Oddworld: Abes Exodus (PS)

Following on from the events of the first game, Oddworld 2 assumes the first game was completed using the 'good ending' (it wouldn't very well do to play through the second game with a squashed hero now would it?). Those corpulant Glukkons are back to their old tricks, forcing the gentle Mudokon race into slavery, toiling their lives away in the new SoulStorm Brewery. Producing an addictive drink that unbeknowns to the enslaved workforce is produced using the bones of dead Mudokons. Once again you take control of Abe, a disgruntled Mudokon who's had enough. He sets out to free his comrades from the heartless Brewery Owners, the Glukkons. ...  Read the complete review

I thought nothing could carry on from abe's oddysee, but I was wrong! Oddworld: Abe's Exoddus is the most amazing game in the UNIVERSE!!! In Abe's Oddysee you could take over the minds of Sligs, the gun crazed, Robotically legged army of the evil Glukkons, become a god, and talk to each other... Now you can posess (take over) sligs, glukkons, paramites and scrabs, order each other around, command sligs (when glukkon) and instead of getting 1 Mudoken* to follow you, you can get as many as you like! The gamespeak is greatly advanced as now you can interact with all the creatures, which include slogs and sloggies, slurgs, fleeches, glukkons, mudokens, ...  Read the complete review

Yay! Then they said that Oddworld: Abe's Exoddus was in the pipeline! Yay again! And then the said that Exoddus wasn't a part of the originally planned series of 5 games, but an extra one thrown in for good measure. How good are they to us? Exoddus carries on where Oddesey leaves off. (See my review for the story) Abe has just saved all the workers from the factories (of course) and is now back in the Mudokan camps. Then he gets a ...  Read the complete review

I use the Playstation to play the strategy games like Devil Dice with simple controls that I can remember easily even when the going gets fast. If I try to use any of the platform games I am soon out of my depth as the controls get more complicated as the game progresses. Abe's Exodus however was a game that both my partner and I could play. He sat at the controls doing all the shooting, rolling, jumping etc and a lot of the strategy and I sat watching trying to think of ways to help. The principle of the game is that Abe, who used to work in the factory making Soulstorm Brew, finds out that the bones of his co-workers, Mudokons, are going to be ...  Read the complete review

abes exoddus is just like oddyse a brilliant platform game.there isn't much diiference between the 2 games abes moves enimies and storline are pretty much the same.however there are subtle changes and exoddus looks and plays a bit betterthose who like the first game will laugh at the new characters feelings and actions and oddworls is one of the most imaginative game world to play in but if you own the first one you sort of own this as well. ...  Read the complete review
