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

 Love this game October 23, 2008
I loved this game when it came out years ago and still love it today. Infinite live and infinite play. It's not a game that can live up to todays standards as far as garphics go but still fun in its own right.

First off,this game is extrordanarialy hard for young kids at the age of 5-9 who will most likley get so mad that...well you can guess the rest.Now that i have explained the hard bit we'll go to the good:almost everything!Creatures are maybe not the best but the graphics for the backround make you want to just keep walking and build a summer house there!Controls are easy to learn!And you'll usually have plenty of time to remember unless you are trying to do every single secret area.Great story too.Fantastic voices!Very funny most of the time.Very cool powers.It's a shame loads of people need to have 3D now.When I first got this game(I was 5)I thought it was very fun and very cool.Every time i got shot i almost fell off the bench!Then I stopped playing after a while because it was hard.Then I did the whole game through using a walkthrough with my mom.I was so amazed!It was impossibly cool how well the game unfolded.Then I even saw that you get another chance!Then i stopped again and played it in my spare time.Now i have decided to go and play through the game with alot of secrets.I am hoping for a good ending.So far i am doing reasonobly well.After buying this game if you like it buy Oddworld Abe's Exoedoss.It only got better there...
You will get hooked! April 22, 2006

A lot of the reviews here criticize this game for being difficult. I have this to say to that: DUH! Games are supposed to be difficult if they are going to be fun, right? If it were too easy, it might as well be a movie, right? (Though I hear that they are working on that :D)
Abe's Oddysee, as well as its sequels, have a few things in common that make them truly amazing:
1. Beautiful environments. I mean absolutely stunning. The artists working on this game capture an alien landscape with true finesse. There are a few times I just stop and gaze into the distance.
2. Great storyline, with characters to match. It's silly, but not so silly that it masks the anti-industrialist message. The game is something of a metaphor opposing clear-cutting and mass-species-extinction.
3. Refreshing style of play. It breaks from standard games by not having a life bar (one shot death in most cases), but that's balanced by having unlimited lives. Sure the puzzles are hard. Very hard. If you're up to the challenge, the rewards are soooo worth it.
Happy gaming, folks! This is a gem that shouldn't be missed.
uumm...ooooo...pretty colors...cool characters...aaahhh. December 3, 2005

i got this game just tonight and already i think it is the most complicated game on earth i mean come come on this makes resident evil whimper as far as puzzles,difficulty,and oooohhhh my gosh graphics,do you have any idea how hard that is to do?still this game has only a few flaws and by that i mean the puzzles are way to hard,but lets ACTUALLY talk about the game ok?,good first i must commend the game on its graphical bueaty,this really brings out not only the humor but the magnificance of the woderfully placed and crafted cutsenes the opening movie is really interesting and well done and its really humorous.the game itself is kinda differnt,the puzzles are as you know are not being talked about here.the game obviously has a lot of potential to be an instant classic but not quite yet do i think the game has reached that level of greatness that it deserves,but i still think that OW strangers wrath beats the living snot out of this one,i hope that no offense was taken to those hard core oddworld fans out there but this is what i think of this rather OOD game on the playstation gaming delight consle,i hope that this review was helpful to you who are reading this,now according to my review this might not seem like a good buy but whatever you do,think twice and dont let my review fool you(i mean that in a good way).
