I went out and bought it today. It's pretty good.
The sound in the game (including the scratchy, over-compressed voice acting) is terrible. I don't care much for the shadow "clipping" either.
However, besides those two things, I don't have many problems with it. The humor is good, the gameplay is great (I love hunting down enemies and ammo), and for the first time since AE, Oddworld feels like Oddworld again. The atmosphere is superb. Some of the best scenery on the Xbox, even.
So, yeah, pretty good game. Huzzah! Reconciliation for MO, to say the least.
Damnit. I almost caught Boilz Booty alive. SO close. I had to kill him because I couldn't take any more hits. Oh well.
