 One of the all time greatest August 11, 2010

When I picked this gem up I was not expecting to replay it as much as I have. I have probably wasted ten weeks of my life on this game and do not regret it for an instant. A must play for FPS fanatics.

The best way i can explain this game is it's sort of a cross between a Spaghetti western and a muppets movie.
There is lots of elements in this game some first person shooter and some beat em up.
i would like to say this would be a great game for kids but some of the foul language might turn them off.
hilarious & very entertaining August 3, 2009

the graphics are amazing even still, the story is very clever & has the usual political undertones on environment & industry that runs through the whole series of oddworld. The game play is good except for the boss fights, this is probably one of the best first person shooters ever made because it doesn't take itself to seriously. This whole series reflect what video games really should be functionally & has the game mechanics that are lacking in so many modern titles. this will NOT work on xbox 360 though. This is the last of proper strategy games like Hitman blood money. So if halo & vin Diesel is your thing this will be way beyond your capabilities :)
Amazingly fun - if only it was 360 compatible March 27, 2009

Oddworld Stranger's Wrath is a brilliant bounty-hunter game from the off-beat creators of the Oddworld series. You roam through a fantastic world chasing down enemies with your arsenal of living creatures.
The game is extremely well animated and rendered, with a variety of creatures that you immediately connect with. There are little multi-teethed killer Fuzzles, the oh-so-cute Chippunks, flying creatures, smelly creatures, and more. You fire all of these with your crossbow, wreaking mayhem on your enemies.
The theory here is that you're trying to capture as many bad guys as you can alive, to get the largest bounty for them. Different enemies call for different capture techniques. Some require the flying monsters, while others need to be wound up in a cocoon. It's all done with an "old west" motif, with drawling, laconic discussion and dusty, tumbleweed landscapes.
We love the game. The dialogue is brilliant at times, the gameplay is engaging. Your ammo is just so much fun! They talk back to you, laugh as they are flung at the enemies and have a variety of attack styles. When you run out, you just go to a patch of weeds and track down some more.
The game goes between first person and third person and does so rather well. My only real complaint is with the camera, which at times gets caught behind buildings and other obstacles.
The game guides you along nicely. You are pursuing bounty person X, you know their hideout area, you go there and find them. It keeps you moving along in the right direction.
If there's a real complaint, it is that the game does NOT work on the XBox 360. This is one of the only reasons we were holding onto our ancient XBox system and I would much rather be playing this on the XBox 360. It looks very unlikely that they're ever going to patch the 360 to support this older game, though.
Still, if you own an XBox, I definitely recommend finding this game!
