Why is Munch’s Oddysee an Xbox exclusive?
Oddworld Inhabitants were already growing increasingly frustrated with the difficulty of development and the limited capabilities of the PlayStation 2 when the Xbox’s specifications were released. Expecting the A.L.I.V.E. 2 game engine to power their next few games, OWI wanted to make it the best they could to avoid sub-par limitations, so they moved development to Microsoft’s machine.Part of the deal between OWI and Microsoft was that the title remained Xbox exclusive, although Microsoft later licensed production of an Oddworld game for the GameBoy Advance to be published by THQ.
