I only got into Oddworld in April of '08, so I am something of a newbie. But that doesn't mean I don't know a lot about it! I love Oddworld simply because it's different from everything else. It's lighthearted and dark at the same time, the environments can range from dark (Necrum) to light (the Grubb snowy place) to industrial (RuptureFarms) to bleak and bare (Scrabania) to...practically anything!
The characters aren't as cool. Abe is a little dumb (that's why I changed him in my ongoing series, "Abe's Expoddition") and Munch is a little retarded, but Stranger is cool.
Oddworld is just...odd, in a good way.
