RCmodeler Posted October 3, 2003 Share Posted October 3, 2003 I just tackled this game for the first time today. I admit at first I thought, "This game looks lame," but boy was I wrong! The sound is almost non-existent, but that's okay because the artistry of the graphics rivals the beauty of Ico! And the idea of beating enemies... not through stomping on them (Mario) or slashing them (Link)... but by *out-smarting* them is a satisfying change of pace. Modern gaming comapnies definitely need to make more 2D platformers like this one (and Metroid Fusion). I'm sick of the 3D crap. . ASIDE: I'm almost at the end of the game (the Tombs), but I'm still on disc 1. So, what's on disc 2??? Is it like FF7 where the final disc is mostly just pre-recorded movie?

NE146 Posted October 3, 2003 Share Posted October 3, 2003 I'm not too familiar with the Oddworld games.. which system is Abe's Exodus for? I've actually been meaning to try them out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liquid_sky Posted October 3, 2003 Share Posted October 3, 2003 i have it on PC, but i think it was also released on consoles.. its a really unique game with an odd sense of humor. Come to think of it, im in the mood to play that game now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PuddWakkr Posted October 3, 2003 Share Posted October 3, 2003 The abe games are great. Reminds me of the old rotoscoped games like out of this world and flashback. Also it loses nothing going to 3d at all, the munch's game on the xbox is awesome too. Can't wait for the next version due out middle of next year.

Emehr Posted October 3, 2003 Share Posted October 3, 2003 Abe's Oddysee and Abe's Exoddus both came out for PS1. Both are excellent but I like the first one (Oddysee) a bit more. It just seemed like a tighter game, and Abe's voice wasn't as annoying (they changed it slightly in Exoddus). The second one seems a bit easier than the first though I have yet to beat it (I'm near the end at a timed level...ugh). Whichever one you pick up, though, be sure to allocate plenty of time to play. There are some tough puzzles ahead... Jason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxy Cleopatra Posted October 3, 2003 Share Posted October 3, 2003 I have yet to beat the first one on the PS because the PS is no longer in my room but has been taken over by my son. The second ne I beat like... 3 years ago I think. I loved it very fun/funny. The third one the XBox was really good I enjoyed the change to a 3D game and the addition of Fuzzles, little bad-ass balls of fur that could get really mean (reminded me of the movie Crittrs) made me so happy. They were so cute. The new Odd World I don't believe features Abe or the Mudokon's at all... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MegaManFan Posted October 3, 2003 Share Posted October 3, 2003 I don't invest the time to beat every game that I own, but for these two I made an exception. They are FANTASTIC platformers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bargora Posted October 3, 2003 Share Posted October 3, 2003 Thumbs up for the Playstation Oddworld games! I've bought but haven't played the Xbox game, but I'm looking forward to sitting down with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
