If you like games like Tomb Raider and or Lemmings, you won't be able to walk away from this game. Though the plot is a bit dark the game is funny as heck.I spent hours playing this game (then i had to return it) so i bought it:). Abe's oddysee is probably one of the hardest problem solving games ever. And the controls are very easy to learn. You really got to buy this game.Though the game is in 2-d the screen changing graphics are spectacular! And the movies run extremely smooth. But dont buy this game if you arent willing to get addicted!

First time gamers- here's your chance!

The reason I rated this game 4 stars is because they get better every game. I watched my roommate (who had never been into "video games")patiently accomplish Abe's Oddysey. It is a game of patience, skill, strategy and devotion to those of your race you are saving. At the end you get the real test of saving yourself or watching all of your hard work go... I highly reccommend not just buying this game but at least checking it out.

I wasted many, many hours of sleep back in college with this game. It reminded me quite a bit of Tomb Raider, but I found it to be much moe fun than any of the Tomb Raider series.

The premise is deceptively simple--you must rescue 99 of your fellow Mudokons from becming canned ham. There are enough puzzles and traps to keep things hopping for a long time to come.
There are a number of special actions (such as disarming bombs) that are hard to consistenty master, but its worth the effort if you ccan master ihem.

I'd advise getting the strategy guide as well. It'll save you some grey hairs and bald spots.

Oh, Abe How I Love Thee!

This is the best game I have ever played (next to Abe's Exoddus)! With baited breath I await the next addition to the series--I'm ready for you Munch! Remember, once you're done with this one, you have to get Abe's Exoddus!

First off,this game is extrordanarialy hard for young kids at the age of 5-9 who will most likley get so mad that...well you can guess the rest.Now that i have explained the hard bit we'll go to the good:almost everything!Creatures are maybe not the best but the graphics for the backround make you want to just keep walking and build a summer house there!Controls are easy to learn!And you'll usually have plenty of time to remember unless you are trying to do every single secret area.Great story too.Fantastic voices!Very funny most of the time.Very cool powers.It's a shame loads of people need to have 3D now.When I first got this game(I was 5)I thought it was very fun and very cool.Every time i got shot i almost fell off the bench!Then I stopped playing after a while because it was hard.Then I did the whole game through using a walkthrough with my mom.I was so amazed!It was impossibly cool how well the game unfolded.Then I even saw that you get another chance!Then i stopped again and played it in my spare time.Now i have decided to go and play through the game with alot of secrets.I am hoping for a good ending.So far i am doing reasonobly well.After buying this game if you like it buy Oddworld Abe's Exoedoss.It only got better there...

A good, fun platform PC/Playstation Game

The game is very fun and exciting to play, and I tend to get 'caught' by it. The difficultilevel, though, is very easy, but that's the only real bad thing - the game is too easy. It takes a lot of time to complete the game, and that also is very good about it. Personally I hate games, that are completed in less than two weeks after buying it - unless it is played very much every day, of course.

I think the game is really worth buying, even though newer episodes have come.

five stars!, definetely

If you like games were you have to do everything over and over a thousand times before proceeding to the next area just to do that a thousand times more than this game is for you. But I don't consider that very fun. The controls are easy however and the game can be amusing and addictive at times but I certainly would not consider it very fun to play.

EXCELLENT GAME FOR PEOPLE WITH A STRONG STOMACH

This is a very addictive game that invites you to solve puzzles, route for the strange little alien you control, and watch the wonderfully bizarre story unfold. However, I need to add that there are a lot of gas-related jokes in the game, and some of us found them to be a little disgusting. One of the things you actually have to make the little alien do from time to time is pass gas - and I could have done without that. But it's a really interesting and original puzzle game with a story, and you should try it. I've known people who absolutely can't walk away from it.

BORING! (and creepy.)

OK. So i just played it for like a half hour. But it was one of the most boring half hours of my life! And I'm not big on creepy games like this. As you can probobly tell, it's about some alien creature that's a slave in a factory called ReptuFarms or something. The factory makes meat out of animals. Most animals in Oddworld (the would where Abe, the mane charecter lives) are extinced. I won't tell you any more of the plot. I will now tell you why i don't like it. As I mentioned earlier, I'm not big on creepy games. If you are, I guess you might like it. But it's not even 3D! It's just a 2D game where all you do is walk left and right. And the controlls are REALLY hard to remember! But, if these things don't bother you, i guess you might like it, though it's kind of old stile gaming. Well, thanks for reading. Bye!

Terrible game!!!

Oddworld Abe's Oddysee is the most overrated game on the PS1! Let me tell you why it's so bad. For starters, it's main selling-point is humor, and this ''humor'' is mostly made out of repetitive and boring fart jokes. Second...it's insainly dificult! You can't fight back. So this means you have to run away every time a bad guy sees you. The frustation doubles when you consider that you die after getting shot once. To top it all off the story is supposed to make you root for Abe. (the main character) But do you? NO!! Because he's extremly stupid and unlikable like the rest of his race! (Abe is trying to save them from becomeing food.) I say they deserve it. this is a bad game folks, very bad. Oh...and the voice overs are bad to.
