How big is Oddworld? I am amazed

I am amazed at how big Oddworld is.. its a non-stop land full of Odd and new Cool things. By playing old Oddworld games and New I was surprised how big the world is. Not many games have a gigantic world like Oddworld does. With Stranger I cant imagine how big and adventorus it will be to explore the new part of Oddworld I cant wait to play Stranger and discover new lands Hope it will be full of easter eggs and secretcs too

That map is outdated and most likely inaccurate - as Alf rightly pointed out in one of the recent Ask Alf's.

Like Shell Man said, Oddworld is ten times the size of Earth in terms of diameter, giving it a total surface area of the same proportion. This clearly gives OWI a massive space to work with! In comparisson, all of Oddworld we've seen so far is in Mudos, a country the size of Nicaragua.

The Map was made by Alf's pal Buddy, who consulted a Slig while creating it, and was so distraught by our unhappiness with it that he went on an eating binge, but fortunately has recovered with thanks to an intervention from Abe and the South Meech Diet.

Yeah, it's a gorgeous creation. From the galaxy to the compass points, and all the squiggles in between. Buddy's certainly a good artist, and a noble cartographer if not an 100% accurate one.

My favourite part is where the third, and as yet most recent map hangs on a wall at Oddworld Studios. Yup, I definitely love that bit.

Erm, I think that's where OWI didn't have time to restructure their level designs, and so were unable to realisticly confine the gameplay to a set area. I don't think anyone likes the "fog." But then kudos to OWI for adding distant hills and such.

Its perfectly logical to fall off a cliff. We are probably meant to believe that underneath all that cloud is the ocean.

But the game doesn't take place near the ocean.

The same as in halo you can fal also from a cliff...
