I love them all even if I dint played them all 0.o But I find a strong conection between me and Oddworld :P I'v played the first 2 games but I dont have an X-box so I dint played the others ...Buying X-box soon ^_^ take care !

Definatly AE cause its the first time when controling a Glukkon and thier Game Speak comes into the picture

I voted Abe's Oddysee.

It's AE fore me. You can do more in AE than in AO like posesing scrabs, paramites, and gluks, slaping muds for no reason :p , the whole laughing gas thing, and the fleeches. I didn't like the 3-D thing with MO and I didn't like Munch. AE is best in my book.

It really is very hard to choose, but I'm going with AO. Oh and I'm really surprised by the results Stranger's Wrath got!

I am glad to see that Abe's Odysee and Abe's Exodus battle the first lines. However...Abe's Odysee still...everyones favourite since has beaten the love them all options. You know what the proverb says...OLDIES BUT GOLDIES ;) Go Abe's Odysee .....and Abe's Exodus :D

'Kay. Yesterday I think I figured out why I didn't like Abe's Exoddus as much as Abe's Oddysee.

It's the feeling that the entire game was made especially for Abe. The odds are with him all the time. Glukkons are placed strategically where you can possess them. Ledges put conveniently right where Abe can reach them. There is no adventure-wanderlust feel to the game, it's too segregated, too divided up into rigid sections. The levels don't intertwine with one another in any creative way. But imagine it. Take for example the brewery. It had no atmosphere whatsoever. 1) There were wells. Sligs can't use wells, and if you think about it, Glukkons wouldn't be stupid enough to place them right there for Mudokon slaves to use; some of the wells led to levers that turn off vital machinery and such. 2) Doors are unlocked, no security. You can just walk in. 3) The Brewery, for example, was incredibly unimaginitive. There's a screen with doors. Go in a door, pull a lever inside (When you get through some obstacles), come out, go into another door, repeat procedure. When you've done all of them, the final door unlocks that leads to a screen with...more doors. Whee.
4) Unlike AO, you never felt like you were really going someplace. You feel like you're just walking around blowing up stuff, trying to find something. You just want to get past the level and that's it.
Now, before I had Abe's Exoddus, I wanted that game so desperately I gathered every mention I could of it. That includes but is not limited to movies, sounds, music, reviews, ads, interviews, plus about every single screenshot I could find on the official website. And when I look at those screenshots, I see a real experience (minus the ones from the brewery). I see a truly atmospheric adventure game. But when I play Abe's Exoddus, that feeling just...isn't there. No matter how much I want it to be there, it's just not. When I lok over the screenshots I see a comopletely different game than the one I get when I put the CD into my computer. I feel like it's something I've never played. But when I actually play the game I get the feeling that it's just that: a game. Nothing more.

I really can't say which one I like the most. AO had the most depth; AE had some improved gameplay and had great new environments; MO carried the torch nicely; SW gave Oddworld a sweet, new, western look.

Now, I have only fully explored AO and AE, so my opinions on MO and SW may be a tad unjustified.

To Skillya: I actually liked the arbitrarally placed game tools and such. It allowed you to use your imagination a bit more in trying to make sense of why things were the way they were. Well, that's how it worked for me at least.

AO first place, then AE. I didnt really like how they made Abe so much stupider and I never played SW.

Skillya, that’s a brilliant piece of analysis. I don’t disagree, but I’ve never felt strongly the same way. There was always a nagging feeling that the SoulStorm Brewery levels didn’t really feel unique or epic enough to be the climax of Abe’s solo adventures. Mostly, though, it’s annoying when you want just to have a stab at Zulag 13, select the Brewery from the level select menu, and realize you have to work your way through several paths beforehand.

I felt the music for the Brewery level was perhaps the weakest of the Abe games, both atmospherically and emotionally. There is a lack of story driving the gameplay nearing the end of the game, but this isn’t very different from Abe’s Oddysee.

/me finishes picking Exoddus apart.

Strangers wrath for me was when i really got interessted in Oddworld and decided to learn more about it

i vote for oddworld abe oddysee.:fuzcool:

Resize your writting N00b! Your killing my screen!

hay if you say noob one more time i will repoart you to max the mug.

Ahahahahaha!

*bans everyone*

Thanks to whoever edited mathews post.

evey one but sw it runed the puzzle theam of oddworld

I prefer Abe's Oddysee!

its tough but i think ae just beats ao for me.strangers wrath was good,but i think the game was taken too far away from the usual,old oddworld i love,with abe and the usual suspects.i liked mo but to me ae is my best game.

Not necessarily. In essence, it was still a puzzle game... there were just more options for you. But I guess that's just if you're like me, and you think every game has puzzle aspects. The puzzle aspect in Stranger's Wrath would be the whole 'what two creatures will I use next?' thing.
I don't think it's the puzzle gameplay that drives the Oddworld games, but rather the originality and storyline. Stranger's Wrath is amongst the most original games I can think of, and the storyline is also incredibly amazing. In my opinion, everything in Stranger's Wrath is superb... except for the Clakkerz' voices.

You get to be a shrykull a few times though, like the secret shrykull in the brewery. (AE)

Abe's Exoddus, absolutely! It's the first Oddworld game I played! :rolleyes: it's my preeeeciouuus :love: (and I finished it over 10 times!) -->5 times I saved all 300 mudokons!

I had to choose AO, it was probably the best game I had played at that time, in fact, all of the previous games I played were like pacman (I was only like 12 lol). It's story, characters, (dark) atmosphere and feel was supurb. SW would come second, they realy tried hard with that game after MO, and because of that, the game was supurb.
never played AE though, I realy want to.

I Loved them all, but i still liked AE best because it had more industrial places which i prefer to wildlife.

Alf's brother's mate...

Abe's Exoddus has more remarkable areas and characters but Stranger's Wrath has a bit more energy

Abe's oddysee, i keep imagining levels that dont exist, its really wierd
