Uck. Fangus
is a human. His enemies are the Remans from Star Trek, aren't they? That is, humans in make up. Can anyone seriously imagine a Mudokon standing next to these characters without it looking like some sad fanwank of shipping Muds to Earth? The helicopter is awesome (nice to see the rotor design recycled from Stranger), but strangely for Silvio, the other hardware seems to lack inspiration, except the gun turrets which just lack odditude in my opinion, but then that's a spirit that's bound to be hard to capture. It makes me wonder if OWI placed as much importance on iteration as they did in their opening years.
Why is Silvio still designing characters? His vehicles are the best on Oddworld, and his illustrations bring real life and depth to everything, but his characters are consistantly the least inspired in terms of body design. The only three characters I saw on his website that I would let onto Oddworld without any niggles would be the first two ‘wildlife’ creatures (not the boar) and the hunched-over bird.
That's by no means an attack on Silvio, by the way - I don't even know that all those designs were intended for Oddworld. It's more a knock at the quality control at OWI before it disbanded.
