Oddworld Strangers Wrath Critic Reviews

Game Over Online

Here is where the game also diverges wildly from previous Oddworld titles, because once you take out the crossbow, you enter first person shooter mode. However, don’t expect BFG’s or other weaponry that you’ll pick up. Instead, Stranger uses...read the complete Oddworld Strangers Wrath review at Game Over Online

Essentially, Stranger's Wrath is a stealth/action game, taking place in an Oddworld version of the Wild West. You are a bounty hunter rounding up gangs of outlaw scum. You can kill them, but you get more moolah if you bring them in alive. You scour...read the complete Oddworld Strangers Wrath review at Electric Playground

Digital Entertainment News

When the Xbox brashly barged into our lives in 2001, there were initially three games worth owning for the monstrous Microsoft machine. One involved a well equipped cyborg, one involved well endowed, high-kicking women and the other was Oddworld:...read the complete Oddworld Strangers Wrath review at Digital Entertainment News

In Stranger, you play as The Stranger (surprise!), a bounty hunter who is earning money to buy an operation he needs for survival. You�ll be able to move from town to town in a fairly linear fashion collecting bounties and talking to residents...read the complete Oddworld Strangers Wrath review at GamePlasma

I apologise for gushing about the game so early on in this review, but Stranger's Wrath is very important, no question about it. In terms of gameplay, it may not be as big a revolution as previews have led us to believe, but it shows a level of...read the complete Oddworld Strangers Wrath review at Pro-G

One of the more endearing (and weird) things about Stranger's Wrath is the choice of ammunition. Everything you fire is actually an organic creature--most of which you have to capture first. Chipunks are smack-talking little rodents that, when shot, will...read the complete Oddworld Strangers Wrath review at G4

Xbox Addict

When one thinks of Oddworld games, they probably think the same thing I do. Small, toad-like creatures that run around in cities that are a cross between Tatooine (from the Star Wars series) and a landfill is a typical scene in an Oddworld neighborhood....read the complete Oddworld Strangers Wrath review at Xbox Addict

Breaking away from the formulas previously established in the rest of the Oddworld series (Abe's Oddysee, Abe's Exoddus, Munch's Oddysee), Stranger's Wrath is essentially a first-person shooter that includes a third-person viewpoint for navigation and...read the complete Oddworld Strangers Wrath review at Gamecritics

Oddworld: Munch's Oddysee was the lone platform game in the Xbox's first wave of titles. Initially lauded for its quirky, gritty art design, the gameplay was widely regarded as a gimmick-based mess. Stranger's Wrath represents a clear break from the...read the complete Oddworld Strangers Wrath review at Game Rankings

Boomtown

At it's most basic level, Stranger's Wrath is a FPS with some minor platforming and exploration elements – handily viewable in a switchable third-person view. Things quickly seem to settle down into a predictable gameplay structure: go to a town...read the complete Oddworld Strangers Wrath review at Boomtown

Contact Music

With Oddworld Stranger's Wrath, Oddworld team has taken a combination of traditional gaming styles such as 3D platform and level RPG and FPS and added their own unique twists to deliver a refreshingly new interactive experience. You will step into the...read the complete Oddworld Strangers Wrath review at Contact Music

1UP

Stranger -- the title character of this fourth Oddworld adventure -- is the exact opposite. This soft-spoken, Eastwood-esque bounty hunter is perfect for the old-west setting of Stranger's Wrath, but has all the personality of a tumbleweed. Most of this...read the complete Oddworld Strangers Wrath review at 1UP

PALGN AU

The game was originally scheduled to be released on the Xbox and then the Playstation 2 later down the track, but Electronic Arts picked up the publishing rights to the game and has kept it a Xbox exclusive. Players assume the role of Stranger, who is a...read the complete Oddworld Strangers Wrath review at PALGN AU

GamerDad

From a violence standpoint, Stranger's Wrath is predominantly a First Person Shooter, and the game centers on the Stranger's use of a crossbow to either kill or incapacitate his enemies. The crossbow itself is the game's main teen-friendly innovation:...read the complete Oddworld Strangers Wrath review at GamerDad

Cincinnati Enquirer

The gimmick in EA Games' new Oddworld Stranger's Wrath is its weapons system, which isn't like any you might expect. The weapons don't fire bullets or lasers. They are alien critters, such as exploding Boombats or piranha-like Fuzzles that attack the...read the complete Oddworld Strangers Wrath review at Cincinnati Enquirer

DreamStation.cc

The majority of Stranger’s Wrath’s gameplay circles around the “Live Ammo” concept. Each type of ammunition provides a unique purpose, almost all of which are useful in certain situations. Chipmunks, chippunks rather, can be used to lure an...read the complete Oddworld Strangers Wrath review at DreamStation.cc

But I digress. Here's the deal: you basically play a lonesome bounty hunter, going from town to town hunting down all the wanted ne'er do wells for 'moolah'. The behatted gravel voiced Stranger doesn't like guns for reasons not fully explained, but is...read the complete Oddworld Strangers Wrath review at Eurogamer

Our anti-hero’s quest begins with a need for cold hard cash. He’s plagued by a mysterious ailment and must collect money for an operation. What better way to get a bit of moolah than bagging a bunch of bad guys? Each goon and boss is worth money when...read the complete Oddworld Strangers Wrath review at Xequted

When the first bunches of enemies try to sneak up on me I immediately notice the difference between the two camera angles. The first person mode is obviously more action driven while the third person point of view offers more platform gameplay. In first...read the complete Oddworld Strangers Wrath review at Frag Land
