Art od Oddworld
 
I am planning on buying art of oddworld, and i was wondeirng if anoyne else here has it and can tell me if its worth the money?

I have it, and yes it worth the money, if you like art or oddworld, or both :). If you can't afford the limited edition, Hard cover would be the best choice. And book is 256 pages long. It also has images which you won't find on the internet.

The Hard cover is SWEET and tells a lot of things about the original character designs, Like storm-Trooper sligs, Glukkon Mickey Mouse fan, and Munch's alter-ego

Xavier 05-01-2005 09:44 AM

it's worth twice the money...
so buy it now :D

honestly those pictures will send you in a world of beauty

I bought the hardcover, it took only 4 days to get to me in England! I don't see why anybody would buy the softcover version, it's only a couple quid cheaper :fuzconf: . The only problem was that the cover was slightly scratched and so were some pages...

I ordered the hardcover via local bookstore because I don't have a Visa card... and it took about six months or so because I ordered it in september. But I got the book and I'm happy with it :)

Where can you order it? @_@

Kimon 05-02-2005 03:26 PM

Right about here.

OddAlchemist 05-02-2005 03:51 PM

i got enough for the kickass limited editon. about how long does it ussualy take to get to the us.

Blisterz Booty 05-02-2005 04:07 PM

Man, I'd get one of these without a second though, but there's no way my parents are going to let me pay that much for a book @_@

AWWW 05-03-2005 12:51 AM

I found the price to the book to be alright price (hardcover, glossy pages and its contains very high quailty images).
The book also really gives you a idea what Munch Oddysee was orginally intened to be.

Look at it this way, if you like the art that you saw in the credits of the fisrt 2 Oddworld game and felt disappointed for them missing in the Munch Oddysee and Stranger Wrath then this book you should really be owning.

Maybe you need to show/tell your parents about Oddworld to convince them to let you buy it...:confused:

Anyway, the Oddworld art book would have be the best games art book I have, can't wait for the next ten years art book ;) .

TAOO is the best art book I own... with the Spectrums right after him.

Scrab Watcher 05-03-2005 12:49 PM

I own it, it's worth the money, absolutely (and I got the oh-so-expensive limited edition). Great digital images and ideas, and concept art is always interesting. Don't even contemplate calling yourself an Oddworld fan without buying it! :p

nicksmith41 05-03-2005 02:09 PM

Thats the thing I asked for it for my b-day which is coming up and i want the limited edition but i dont think my parents are gonna get me that one, they will probably get me the paper back. oh man now im all depressed about this...:(

wait does the limited editon coem with anything special? like the oddworld dvd that came with pre-ordering SW....cause i really want that dvd It's not fair i didn't get x-box till like a month after sw came out and it was a surprise...no fair

Xavier 05-04-2005 04:19 AM

the LE only comes with a certificate of authenticity... nothing else

Abe16 05-04-2005 07:08 AM

Grrr, I can't have it till' may 'Birthday' Maybe I'll find a way, maybe.....

stingbee 05-04-2005 09:58 AM
