Great game, plain and simple
User Rating: 8.6 | Oddworld Stranger's Wrath XBOX
Gameplay- Very fun Oddworld gameplay. Follows the whole Oddworld idea. Just wacky ideas like hunting for your ammo, shooting animals that help you out and going after enemies that fit well with the whole Oddworld concept I think. Mainly if you love collecting bounties in games, well you will also love this game. It also has a unique concept where you have navigate the world (even if it is a little linear) which I though was a very good idea. Stranger is a great addition to the world of well...Oddworld. Graphics- Strangers Wrath has some damn fine cinematics. The graphics in the gameplay aren't shabby either but some of the fine things are sort of skipped over like the animals when they are in the wild don't look like they do when they are in your crossbow. They look really too simple but again the overall graphics are very well done. Sound- Here is where I think the game lacked. Some of the music and the voice overs are well not hokey but not done too well. I mean here that the main character, Stranger, has way to deep and slow of a voice. I know they were going after the whole wild west theme but it is way to low and quiet to understand at times, but it is decent at best. Value- Overall this game has great gameplay mixed in with some beautiful graphics and some decent at best sound. I personally love how wacky these games are and I think the people at EA and Oddworld do a great job at coming up with the most original adventure games on the market. I say to them great job and keep it up.
