You want weird? Look no further than Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee. Mild-mannered factory worker Abe has discovered that his employers at Rupture Farms are planning to use his fellow Mudokons as the main ingredient in their latest product, Mudokon Pops. Like any decent Mudokon, Abe aims to rescue his peers. He also is determined to seek justice in his battle to bring down the corrupt Rupture Farms. You help Abe carry out his heroic duties by possessing enemies, participating in action sequences worthy of an Indiana Jones flick, and talking to fellow Mudokons using the game's impressive "gamespeak" feature, which allows multiple characters to communicate with each other using your control pad.

The graphics in Abe's Oddyssee convey a unique personality, which is often lacking in platform action games. Still, a few pretty game environments will not distract you from the devious puzzles scattered throughout the game. Fortunately, you never run out of lives in Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee. Instead, Abe rematerializes immediately after you "die" and the game continues from the last checkpoint you reached. This approach encourages exploration, which you'll want to do anyway since this is one of the most beautiful 2-D games we've seen. --T. Byrl Baker

Pros:

• Gorgeous graphics and cut-scenes
• Challenging puzzles
• Entertaining story

Cons:

• Many puzzles require perfect timing, which can be difficult to master

This review is from: Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee (Jewel Case) (CD-ROM)

THIS GAME FRICKIN' ROCKS A$$!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Abe's Oddysee is a video game about a slave/worker in a meat factory on Oddworld, and you have to help him escape form his evil boss, Mullock. It's got a CRAPLOAD of obstacles and puzzles and devices and other places and characters you get to solve, work, visit, and meet! It is very challenging, especially having to get through the dogs and Paramites (*shiver*) and Scabs. THEY WILL KILL!
I haven't actually beat the game yet, but my cousin got me cheats that get me to different levels of the game! You'll become TOTALLY ADDICTED to this! :-D

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolute favorite, December 18, 2001

If I could I would give this game 10 stars. It's my favorite computer game. You play Abe, a pathetic little mudokon with a destiny to save his race from becoming pie-filling. You work and puzzle your way through dangerous lands and incredible enviornments. Match wits with Scrabs, Sligs, Paramites and Slogs. A Must-have for any gamer.

I played it through a few times, and am now passing it down to my son for his birthday. It's lots of fun and challenging. Highly recommended for long-term fun.
