Thanks for the heads up, I might take a look.Nailog said:A note, for those who can't play it on the Playstation.
It's available for purchase on Steam as well as Good Old Games.
Exactly. Exodus was a better game, I was really glad they added the "Allaya" command. It didn't have the same impact that Oddysee had, being a direct sequel, but it added a lot and was an amazing game by itself.Rascarin said:Exoddus was the best, then Oddysee

Not ALL Mudokons have stitched lips; Abe had his mouth sewn up because he cried loudly as a baby!

Has anyone played Stranger? If so, what's the opinion?
Oddworld is what got me hooked on gaming again after a long haitus. A friend of mine had just bought a Playstation and he showed me the Abe's Oddyssey demo. From that moment I fell in love. It was mainly the amazing visualization that just grabbed me by the balls.dunnace said:Haha, thanks for the praise guys, stitch lips noted (I can't believe I forgot that...) and Strangers was an odd one for me, I initially hated it for not having muddokens and sligs in, but I grew to love it, whether it's an Oddworld game is still a bit of a moot point with me. Munch was too hard, even for Oddworld.
Yeah, you got a point there. I was thinking along similar lines with some of them having their eyes stiched aswell and so on. Man...I loved those smileys of Abe games with all the different Mudokon emotions and stitches .Amarok said:*angry nerd glasses*

Aaah, I think I might just buy it again on Steam
Damn. When I realised that the developers had jumped the ship and no longer made games for Playstation it really crushed my spirit. I'd love to try this...maybe someday.plastic_window said:Dude. It's awesome.
Brilliant graphics for the Xbox - they still look good if you ask me, with some beautiful animations, varied settings and character designs; comfortable controls for both 3rd and 1st person view-points; a typically dark and comical Oddworld storyline.
The only bad thing for me is the lack of sound quality, it's so low and gravelly during gameplay that you'll need to turn on subtitles, but during the exquisitely-rendered cutscenes it's fine.
If you have the means, go pick it up. One of the best console-shooters ever made.
The Abe demo is what got me hooked in console gaming too. I must have played that demo a good 50 times before just going out and buying the game. I never knew how to chant in the demo so I finished atleast half of the game without it . Best demo ever.Casual Shinji said:Oddworld is what got me hooked on gaming again after a long haitus.

Yeah, Munch's Oddysee was 3D. It was still pretty fun. There was also a forth Oddworld game, but it didn't feature Abe... It was Oddworld: Strangers Wrath.woem said:I wasn't aware there was a third Oddworld game, but by the looks of it Munch's Oddysee doesn't really follow the 2D platform idea, and that's what makes it extra special for me.
I agree with you. Not just the "Allaya" command, the quicksave was a Godsend.AboveUp said:Exactly. Exodus was a better game, I was really glad they added the "Allaya" command.

Agreed. I have fond memories of both this and Exoddus.Dale Cooper said:Great review of a great game.
Didn't "Stitch lips" become his nickname in general, or like a messianic name? I remember Raisin called him that.Amarok said:Are you questioning my divine nerdy will!?

Meh, ok, maybe wasn't the only one to have his lips stitched up - but certainly not every Mudokon has 'em In Abe's Exoddus he was called "Stitch lips" as some kinda taunt from another Mudokon.
