IGN has posted their OSW guide
 
This is great news for all you folks that are lost.

OSW Guide

I don't need to tell you that this has major spoilers.

Super find, MojoMan220. I'll report this on OddBlog, without looking at it myself.

It's worth mentioning it's only available to IGN Insiders.

Haha, you accredited me (and my website) with a tit-bit of information which is highly obvious to anyone looking for the walkthrough! Modern Oddworld journalism is fun.

:

Derek Gonsoulin of the Orlando City Beat has also reviewed the game, although has awarded it no score.
Scores were on the right of the page:
Gameplay 8 out of 10
Graphics 10 out of 10
Sound 9 out of 10
Replay 6 out of 10
Don't worry, I dont need credit. ;)

Finally! I've been waiting for IGN to do their usual Strategy Guide on the game :) Too bad it is only IGN Insider, though it is making me think twice about not joining Insider, or GameSpot Complete.

Its Insider? They must have just changed it. Hmm... that sucks. Well, it wasn't Insider this morning.

From what you saw of the guide while it was available to anyone, was it good? In depth? Lots of graphics, including maps?

It had some good stratagies for capturing some bosses alive, but it mainly talked about the zapfly, thudslug approach. They took screenshots to help guide you through, but I do not believe there were maps (keep in mind, I did not see every page). It looked like it was straight to the point, but gave enough information to get the job done. Good.

I told you, I refused to look at it myself.

But I did find the scores in the end.

Is Sinjin still about? His guides are always the best online ones there are.

There are a few places so far (just finished with the boat, about 1/3rd of the way in) and I'd say there is not as much 'strategy' to it as I would have thought. The built in 'spoilers' help a bit but it is not like one has the answers on a platter.

There are some general guidelines I have come up with, and some baddies that react differently to different ordnance, but that's the extent of it. (other than the 1st person jump worked where 3rd person did not at the waterfall :-)).

My suggestion: Location, Location, Location.
