So i was sitting at work and i noticed the game stranger sitting in our interactive demo case, took it up gave it a try and well, It wasn't bad at all in fact quite the oppisite, a very different type of game that falls true to the oddworld series Gameplay: You basically control Stranger, a very strange creature thats mixed between a dog and a scarecrow i would describe and pretty much you are able to jump, climb, punch, run on all four,swim, shake off damage, and even shoot with your crossbow. Of course the best part about this is shooting your crossbow, not only are the weapons intresting but its very unique because they are alive, strapping on from squirrels to fuzzles to even wierd creatures like spiders that webs up your enemy so you can bounty them up. Also to hunt for your ammo was very intresting,and enemies being are worth more Alive than dead so it gives it a challenge when facing certain enemies and bosses but also a reward in doing so. The controls to the game wasnt even that bad, in fact about less than 10 mins anyone would be able to understand the concept of the way Stranger works. Graphics: The graphics was very well done especially for the environments and the characters, Though it isn't anything revolutionary it still would satisfy today's gamer standard. Sound: The music wasn't half bad, the character Stranger reminded me of a very bad Clint Eastwood and the chicken people have hill billy accents, though most of the bosses do sound the same, stranger himself was the one holding the spotlight Story: Alot of plot and twists involved but nevertheless tons of action, nothing very in depth. Who is stranger, and why does he help chicken people. Who are nevertheless CHICKENS!? Value: Storywise the game is just all about collecting bounty and so far no real in depth plot involved, Its worth your collection if your a hardcore collector and even worth having at all, for some of the more hardcore gamers whose really bored and looking for a game to pass some time, This is one of the title you can't miss
