Game Description

Downtrodden Munch makes his Game Boy Advance debut in this port of the Xbox launch title, which is played from a side-scrolling viewpoint instead of the 3D perspective found in the original. Players control the alien as well as his expressive sidekick, Abe, as they begin an adventure to save their land from the nasty Glukkons. Both characters are played cooperatively to take advantage of their individual powers. The frog-like Munch, last of the Gabbit species, can glide across water, while Abe can perform chants to take control of unsuspecting enemies. Munch's Oddysee is the second in a series of Microsoft properties migrating to the 32-bit handheld as part of a June 2002 agreement forged between the Seattle-based software giant and publisher THQ. ~ Scott Alan Marriott, All Game Guide
