    • Quotes

      Abe: This is RuptureFarms. It's the biggest meat processing plant on Oddworld. I used to work here. Well, I was really a slave, like all the others. That's me. My name is Abe. I was employee of the year. Now I'm dead meat. I crossed the meanest boss in the world: Mullock the Glukkon. My whole life changed in just one day. I was working late one night, at RuptureFarms. We used to make Meech Munchies, until the Meeches were through. We still made Paramite Pies and we made some good Scrab Cakes, too. I thought I had a good job, but that was before I knew. How we'd make "New N' Tasty" was still to find. The truth, it turned out, now that blew my mind. The Glukkons were scared, 'cuz profits were grim. Parasites and Scrabs had been turning up thin. But Mullock was cool. He had a plan. This new kind of meat: it was us! I just had to escape, I just had to be free. And I didn't even know I had a destiny. So, get me out of here!

    Wonderfully creative concept
    This game is an utter classic. It takes 2D side scrollers to another level with some fantastic graphics and fantastic gameplay. The guys who have designed oddworld, the environments, creatures and characters have been extremely creative in their effort and even greater in their effort to make all these things come alive. The gameplay is reasonably difficult but rewarding. The level design is fantastic and there is actually a good story driving all that. The one single weakness in this game is that your character, whos generally a sad looking chap becomes not-so-sad in the end but thats only a weakness because the game is so good that you bother to care for the character.
