I generally prefer AO's atmosphere, and certain aspects of the gameplay (the Sligs don't realise you're possessing them). While AE is larger, has better save options and GameSpeak (sorta, no laugh), it still seems to lack something. Maybe it's just that I have played it alot more, being I didn't have AO for ages, but there's just something about it I don't like in comparison to AO...
I haven't played MO or SW, but there are reasons I don't/didn't like these games:
MO being 3D. I just couldn't see Abe working so well in 3D. The gameplay would be so much different. And it is, I reckon. I mean, a whole goddamn different company. WTF happened there? MO also seemed to have alot missed out, and not for any real good reason. Why was it necassary to sign up with Microsoft, just to have their game forced out early and ruined? Well, not ruined per say, but you get the idea.
I didn't like the look of SW. There doesn't seem to be many animal species, just outlaws, being stronger than enemies, while interesting, drastically changed the gameplay there too, and everything seems to human, they're not odd enough. Just a bunch of elephantmen almost. Plus Clakkers suck in every way :O
AO it is.
