lol Obviously theyre brilliant. Look where I am. But it's barely a comparison. They may both be in the same genre, but theyre world's apart in gameplay.

Another World/Heart of Darkness stress more natural actions and organic puzzle solving, often something simple but unexpected. Oddworld lays out its rules and puzzles openly, just ramping up the difficulty as you move along.(barring secrets, as they are obviously not apart of the curve,lol)the rules are clearly defined.

Where as Eric Chahi's games are more undefined and in some cases never explain that you can do certain things. They are simply too different to really compare and contrast, so I typically do not. But in atmosphere and story, Oddworld beats both. Well, mostly. Another World, though simple, really sucks you in. But I prefer Oddworld's tale. Except Another World's ending. Oh, how I wish ambiguity was more common in game endings.
