Munch's Oddysee is the third game of the Oddworld series, where you are on a quest to retrieve the last can of Gabbiar, which is basically the last chance for your species to survive. In this game you can control both Abe and Munch, and you have to switch between them during missions to continue, helping each other out. Abe can jump high and possess creatures, while Munch can swim and operate machines. The puzzles are good, but can be a little monotonous after a while, and there are a few annoying sections too. Unlike the first two games, which were 2D platforming ones, this game is fully 3D. Switching to the third dimension was quite OK, most of the time you can control your characters fine, but the camera can be a nuisance, and it's not without glitches. The graphics are pretty basic, especially the environment is quite barren and boring, but it gets the job done. You have to rescue your buddies too, Abe's job to lead the mudokon scrubs to freedom, and Munch can rescue Fuzzles, which seem cute, but they can bite quite hard, if you order them. You can get two endings (like in the previous games) depending how many of your friends you rescued. So overall it's a good game, but I still prefer the 2D ones for the much more fluent controls, diverse and beautiful environments, and better plot. Also, I didn't find Munch a very likeable character, unlike Abe. Play the first two games, but if you want some more odd action, get this after them.
