincibility. woo!)

tee hee

In a few weeks "Jet Set Radio Future" will be out on 2/19 in the U.S. it was a pretty cool game on Dreamcast, and not so violent. Yeh, I'm in the same situation only game I have is Munch for XBox. But I plan to try "Jet Set Radio Future" that should be a good one.

Cant wait! Cant wait! Cant wait!!!

[Disgruntled Intern]

what exactly is the plot to this jet set radio future game?

[SeaRex]

To Disgruntled-
1. Vandalize Neo-Tokyo.
2. Avoid cops.
3. Have turf wars with rival gangs.
4. A plot twist that won't be revealed until you play it

I got my Anjelic Quarma too. I don't enjoy killing all the good guys much but if I want to get all the different endings I guess I'll have to. After that I was going to buy AZURIK for the X-Box, that looks to be along the same lines as ODDWORLD.

Mike...Azurik SUCKS!
i rented it thinking the same thing..it's just a horrible game. your character only has two possible attacks...of course they can be enhanced by the elements, but the game is a dud just the same. i beat it in exactly 9 hours..not all at once mind you, but still

[Brew Master]

I agree, Azurik BLOWS!
I'd buy Munch's Oddysee again just to have 2 copies before playing Azurik again. Azurik is no where near on the lines of Munch..Munch is a Trillion times better! Azurik makes me sad, very very sad.
