For those who prefer simpler games (run, jump, point, shoot) this game is not for you. Learning the controls to talk to other Mudokons will be frustrating to both children and the impatient alike. It will be near impossible for those who cannot read yet. For non-English speaking people there is the option to select a different language, which I thought was cool. I forgot what they all were, but other languages include German, Spanish, French and maybe Italian.

I'll be the first reviewer! ......

OK,if you've never played the first game you will most probably love it dearly.The 2d graphics are geogeously detailed,and the puzzle element is very good.BUT... If you've got and finished the first,buy it,but dont expect a groundbreaker.The graphics are improved(amazingly),and the control is more tighter than before.But heres the neg's.The first I believe is funner due to,not only the incredibly more varied landscapes and environments,as opposed to the mostly industrial,gritty feel of part2,but also the seemingly excessive puzzle element present in it as well. It was hell fun to just run around,grabbing ledges and dodging creatures at the same time in the original but in this it seems to base itself more on the puzzle element which while addictive wont keep the Oddworld fans up all night.So if you've got the first you've seen the prettier side of Oddworld than in part2,and played it all.Still its a good buy overall.

Back in my day.....

which wasnt a long time ago, but this 'shakey flakey' game boy animation was just putrid. From any stand point you would look at a slurgs (aka the lil green blobby things that come out of the blue and eat you for no reason) and youd think it was the FOLLOWING: A.) A BLOB OF GREEN SLOG (Those freaking ... of a dog) CRAP, B.) A PLANT OR C.) WHAT THE HELL IS THIS? In short? My review goes only to that the animation sucked, and that the plot was scarcilly short, stanky, and the only reason I wouldnt give it a LOWER rating is because those damned sligs were kickin .... Oh yes and being a true fan of Simpsons I must end my review as so....

Oddworld IS a letdown

I have the first in this series for my playstation. This translation into gameboy color is disappointing. The only thing that gave it 2 stars instead of 1 or 0 was that the characters can say four phrases. Even for gameboy color, it shouldn't be THIS bland and boring.
