What Do you think makes Oddworld fun?

[monkeybait]

Personally I think realic, difficult and strategic gameplay made the OW series fun... how 'bout you?

[Software Bug]

I think that the dark site from Oddworld make the series fun.
The fact that youcan get an GOOD and BAD ending is very cool.
Also GAMESPEAK made the series a very nice and enjoyable serie...

Hey! Also I just found out in AE and AO you can get a killing bonus!
If you kill about 280 Muds or so in AE you get promoted to VP of the Mudokons and get Invincibility. In AO if you kill about 80 Muds, you get Inf. grenades

Twisted mirror
Unique kind of humour
Intelligent engadgement
fantasy misticism
Sci-Fi at it worst

that kind of things

[Oddish]

I agree.

I like the way Oddworld makes fun. Oh and Team Photos are fun.

And Oddworld Inhabitants even make fun out of their own creatures designs.

Perfect, You've kinda stole my words.

I'll add this:
Hard from the very beginning.
Always the puzzle element. (If there can't be a puzzle element, just put in the good old voice lock.)
Nature.
Hate and fellowship. (including Racism and such.)
Tenseness.
Relaxed, mystic, secret and stimulating (in the way of being alert and quick minded) music.
Nice sound effects. (alarms, gunshots, gamespeak)
A Realistic element of being. (The realistic functioning of the body and adapting to environments over time.)
And the last I can think of: Dark and realistic graphics.

Edit:
And oh, Ofcourse. The (hard) secrets. They should start making those again.

I like how you could choose to rescue your friends or not. Gives ya free will. I also like how dark,black and evil some of the enviroment is, like Rupture Farms, that amazed me....

I like the unique gameplay and mind blowing landscapes especially in AO and AE. My favorite feature about it is the twisted reflection of our own worlds problems.

Sligs. you can't forget Sligs!

[VykkerHumphrey]

My whole thing is industry. I know its a whole nother world but just their technology alone: its simple but fun. For example, the glukkon transporters. Plus, dark humor. Vykkers.

My favorite things about this series are the beautiful, yet creepy-looking environments, (I thought the vaults of Necrum were satisfyingly creepy and brought the tone of the game out very well for some reason.) realistic-looking movements of characters (the character animation in these games is amazing! ), the personalities of the characters-even the voice acting is top-knotch! Also, I like the dark, yet goofy humor and the challenging gameplay that made me think of how to get out of a situation. All of these made the whole series fun.

What makes Oddworld fun? Well, er, lotsa things!
I love the graphics and backgrounds in AO and AE. They were light-years ahead of their timec and are still very good in modern day.
The quirky characters. Mudokons, Sligs, Vykkers, Glukkons, Interns,, Scrabs, Paramites, Munch! They are all unique, original and very cool characters.
Unlikely heroes. Most games have a super-powerful heroic guy, Oddworld has a flatulent little blue guy with sewn up lips (Abe) and a one legged amphibian with a sonar stuck in his head(Munch). Ab and Munch win over normal heroes every time.
The story. A cool, intriguing story with the most original creatures around.
The gameplay (duh!). I just love the old 2D games, I still play them. Fun, and a uniqe style of platforming. The puzzles were geat, the enemies fun to overcome, possesion rules, and you got a feeling of doing good each time you saved a mud, and a feeling of sick pleasure each time you blew one up.

Thus ends my summary of what makes Oddworld fun, but for 1 final thing. The key thing to making Oddworld a great series is just that, it's well,odd!

sligs and glukkons they should release a game with just sligs and different creatures of oddworld
