Strengths: great atmosphere, action, and voice acting; good graphics, soundtrack, and framerate; boss battles are fun
Weakness: low replay value (once you beat it, you probably would not go back to play it over again more than once); no mulitplayer modes; little to no unlockables
This is one of the most underrated games on the xbox in my opinion. I had a blast playing the game. You are a bounty hunter that is trying to gather up enough money for an operation. You have to collect your own ammo (live animals/insects) or you can buy them from a store. Catching or killing crooks nets you a nice sum of money (although killing the crooks give you less money then stunning them...
Strengths: (1) Original universe and character from the Oddworld Realm (2) Very entertaining "live" ammo system (3) Well integrated 3rd and 1st person perspectives for executing different actions (4) Long game
Weakness: (1) Little reason to replay
Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath departs from its Oddworld predecessors in terms of gameplay but the experiment was well worth it. This is a game that will appeal to a broad audience and yet give them a richer experience than they are probably used to. This is due in no small part to the creative story that is woven into the gameplay and cutscenes. Though often you are just simply choosing a mission...
Strengths: funny story
Weakness: shooting gets boring
This game is odd, just to warn you. This game revolves around stranger the lonegunman of this crazy western. the main gameplay is 1st/3rd person mix. The shooting is tight but gets repetive, and melee is quite fun. The gameplay is solid, graphics are beatuiful. If weird is your thing, get this game you won't be disappointed.
Strengths: Graphics, Live Ammo, Gameplay
Weakness: No Xbox Live, AI is tough in spots
Electronic Arts Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath for the Xbox is a really different and unique first / third person shooter which didn't receive nearly as much credit or accolades that it deserved. Storyline is great and the graphics are as well. There's nothing else out for the Xbox (or any other console for that matter) like this game out there. The game can be picked up for less than $30 now, so if...
Strengths: One of the most beautiful video game worlds ever created. Excellent controls and gameplay. Great story and characters.
Weakness: No multiplayer,online, or unlockable features.
This is THE most underrated game of 2005. Fans of Oddworld are in for a whole new experience with the lastest game from Oddworld Inhabitants. Oddworld Stranger's Wrath is a mixture of 1st person shooter with 3rd person platforming. To sum it up quickly, it's Munch's Odyssey meets Halo/Far Cry. This is a really good thing! But rather than kill everything that moves like in Halo, your job as a...
Strengths: New and innovative. Live ammo is a great idea. Great level design and boss tactics. Visuals are absolutely stunning. The best storyline in the Oddworld series.
Weakness: Could have used more variations of live ammo. Some parts were frustratingly difficult.
Overall this was a great experience. I bought this game the day it came out and have not regretted it once. The storyline in this game is awesome. The new and innovative shooter in the Oddworld series! The gameplay is unmatched by anything you've ever played. Definitely give this one a try.
Strengths: Retains that oddworld theme and unique approach to the fps
Weakness: Enemy AI can be incredibly stupid and cheats
Stranger's Wrath is a blast to play, with an engaging story, main character and fully fleshed out world. It plays longer than it actually is, and once you beat it, that is pretty much it in terms of replay. Still, at this price, 10-18 hours of tight gameplay is a bargain. This is far from a normal fps, as others have mentioned, you knock ammo unconscious, walk over and collect it. This isn't that...
Strengths: Different.
Weakness: Still a shooter.
Oddworld is a slightly different tyope of shooter. And that's saying something because there are so many look alike shooters out there these days. Set in the Oddworld universe, you play a bounty hunter in a very odd western themed alien shooter. The different setting and style works well. Also, it has some unique gameplay elements since you shoot living bullets. these bullets are different...
Strengths: Great graphics and great mix of gameplay styles. The story is very engaging.
Weakness: Audio needs a little work here and there.
In Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath you take the role of the bounty hunter named Stranger. You are one of a kind and you are raising money by collecting bounties to pay for an operation. The cool ting about this game is how well the mix of first person shooter and third person action/adventure work together to make a fun gaming experience. You use your crossbow, which has some of the best ammunition...

When the Playstation2 was first unveiled players got a glimpse of the last Oddworld game and it was a sight to behold. Shortly after the Xbox was unveiled, the Oddworld developers decided that their next game would not come to the Playstation2, but be an Xbox exclusive. That caused many people to be highly disappointed. When the game was finally released, it turned out to be slightly...

Quirky, original and a lot of fun!
Strengths: Classic Oddworld characters, visuals, storyline, level design, plenty of great boss battles
Weakness: ammo "capturing" is kinda tedious
Let's get this out of the way now, this is NOT anything like previous oddworld games. It's set in the same type of fantasy world with some of the same creature types but that's about as much of a link as there is. That being said, Stranger's Wrath is a great 1st/3rd person shooter. The game has a unique ammo system that gives you several different ways of taking care of a situation. The ammo...
