Let me start by saying that Oddworld is and will stay my favourite franchise ever, but only Oddysee and Exoddus, not the others in 3D. The reason I don't like them is the same reason I don't like New 'n' Tasty : it is not the same in 3D.

I know that Munch's Oddysee and Stranger's Wrath are not meant to be like Exoddus or Oddysee, but the 3D universe in those 2 games didn't really fit for me.

I think that the main thing that made me love Oddworld in the first place when I was a kid is the universe made out of boards. Each boards were unique in their own way (by the colours, what's happening in the background...) and even though I was so damn hyped for New 'n' Tasty, at the end I am truly disappointed. I am disappointed because this is not the same at all. The principle of boards disappeared, the sounds are totally not the same (I don't feel the magic in Abe enchantment anymore, and Scrabs sounds weird...), some scenes that were beautiful for me are so much different now, the gameplay is not the same with this 3D universe...

I kind of lost all the landmarks I had while playing the original, and I thought I would need a lot to lose them because I can't remember how many times I've done the Oddysee (on PS1, on PC, on PSP...), but I sure know some parts of the game by heart.

Now, I'm not saying that New 'n' Tasty is bad in itself, that they didn't put any effort in it. The textures are great, the lighting is impressive, the background is rich, the Mudokon's voices are funny (not Abe)... but for me, the 1997 version is way above.

I'm sorry if I sound like an elitist (especially with my profile picture) in some way, but I had so much hype for this remake and I kind of feel let down because it's too different from the original. It's not the same magic that in Oddysee, not the same gameplay (because the boards are gone. In the orignal, you could hide from a slig just by running from a board to the other).

I truly love Oddworld, I can confirm that this game made me love video games, but I can't love this remake and I have read that some people are exactly like me. I'm happy that they have done it though, because it allow people who didn't know about Abe to go on an adventure with him.

Should you buy this game ? Yeah you should, it is a well made platforms game. But if you are buying it, please try to do the original version of 1997 first, or at least the beginning when you escape from RuptureFarms. I know the graphics will not be the same, but you will understand what I am talking about (and how the Scrabs sounds horrible).
