I'm definitly sided with AO. I love the atmosphere and the story over that of AE. You could argue that they had almost identical stories, but AO went through the story first, so I didn't get the same mysticism in AE. I also felt like you had a lot less power in AO, which, for me, felt a lot cooler than AE. The thing I always would talk about when I was younger and tried to tell my friends about AO, was that it wasn't like most games, because you had little ways to fight. I thought AE had a lot more times that you could posses enemies. The addition of being able to posses Scrabs and Paramites definitely made me feel a lot more powerful too.
Over all, I revisit Oddysee considerably more, but both games are great. I think I just prefer atmosphere and story over gameplay.
