Game Review 1 (written by Chrissi) Added on: 11/22/2007
Out of this world is an action adventure game that is telling an actual story. You will be playing the character Lester, who is a young physics professor. After lightning struck his partial experiment you’ll find yourself in a strange alien world. You will be fighting for your life with your bare hands at the beginning and eventually you will locate a gun. You are not alone which is quite encouraging. You and an alien escape from the prison together. The alien creature then helps on the very dangerous quest.

The game looks like a typical shooter game, but the game is based mostly on environmental and physical puzzles. Each enemy you

encounter requires a different angle of strategizing. There is usually only one way to solve each problem that you will encounter. There are several levels that the game has been divided into. Each can be accessed by typing in a code, which you will learn at the end of each completed level. The games graphics have been done with animated cut scenes. These graphics fit the game pretty well and allow the game to continue on without too much effort into loading all the graphical details on each screen.
The game has a lot of great features to it, which make it an amazing action adventure. There is a fascinating plot, tons of suspense and the game play is phenomenal. Each puzzle is action oriented. They can be hard but every single one is very creative and not repetitive in any sort of way. Almost all the enemies resemble each other in one way or another, but they are all different. Some of the enemies you will find are smarter than others and require different weapons to be able to kill them. With each combat being quite unique there will be a different puzzle to go with them that requires a different approach each time.
Out of this World is not a regular shot everything kind of game; there are so many different things you will be required to accomplish to further along in each and every level. Over all the atmosphere of this alien planet is quite incredible. The graphics are amazing just like the sound effects and music. There isn’t too many sound effects and music, but you will notice them. The game does have keyboard or joystick controls, depending on which you prefer using.
If you enjoy an over the top action packed adventure, Out of this World will literally blow you out of this world. You will be amazed with how well developed this game is graphically and game wise. There are no flaws in this game that will turn you away. This game is great for the players who enjoy sci-fi kind of games with the added touch of human reality. Out of this World is definitely a must have.

Game Review 2 (written by Stuarticus) Added on: 11/20/2007
A masterful game, designed by a Frenchman named Eric Chahi. This Cinematic 2d plat former re-wrote the rules on its release, being one of those games that gave you the "In a few years playing games will be like watching a film" sensation.
You play Lester Knight Chaykin, a physicist whose experiments cast him to a strange alien world where he must escape stare tentacles, vampire worms and giant tiger-beasts.
The game has aged relatively well, the graphics though slightly blocky are well executed and the game still looks good. Backdrops are well detailed; animation is smooth and well executed. The game play is so good. If you are going to play it, try to get the SNES version, it featured 2 button game plays and was subsequently easier to control.
The game was highly unusual in that it used no HUD or even text or dialog; this made the game easily transferable to other countries, contributing to its success.
Historically the game is notable as it was the first to use all polygons rather than sprites for the rendering. Putting the back story to one side, this game is great. If you haven't played it I would strongly recommend downloading it! You won't be disappointed, only fun. It is still probably one of the best games ever made, control issues aside and is well worth the time to complete.

This is by far the earliest advancement in 3D platform gaming, as it spawned many others "Abe's Oddysee" still only rounded off the polygons & made the creatures more deadly.

Another World was one of the first games I ever played. I love this game as I do any other classic PC game. I give this 9 out of 10.
