Thats a good point but the oddworld games were 2D, and as much as you are controlling the character, there are set animations etc. I don't know, i certianly used to shit myself in some sections of the oddworld games. But film is arguably more powerful. I know your just watching but there are a hell of a lot of film techniques to draw you into the characters and thier world, such as piont of view shots, close ups, the use of the camera like the handled camera. There's so many ways. The reason i love Oddworld and games such as Bioshock is because they manage to merge game and film, which is why i love to play games.
Anyway, thats just what i think

ah bioshock, one of the best games ever made, a very good example may i say.
