Here is a review by The IB, Working on a PlayStation game that is called Abe’s Oddysee. Abe’s Oddysee was released for the PlayStation 1 on September 19th, 1997. This game is the first game in the Oddworld series which was created by an independent gaming company called “Oddworld Inhabitants”. This game here, you control a protagonist named Abe, he’s a special Mudokon who has his lips stitched shut, but still can be able to talk, and he is a slave at a meat process plant called Rupture Farms, and your quest is to escape from the plant and save all the Mudokons that are also trapped into slavery, trying your best to avoid enemies such as Sligs, Slogs, Scrabs, Paramtes, and just to name a few, and depending on how many Mudokons you save, it can have a real effect on the storyline, either if it’s good or bad, it’s wise it stays good. Anyways, I think this is one epic game, why I say so, just read the rest of the review.

 

Graphics..

I think with my standpoint with Abe’s Oddysee, for the PlayStation 1 game released in 1997, it is quite amazing, it really brings a new element with the not just the PlayStation console, but also the Platformer genre. I think on how Oddworld Inhabitants did with this game, they really put a lot of time and effort on creating this amazing game. I really like some of the sprites on all the characters, like Abe / other Mudokons, I also think the background are quite nice as well, the industrial scenery of Rupture Farms, the environment of Monsaic, Paramonia, and Scrabania, and a lot of other things makes everything quite nice, even on the PlayStation 1. Although this generation (5th video gaming generation), we have got into more 3D gaming with more 3D graphics, this game keeps the 2D style gameplay with a little more 3D graphics, and I think personally is what really made this game a really amazing game. And that does make a really good game a really good game; it’s all in the graphics and other things as well.

For the graphics, I have to give this game a perfect 10 out of 10. I think for a 1997 games, having these good quality graphics this early in the PlayStation’s lifespan, I think this is a really good sign that the PlayStation will be one interesting console and the graphics in this game is one of those games that really open Sony to a whole new world of gaming.

 

----------


Sound/Music..

The Sounds and the music in Abe’s Oddysee, I really like it. Let’s start with the sound effects. I think with the Paramites, and the Scrabs screams and their roars I think are pretty top notch for the game, and also some of the environment is also quite amusing like the bee sounds, the birds, and everything else in the setting, and it’s not just the nature, but also the industrial parts of Rupture Farms also has added to the sound effect mix as well. But the big thing I do like is the gamespeak, Abe, the other Mudokons, the Sligs, and the Glukkon all have these features which I really know that it’s spot on with the voices. So, I think the biggest part of the game is the sound effects.

For the music though, I am quite amused with some of the tunes in each of the levels played, although it’s not as amusing as the sound effects in the game, but not really a whole lot. I still think no matter what anyone thinks on this, it still have quite an amazing soundtrack. My favorite soundtrack has to be the Rupture Farms music, not sure, but I think it sounds interesting, especially near the end of the game. So, I think the music is quite an amazing feature in the game with the sound effects.

For the sound and the music, I will give it a 9 out of 10. I think to my personal point of view, I really like on how the music and the sound effect was portrayed in this game, if it wasn't for a few flaws in the music section, it would be a perfect 10 out of 10, but personally, I don’t think it’s a really a bad thing, it still is really, really good though.


----------


Addiction Level..

The Addiction Level has a whole lot and also being my 4th most favorite game series in my personal history; this is why it’s addicting to my point of view. I think what really got me so addicted to this game I think with all you can do and with the slightly funny dialog in the game, just how much I like the platformer world, and also for somehow someway, the game’s theme and everything else seem to have a lot of interest into me, so I think that might make me want to play this game a whole lot of times. What, by saving all those Mudokons, avoiding/killing enemies, a lot of obstacles for you and your Mudokons to avoid, the dialog, and everything else in between what really got me interested in this game. That’s all I really have to say about the addiction of this game. It’s just really addicting, that’s all I can say.

For the Addiction Level, I will give it a 10 out of 10. The reason why I give it a 10, like I said, this game is part of the series that is my 4th favorite series in video game history. It’s got a lot of things in it that will keep you playing this game for a good, long time, and it will be hard to stop playing, well, until you complete the game, but you will restart the game or play Exoddus. So, that’s really it for the game for the Addiction Level.

 ----------


The Storyline..

With the storyline in Abe’s Oddysee, it starts with the main protagonist of the game named Abe that his life was hanging by a tread over possible death (won’t get too violent with the situation, but you know what I’m talking about), but the story that lead to this situation, Abe was first a slave at a meat process plant called Rupture Farms, until one day while doing some janitor work, he see something that has completely changed his life to the worse. He seen that Molluck and the rest of the staff was running out of ideas and feared that Rupture Farms was starting to go out of business, but he (Abe) has heard that Rupture Farms last effort to stay in business is using all the Mudokon slaves as their new food products and Abe with fear for his life, he has decided to escape from Rupture Farms but not soon after, the security cameras picked up on Abe escaping Rupture Farms and warn all the Glukkons and Sligs that a slave is escaping the meat processing plant and do everything in their power to stop that from happening, but they failed, and Abe escape with a few of the Mudokons in the way. After his escape, Abe finds him back in his homeland of Monsaic until he meets with Big Face. After going through the tests with Paramonia and Scrabania, he has gain power to summon Shrykull and then heads back to Rupture Farms and get some revenge on the Glukkons and the Sligs, plus also save a lot more Mudokons on the way. And near the ending, you enter the main office of Rupture Farms that has a lot of Glukkons in there and then after you kill them all, a couple of Sligs capture you and depending on how many Mudokons you save (we will go above 50 with this), you will be capture by them (and going back to the beginning of the storyline), the Mudokons you save have went ahead and saved your behind just in the nick of time, before the Slig pulled the level, the Mudokons summoned a thunderstorm over Rupture Farms and lightning strikes both Molluck and the Slig and knock them both out and then Abe was saved once again.

So, for the storyline, I got to give it a perfect 10 out of 10. Even for a 1997 game, Oddworld Inhabitants really put a lot effort into their storyline in this game and it was really a break-out storyline for an independent company, and I think to my point of view, this game and Exoddus both had the most amazing storyline in any game I played on the PlayStation 1.


----------


Depth..

The depth has a quite a bit, and for a 1997 game, it does have quite a bit of interesting things, and it follows that traditional platformer feel, and you know I am a guy that likes platformers. In this game, you can save up to 99 other Mudokons (although some of them are hidden in secret areas so it can be hard to find all 99 of them. But also the ending can be affected, if you save more than 50 Mudokons, you get a good ending to the game (like I mention above in the storyline) or if you save below 50, then you get a bad ending (which is basically the same, but the Mudokons refuse to save you and you fall to your death). So, I think that’s the only thing that can have an alternative way of the storyline. I think also what makes this game interesting when it comes to the depth of this game is all the interesting items you can use like stones, bombs, and just to name a few, and you can use those bombs to your advantage. This game also brings in “Gamspeak” so you can be able to talk to other Mudokons so you can be able to save them (or unless you want to kill them, but that will be bad though). Not just all of that, I think also the level layout also is unique in a way on how much you can do and how the layout can affect your path to the end of the game, but really, other than all of that, nothing else much to say though.

For the depth, I have to give this game a perfect 10 out of 10, it has a whole lot to come with the amount of things in the game, and how the storyline can change with the number of Mudokons you save. But you can’t get wrong with Gamespeak, which is all right there.

Difficulty / Gameplay..

Personally, this game can be quite difficult at times, and even at some points, it can take me like a half hour to hour to complete one level, and that can tell you that they can be really hard levels in this game, but I think once you figure out the level long enough, you might just get the hang of it and it won’t be so much bad than before. But playing it for the first time, it can be extremely confusing and extremely hard, even at a skilled level, it can take me a little bit of time to get done. With all the enemies in the game which can drastically affect the game’s difficulty can make it a little bit harder, even at times, it might seem a little impossible to beat, but I think once you figure everything else out, it won’t be too bad. So, is difficult to my point of view, I think yeah, it can be a little challenging, but being the fact I have played this game for quite a while, it don’t really seem too bad for me.

As for the Gameplay itself, though I think the gameplay in this game are quite rocky, but I personally don’t think it’s too bad though. Some controls are alright, but with all the things like I mentioned in the depth can sound a little confusing at first, but I think once you figure out the controls, I think it will seem a whole lot more simpler to you than you think. Like take for an example with the Game Speak, it’s not so bad, because all you have to hold L2 or R2, and then press any of the right shape buttons and then speak with the other Mudokons, and you chant with holding both L2 and R2 (but really L2+R2, L1+R1, L1+R2, L2+R1, L1+L2, R1+R2), and if you’re really rushing the game, that can cause a lot of problems, but with my quick mindset, I never really run into this issue. The only flaw I had with this game (which was fixed in Exoddus) that you can call all the Mudokons, and you can only get them one at a time and it can be annoying at times). But I think with all of those flaws in the gameplay, I still think this is still an alright game though.

For the Difficulty and the Gameplay, I got to give it a 8 out of 10, mostly because with the hard difficulty plus the slightly confusing gameplay, it still isn’t really a bad game to try out, I think if you bypass this, it is one amazing game, that’s all I got to say with that.

Overall..

Overall, I think Abe’s Oddysee is quite an amazing game, this game right here has brought a new element of gaming to me, and this game (and Exoddus) ended up making this series my 4th favorite series in all of video games. I think with the graphics of this game, I think this is the biggest thing in the whole game that really got me interested in, so, for graphic wise, this is the biggest part of the game, if I could of gave it an 11, I would, but 10 is good enough. As for the sound effects, I think the sound effects are also that good as well, I think with the introduction of Game Speak, I think that really changed this game to me a really great game, I think without the Game Speak, this game won’t really get it’s fame, despite it’s amazing graphics, but for the music, I think the music is pretty alright though, maybe a couple of minor things could be better, but hey, it’s a game made in 1997, so, everything doesn’t have to be 100% perfect, they can be a few flaws here and there. As for the Addiction Level and the Depth, I personally think that both things offer a whole lot for the player and both things also have the player be stuck on this game, no matter if they bought the original game to play on their PS1/PS2, or bought it on the PlayStation store for the PS3/PS4, we got a whole lot of people that really likes this game. Also, the game as quite hard, even for experience players, but I think if you’re used to it, it’s not bad really. But the thing that really stands out in this game is the amazing storyline. The story goes where you’re a slave in a meat processing plant and want to escape to freedom, and the way it was told, I think this is quite of an amazing story; I do have to say that. As for my final thoughts of this game I think this is an amazing game for the PlayStation 1 and if you want to play this game in any way I mentioned above, I think this is a way to go, try this game out, it is quite amazing.


For the final score, I have to give this game a 9.5 out of 10. I think the reason I decided to give it a 9.3, it’s really got a whole lot of amazing and interesting material that is packed into this one game, and I think this game provide an amazing and entertaining experience you can encounter with. When I played this on the PS1/PS2 and play it from the PlayStation Store on my PS3. This game is really amazing. I think you will enjoy this game.

Anyways, that’s it with this review.

Here is a review by The IB, Working on a PlayStation game that is called Abe’s Oddysee. Abe’s Oddysee was released for the PlayStation 1 on September 19th, 1997.
