Editorial Review:Abe thought he had saved the Mudokons from the evil Glukkons with the destruction of Rupture Farms. However, a new threat has arisen: the Glukkons who run Soul Storm Brewery have created an addictive drink made from Mudokon bones. To get all of the bones they need, Soul Storm has an army of Mudokon slaves excavating the Mudokon City of Death; when one of the slaves is worked to death, he becomes part of the product. The only person who can put a stop to this is Abe. You will guide Abe as he travels through the brewery and tries to destroy the boilers. Along the way, he must also try to save his people. Luckily, Abe can talk to his people and get them to help defeat the enemies and solve puzzles he faces along the way. Help Abe save the Mudokons in ODDWORLD ADVENTURES 2
Oddworld Adventures 2 offers technical and gameplay enhancements over its predecessor with Game Boy Color support, slightly enhanced graphics, and an increase in challenges found within the game--but those don't necessarily make this a great title. Anyone who has guided Abe through the Oddworld series on the PlayStation or PC will be disappointed with this lackluster translation. Oddworld Adventures 2's graphics are an enormous letdown--this looks bad even by Game Boy Color standards. The Abe series on the PlayStation is famous for its incredible visuals, and this game may achieve an equal level of infamy for its blurry backgrounds, pixelated characters, and overall lack of charm. The Abe series is also known for the devious action-based side-scrolling puzzles that make up the bulk of its gameplay, and the same style of play is carried over into this game. You can possess enemies and control their bodies to solve puzzles, leap from platform to precarious platform, and manipulate levers, just like in the PlayStation games. Unfortunately, many of the puzzles in Oddworld Adventures 2 require precise control, which this title sadly lacks. If you were a huge fan of Abe's antics on the PlayStation or PC, you might be able to forgive this game's bad graphics enough to enjoy the mildly challenging puzzles in this handheld version. If you have never heard of this series, Oddworld Adventures 2 isn't the best introduction. --T. Byrl Baker Pros:

Same basic gameplay as the grown-up Abe games
Many tricky puzzles to solve

Cons:

Disappointing graphics and iffy control

- 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 ... Read More

- 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.

Rating:

- Not for younger players
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 ...
