The art style and direction he employed combined with the quality of his artwork truly exploded beyond the story telling limits of a 16-bit system to deliver an experience that EVERYONE who plays video games to appreciate them as an art form needs to go though. BUY THIS GAME.… Expand

Very short but difficult, there is almost no background story. However, the chemistry between the hero Lester and his alien friend nicknamed Buddy is very clear. Gameplaywise, its simple but challenging and the ending is really satisfying. You don't have to love the game but I think every gamer should try it at least once.… Expand

   One of the milestones of 90's gaming and one of the games marked my childhood forever. I remember playing the SEGA Genesis version of thisOne of the milestones of 90's gaming and one of the games marked my childhood forever. I remember playing the SEGA Genesis version of this game back in 1995 (years after its release). Me and my friend Pato couldn't believe such great interactivity and animations in a game.
   
   Pros:
   - Even today it looks great if you take in mind is a 1991 game and it's very hard and sometimes fetched. But all the little pieces of interactivity on are there for some reason.
   - I think this anniversary edition feels great. You can change with the press of one button the visuals from the original version to the remastered backgrounds and polygonal characters.
   - Also you can choose a from a remastered audio or the original with or without music (the creator, Eric Chahi, said he prefers his game without music).
   - Modern controllers works nice (I recommend DualShock 3 or 4 digital directions for a better experience).
   - It has bonus content (Artwork, Making of and PDF's with scanned development notes).
   - Hard difficulty is harder than the original.
   
   Cons:
   - It has some new checkpoints for newbies and sometimes they mess with your game state. So you have to kill some enemies again (and I don't mean the ones re-spawn because you need to complete a mandatory task).
   - We WANT "Heart of Darkness" please!! :)
   
   I plenty recommend this game for nostalgic people and those who can handle old games like Prince of Persia for instance. I doesn't feel that old at all.… Expand

   Another World was one of the titles that escaped me back on the original release, so I played the Anniversary Edition without nostalgiaAnother World was one of the titles that escaped me back on the original release, so I played the Anniversary Edition without nostalgia glasses on and what an unpleasant experience that was. I was going to it with all the praise of one of the best classic games of all time and bla bla, but honestly this game just pissed me off. First of all, this game is hard as balls, that would be a positive aspect, I absolutely love hard games, recently Dark Souls or Spelunky are one of my all time favourites and I love the hard difficulty IF the game can justify it with the tight controls and you can master it with your skills, but this was just frustrating game design with clunky controls and repetitive game mechanics. I was also looking forward to good story or captivating atmosphere, but this doesn't have any of it, there is almost no music in the game, so no atmosphere and as you are frustrated non-stop and forced to redo everything a hundred times, this game was unfortunately just the negative experience for me and I cannot support the praise it gets. 3/10… Expand
