The Oddworld games are one of my favorite game franchise next to conker. I have happened to own this game maybe around the early 2000's (maybe 2001) . This is an example of a game that gives me the perfect nostalgic feeling. I want to try to review every oddworld game that has been made. Lets get on to the review!
STORY: 10 [NOTE: MAY HAVE SPOILERS]
The story is about this guy named Abe, who is a Mudokon. He has been a slave for Rupture Farms for some time now. Him and his buddies have been chopping up meat of Meeches (which are extinct), Scrabs, and paramites for tasty products. One night, Abe was mopping up the floors when he discovers a new product about to be made called "New 'n' Tasty" soon to hit the shelves. He then realises that the new kind of meat was him and his Mudokon friends. Now he must go deep into Rupture Farms and save them and escape.
SOUND: 10
The game has a tons of sound effects and awesome music. The music is like jungle ambient mixed with techno. The sound effects have a bunch of explosions, roars and screeching of the Paramites and Scrabs, squeaky talking of Abe and Mudokons, and even the footsteps of Abe are nice.
DEPTH: 10
This game has a whole lot of cool things. The game is supposed to be like a puzzle game. You can talk to other Mudokons. You can tell the Mudokons to follow you. The sayings are on a display menu called Gamespeak. You can chant to posses other enemies. You can throw bombs at the enemies. There are also a lot of tricky and clever secrets in parts of the levels.
ADDICTIVENESS: 10
I could play this game any day! There is really nothing to say about this. It is that fun.
DIFFICULTY: 8
Okay, this game can get really frustrating But that frustration is all worth it. The enemies of this game are Sligs (which are guards of Rupture Farms) That can be seen on any level, Paramites, Scrabs, Slogs (which are dog-like creatures) and Fleeches (which are leeches that can chase you). Bombs are also an enemy of the game
GRAPHICS: 10
For the original PlayStation, this looks just amazing. The world of the game is just perfectly detailed. There are also perfectly animated cut scenes. My favorite level would be the Scrabania level. It almost looks like Endor from Star Wars. Rupture Farms Has an amazing style of architecture. The homeland of the Mudokons is just perfectly made.
OVERALL: 10 I have seen some awesome ps1 games back in the day but this one just nails it! There are some people out there who finds this game creepy. I don't see anything creepy about this game whatsoever. I highly recommend it for people who grew up in the late 90's and early 2000's.
