In English, there is such concept: “aged badly”. It refers to phenomena that at the time of its appearance in the light were hoo, and now, a year later, or five, or twenty five years outdated. Typical examples of aged badly – string of the pre-Oscar films, most of which now look impossible. The games that expression also applies Preselectable; to them, perhaps, primarily because of their technical dependencies.
Replay now in (some) hits of 90’s- painful, almost masochistic exercise. Try it and see. Or I have to suffer with the combination – start mobile port of Oddworld: Munch’s Oddysee – confidence that used to be better, will evaporate instantly.
In principle, this part of Oddworld from the very beginning, was with some flaws – the game showed a bunch of claims, focused, primarily, on the three-dimensionality – could not, say, a normal 2D platformer to do, be sure to izgalyatsya? Couldn’t Microsoft desperately promoted my first Xbox and she desperately needed a bright, passionate and three-dimensional platformers to plug competitive Ratchet & Сlank – so some parts of Oddworld (temporarily) went only on the first Xbox. The same fate has touched Munch’s Oddysee – good, but not great platformer, which is known mainly due to the charm of the entire series.
Munch’s Oddysee with the course proposes to read the backstory, and you agree – Oddworld complex universe full of different races (for example, modelName – Yes, a well written), flora, fauna and what not.
Plot the game continues the events of the first two parts – a race of Geckonav (such an evil and vile creature, ugh) staged the genocide of Gabitov – and this kind of odelay frogs. The causes of genocide are not well understood, except for the fact that eggs are considered a delicacy Gabitov in this difficult, contradictory world. At some point, the villains catch the latest gabbit named Munch, thrown him into his flying saucer and there introduce the frog in the head with an electric gun. Manchu manages to escape and he, leaping over countless bays an enemy ship, desperately looking for a way out.
Meanwhile! Another race is probably already your favorite mudranov learns of the sad story of a local leader, the Mighty Raisin, charge Aibu (the protagonist of the previous parts) to deal with injustice, freeing Mancha.
If you are quiet boil you head and sad eyes run through the text – not necessary: just close the page. The beauty of Oddworld’s always been deliberate, slightly art-house, but always charming madness. 2D platformer, 3D platformer, shooter – all in Oddworld, but on the ninth cast. The main thing – the constant surprise from the collision with gushing fantasy authors.
Moreover, it is to play Munch’s Oddysee delightfully boring – perhaps the weakest from this point of view part. The first two were standard issue, but dashing platformers, Stranger’s Wrath is quite a cool shooter with almost a “bosakowski” mechanics. Munch’s Odyssey somewhere in the middle – shoot here, but stupid, on ledges, particularly not jump, to the same very annoying control all sorts of inferior beings – they have you here on the rights of local dogs. Minions can send someone to cut the head or to stand on specific points to open the gate. Perhaps, everything – the whole process boils down to that. Ah, still have to collect the yellow, uh, mushrooms (?) then going to the opening of the gate.
Well, again – badly aged. The graphics is quite disgusting, with no potentially good art here does not help: thanks an Xbox and a miniscule capacity for it. Maps are small, but empty – in the desert a few casually scattered objects. To top it off – a very mediocre port, the same as Stranger’s Wrath is directly transferred management, unstable work. At least store them in the cloud added, thank you.
Again, Munch’s Oddysee was never a great game – even when released. Now, after so many years, the situation has deteriorated dramatically. To buy the app (almost 300 rubles), you can, if you’re a fan or collector (digital versions?), or want to see something extraordinary is true, not the fact that good.
