    Despite its shortcomings in regards to controls and camera, Oddworld: Munch’s Oddysee is worth every minute of frustration.

    It doesn’t matter if they are given a lick of paint, or rebuilt from scratch, as long as the final game is something that can be enjoyed and it is clear that Munch’s Oddysee has had less attention than Abe’s remaster, but it is still a game that I am happy to play again and am thankful for the opportunity.

    As fresh today as it was 12 years ago, Munch’s Oddysee’s clever puzzles, likeable characters, and weird personality are a joy to experience. It’s a shame about the camera, though.

    However fun Oddworld: Munch's Oddysee HD may be to play — and again, it is quite good on that front — it's a lot less enjoyable to look at.

    This isn't the best episode of the franchise, but that doesn't mean it's bad. It's a good 3D adventure, even though the visual upgrade isn't too relevant.

    An average platformer that does show its age on the PlayStation Vita. Still fun and humorous in parts, the game is arguably the weakest entry in the Oddworld franchise and only makes the wait for New 'n' Tasty seem that little bit longer.

    It doesn't get close to the stylistic perfection of the first chapters, and the control scheme isn't well developed as it should be. On the other hand, if you love the brand and have a Vita, this could be the chance to carry it with you at all times, although not in its best form.

    Just Add Water has ensured that this Vita version is the best that is possibly can be without altering the original’s design. Newcomers should opt for New ‘N’ Tasty or Stranger’s Wrath first, but this will be waiting for you should you want to complete your collection.

    Experience the classic Munch’s Oddysee in HD!. Improved graphics and sound make for an even more thrilling ride! Play as the Munch the Gabbit as he hops and swims his way to bringing his species back from extinction.

    Good: one of the most well-done remakes I've seen in years, completly redone graphics and sound.Bad: if you are new to the series or the "Oddworld Universe" like yours truly, you may be a bit lost, but once you walk around a bit and get a feel for the characters,you'll be right at home.Verdict: if you consider yourself a veteran of Oddworld games, this is a no brainier, a fresh complete re-make of a classic title, almost a brand new game compared to the original, you can't possibly miss this title. And if you are a newbie, this would be the perfect "jumping on point" especially for Vita owners, all of the abilities of the handheld are shown in full force in Munchs Oddysee HD!Leave a comment below and tell us what you thought of Munchs Oddysee HD!    … Full Review »

The story has enough depth, and has some sad moments here and there which makes you care for the characters. The game-play isn't easy to get used to since its a remaster from an X Box game. Graphics look crisp too!
    As of now the game is worth 7 US dollars, so if you feel like it, you should give this game a try!    … Full Review »
