Oddworld: Munch's Oddysee for the Game Boy Advance is an adventure game that emphasizes problem-solving over the more traditional punch-and-jump play mechanics that are typical of the genre. Each level is a large puzzle that needs to be solved. Players can switch between Abe and Munch, the two main characters, at any time. Both have unique abilities that allow them to access certain areas that are off-limits to the other character. Through trial and error, your job is to figure out the specific combination of levers, transporters, and moving platforms that will lead you to the exit. Although this isn't one of the GBA's better-looking games, the real failure here is that the humor and charm that made the mazelike levels in the console Oddworld games so bearable is missing. It only takes three or four hours to play through Munch's Oddysee, but, due to the uneventful pacing, it feels more like forty.
