"Well, this isn't something you find everyday. Abe's is something that liberally grabs the best bits from almost every game you've ever played before, mixes them together and somehow comes up with something so completely fresh and original that you would almost believe you're witnessing the dawn of a new game-playing age. So the story goes that you're a plucky young...thing (a Mudokon, actually) named Abe, and he's just uncovered plans to turn his entire race into a pile of happy value meals at the local McBurger. This isn't what Abe had in mind for his future plans, so it's up to him to rescue all of his friends form their imminent doom. But how can one goofy (not to mention weedy) looking creature do that by his lonesome do that, you may ask? With the help of his unique psychic powers, that's how. Not only can Abe communicate "normally" with his voice but he also has a few clever mental tricks up his proverbial sleeve, including the essential power to possess other characters. Once you're in charge of the offending creature you will also be able to use their abilities, which in certain circumstances is crucial to making progress. Each screen has a different puzzle for you to solve, and the most obvious method is not always the correct one. Sometimes a bit of subtlety is called for, adding a tremendous amount of scope to the gameplay. There's also the usual platform antics to deal with, and any Flashback player will get a sense of deja-vu immediately. If only every game that hits the Hotgames tower could be as good as this...Oddworld deserves to be prominently placed on your daily list of downloads.
