IGN Reviews - Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath HD Game Review

[NyuuLP]

They say it's a good game. So why does everybody complain about that they "can't recognize a good game"?!?

[CellOmega]

I'd like to see this on Xbox 360

[MelvinEncarnacion]

I want psychonauts for the ps3.

[poopstain742]

computer at this hotel is sooo slow!

[cheat12code]

Can't spell Ignorance without IGN

[trickster604]

love this game but why dont they have it for xbox 360!! it was origanlly made for xbox

[thekingofirony]

@trickster604 the devs had a fallout with Microsoft.

[TheHorrorAnthem]

Same old story for me, loved Oddyssey and Exodus, but never owned an Xbox. I am planning on downloading Stranger's Wrath soon off the Psn and am stoked. As I read up on it I hear it is truly a lost gem, and very intriguing with a very twisty story. I am looking very forward to playing it.

[basimaestrovideo]

i love oddword

[JumpyLuweegee]

IGN completely sucks now.

[yodadsface22]

i loved the original on xbox

[Dodgeprlk]

@yodadsface22

**playstation

[HALOHEADHUNTER]

this is hd?

[MyChasen]

if you guys are true fans of oddworld and have a facebook like oddworld inhabitants on facebook. it is the official site and they could really use some likes

[julianjarrod]

Where Abes :C

[tkpanda]

is the stranger mentally handicapped? when he talks he sounds like he has the IQ of 5. ima take down....err.... the looting duke at this here err.....the water factory

[Ristyo1992]

Yeah its official IGN just can't recognize a good game

[DeadlyFUCKINGzebra]

@Ristyo1992 Yeah its official Ristyo1992 just can't recognize that his favorite game DOES have some problems

[ModernRedneck13]

@Ristyo1992 7.5 is a good score. They even called it "good."

[LynnfordPS3]

Orpund117

[AlwaysJon]

Perfect 10.

[AlwaysJon]

Seriously I can respect opinion but this is ridiculous. Its third person platforming is great, and running through the dessert on all fours is a feeling of exhilaration barely reached in gaming. The first person shooting feels fantastic, and the weapons are near perfect.

[ColorMeDoubleZ]

@AlwaysJon The third person controls are abit iffy/loose, shooting can feel abit floaty. other than that the game is fine.

[AlwaysJon]

Really wish they'd release a hard copy for 360. One of my fav games ever made.

[megakurre]

why do people always moan about the review scores? its THEIR opinion not universal truth...you dumb fucks

[andyboy6913]

"Utterly unique" and "more unique." Go look up the word "unique."

[TheSneakiestNinja]

@rawnzii You can get it on your PC if you have steam.

[rawnzii]

Damnit why isn't it on pc? :( Guess i'll have to get it for PS3.

[Sugeusa]

First and last of all it's his opinion. Not yours.

[Vonboon11dy]

one of my favorite last gen games

[TheWoot23]

Single cell skyward sword had a bug that broke consoles and your saying a game with a few slugs and snags can't get a 10 stop defending ign fanboy

[MrWeedplant]

Alright guys it's his own opinion of the game, no need to start calling him a dumb ass and everything else, he's probably smarter then you anyways, you have your opinion IGN has there's, not a big deal.

[singlecell55]

everybody keeps saying "fuck you ign this game is a 10/10",i have played the game on original xbox and the hd remix and while this game is very good there are obvious problems,and a game cannot be a PERFECT 10 if it has problems.Thats why its called perfect,because there's nothing wrong with it.

[Tairaa91]

@singlecell55 butthurt fans lol i dont think this would deserve a 10, it IS a good one though

[AssasinsCreedBlog]

@singlecell55

your right........ gta 4 has NO bugs at all. i played it and it's PERFECT right?

yeh em...k

[mrcaffeinedude]

Just downloaded this...awesome game.

[iGhostmlg]

are you crazy this game was a 10/10 I only thumbs up this video because of the game, not for the stupid fucking review

[SiCkSc0p3z]

Actually just checked and its the highest user rated game of all time on metacritic that means you should probably try it :P

[thomashughes12345678]

7.5 is a bit low, 8 seems alright to me.

[SiCkSc0p3z]

@thomashughes12345678 Funny thing is this has a 9.8 avg user score on metacritic ign gives it a 7.5 mw3 has a 2.8 avg user score and they give it a 9 we already know you can't spell IGNorant without ign but this just further proves how credible large companies reviews are

[superchee2e]

@sentinental To you but this game was awesome to me. At the time I didn't care about graphics and story. As a little noob the idea that I could switch between first and third person was awesome, coupled with the hilarious ammo types. It was great. Plus the funny characters. AND it was something I loved as a teenager. It's like a 35 year old needing over playing the original legend of Zelda.to sum its crap but to me it's an iconic memory from my past that I want to experience again.

[MagicAccent]

wth, I can't find Strangers Wrath on psn :O

Had it been removed from the EU store?

[BashersButtons]

@MagicAccent

No it's still there :o

[idontcaremovies]

i love this game i have it on steam (piece of shit version) i played it on xbox and i would love this on ps3

[superchee2e]

I am getting a ps3 just for this. This game is the shit.

[sentinental]

@superchee2e yeah, it looked pretty shit to me lol

[antisadism]

Fuckin Opinions, how do they work?

[antisadism]

I wish they make another classic Abe game. The art, music, atmosphere is just too intoxicating.

[ThreeDaysOfDan]

you cant re rate a rated game dumb ass ign... its only goten a face lift not a in game change... so how does that result in a lower score...

[TheH7469]

This game was fucking awesome. Come to 360 already.

[ThreeDaysOfDan]

@TheH7469 it wont =D just add water signed an exclusivity deal...

[nsr4interpol]

Lens flares? Aren't you supposed to be looking through the eyes of a living thing? :/

[Dividyneh]

[OHYEAHPRODUCTIONSnr1]

[oddworldoddworld]

@TuneTamasha

Confirmed by Lorne Lanning for 2012 unless something changes.

[TuneTamasha]

@oddworldoddworld Confirmed when? Because AFAIK it will be either very late 2012 or early 2013. You do know how many Oddworld games are in development, right?

[ThreeDaysOfDan]

@TuneTamasha were in development..

[oddworldoddworld]

@TuneTamasha

Yeah about 4 right now.

Abe HD, Munch HD, Finishing up the transferable data for Stranger to hit Vita, The next 2 IPs of the quintology one which is already in full swing

[darkgrimshadow]

ign admit you didnt really like it because i was not like cod

[ratyfeye]

i freaking loved this game

[oddworldoddworld]

This is stroy about Oddworld in HD.

1. M$ paid money to steal Oddworld exclusively

2. Munch became the face of Xbox

3. Halo was made the mascot do to marketing (Also added the gay subtitle COMBAT EVOLVED)

4. Stranger was Xbox's use of Oddworld and FPS(Since Halo was their top game)

5. M$ killed the franchise.

6. Lorne Lanning and Oddworld are getting back to the games but M$ doesn't want anything to do with them.

SO The two Xbox titles will be on PSN now, and the originals in HD too.

[TaylorXCat]

So they turned an original xbox exclusive into a PS3 game? Makes no sense to me.

[NomCuda]

Stupid ign man this game is the Sheet!

[SAAAYWHATTTT]

@NomCuda you think its shit others think its great,

[LynnfordPS3]

It shows how random IGN scoring is, they give Zelda & uncharted 3 a 10, and Skyrim a 9.5 and Skyrim ends up winning GOTY, so I guarantee you that the just put all of the scores in a hat a take it and use it for a game lol

[Orpund117]

@LynnfordPS3 because ps3 is also na outdated system....

[LynnfordPS3]

@SupaMonsta95 Because Xbox is an outdated system

[Orpund117]

@LynnfordPS3 fanboy...

[joshiemo85]

The whole time i wanted to punch you in the mouth while watching this.This is a great game it was in the past and with better graphics it is now and if you dont think so ign man you shouldnt be playing video games.

[SupaMonsta95]

WHy isnt this for the 360??

[MrMariopro]

i love odd world! could this mean also munches odysee hd? or a new oddworld altogether?

[SuperEzekial19]

@K1NgKourosh LMAO of course you are a loser if you have all 3 consoles, what do you think being a super nerd is cool? Fucking idiot

[CorreaLang]

IGN are XBox fanboys, just see...

- Original Stranger's Wrath (Xbox): 8.8

- Stranger's Wrath HD (PS3): 7.5

WTF Isn't it the same game???

[warlockdemon18]

@CorreaLang no, its a hd remake...

[Astaticembrace]

@warlockdemon18 Exactly, therefore, it should get an even better score. It's an improvement.

There's this thing called Power Creep in reviewer slang. And it's why number scores SHOULD NOT exist...

[CorreaLang]

@warlockdemon18 Same game running on HD...

[shad0wshrew]

i want a legacy of kain hd pack

[artouxcp]

So released for xbox originally? Looks like they said "fuck it" and released for ps3, even though I've got no problem with that.

[OmegaXSam]

they always talk about how the game is repetitive ,, but always giving cod the best rating and yet the game is sooo repetitive from the begining to the end , specially online

[gjasiur]

you assholes this was an awesome game when i played it on xbox this game desirves a 10

[creativename3]

@gjasiur what the hell is wrong with you? did you even listen to what he saying during the review? did you listen to how much he said the game was good? and then you rage and force your opinion with so much anger to call them assholes?and act like he said the game was a piece of shit? no seriously, what the hell is wrong with you, go ahead think all this crap that you think, the guy still thinks its a good game like you do.

[theevilm1]

@gjasiur Nice spelling and grammar.

[anderst5]

Abes oddesey, is, and will ever be the best oddworld game <3

[Willy1191]

@anderst5 agree!

[scottydog771]

@anderst5 Except for Exodus but that's my opinion

[VaultTec3000]

@anderst5 i lived and loved them all

[DaOddWickedOne]

*slap* *weird cat-like noise* *funny laugh* *fart* 'yuck!'

[DaOddWickedOne]

'Hello' 'Hello!' 'Follow me' 'OK'

[DaOddWickedOne]

Still not as good as the old side-scrolling Oddworld games.... I MISS YOU ABE COME BAAACK!!! :(

[andylinkproductions]

cod is not repetitive??? biased bastard

[Yert3579]

Whenever I talk to people in the town, the audio cuts out halfway through when they are talking to me. Does this happen with anyone else?

[ColossalDragonTech]

@Yert3579

yeah happen to me too. I also notice some models don't cast or receive shadows.

[xMozzee]

@Yert3579 yeah it was a problem with the original too, but yeah great game and i got the platinum.

[Yert3579]

@xMozzee Hmm. I played the original on Xbox when it first came out back in 2005 and I don't remember having that problem. Oh well.

[xMozzee]

@Yert3579 maybe it wasnt then, its been so long since my xbox broke i cant really remember.

[ApeoplePers0n]

hey dont want to sound like a troll but you pc fanboys seem to think that everybody can pull a £1000 gaming pc out there ass so STFU

[brooklyndon17]

Kinda reminds me of john marston from rdr

[carbonseven1st]

i like abe

[NarfLarf]

I've been wanting to play this game for 6 years now and I finally can now! This was an unexpected pleasant surprise for a PS3/Wii/PC gamer.

[atterol1031]

got this game yesterday

[BLOOD2298]

voodoo vince is a fricken cool game that should be released on ps3 in hd

[OriginalDib]

It has since been announced that HD remakes of Abe's Oddysee (as well as possibly Exoddus), Munch's Oddysee and Stranger's Wrath have been planned for Playstation 3, PSVita, and PC release. Also, the next game in the series will be the completed Oddworld: The Hand of Odd real-time strategy game.

[OriginalDib]

There was gonna be a sequel to OW:SW called "The Brutal Ballad of Fangus Klot" but it was canceled. :(

[FJK46]

Looks good, but I'm waiting on Munches Odyssey HD

[SIERR117]

This is one of the best games of 2 decades, i use to play it on the original xbox then i lost it :(

And yestarday i found it on the psn store and crapped my pants :D

[machinimamarlon]

This is probably the only oddworld game I like.

[acdc09]

I hope there are more of these older games released in HD.

[RobboElRobbo]

Is this going to be on Steam?

[OriginalDib]

@RobboElRobbo i think it already is.

[JACC180]

Games today are too short, games back then are too long. MAKE UP YOUR FUCKING MIND IGN!!!

[L80616]

@JACC180 When did they say games were to long?

[JACC180]

@L80616 Well, it's what he's implying here, and in Ace combat. That mission "drag on," IGN is just dumb, and ignorant...

[L80616]

@JACC180 Well its an opinion you have to realise. Plus also everygame doesnt represent all of ign like back then when they were saying games were too long or whatever, they have a different guy reviewing it than now. Now I not gonna question your opinion on this game but you do have to realise that people have different opinions even ign.

[CALikeABossSnyper]

@JACC180 thats what shee said

[TrouserSn4ck]

I LOVED THIS GAME WHEN IT CAME OUT! why aint it on xbox??

[Zomb1eX]

Only odd world I liked and I was just about to buy it but it was on psn for 15$ I only got 13$ left till next month :((( in my opinion this game was amazing after beating it the 1st time but I wouldn't play it again after that

[Dpelv1n]

sick game, reviewer can be a bit IGNorant though

[TheGravitationist]

@Dpelv1n

Ignorant of what?

[TheIpodnanodude]

So sad me and my grandpa always played wthis when I was 5 but now since we have a new xbox I cant and neither can he :( and I cant find it for ps3

[TheIpodnanodude]

@TheIpodnanodude just realizws its coming out next yea

[OriginalDib]

@TheIpodnanodude check PSN dude

[prokentsful]

Are there any new Oddworld games in the works?

They were always the best games, Abe, Munch and the Stranger are the greatest characters in my opinion.

[Mushe07]

@prokentsful Abe's Oddysee HD.

[cyberwaffles]

this game looks cool as fuck.  never played it though.

still, nothing compares to the first two oddworld games: Odyssey and exodus. i would die if they made a new one with side scrolling and the voice control gameplay. there's honestly nothing quite like it.

[HrRevo]

Psychonauts HD please?

[philosoweed]

I wish they would make another one, cause this was a awesome game.

[ballaps2]

There's a twist...but I won't spoil it. STFU!!!

[Chandlaman]

Should I buy this on the playstation store or Trine 2?

[Purpleisawesome93]

2:52 No shit! That's the layout of nearly every game ever made.

[ledrush564]

What I don't understand is how the original on the xbox got an 8.8 and this got a 7.5. This is in HD and is the exact same game otherwise, so why the heck does it get a lower score with the only change being in better graphics?

[mars188]

@ledrush564 Maybe because its a old Game/ they toss some HD Paint on it toss in a few trophies then Milk that money cow

[cyberwaffles]

@ledrush564 probably has to do with age. the game might've been better back then compared to now.

[prokentsful]

@cyberwaffles I played it when I was about 11. I'm 17 now, just downloaded it on Steam and I still love it!!

I don't even have the HD version yet and it's still amazingly good.

[Dark0Fiction]

the title ¨Odd World¨ Does the game justice.

[MacintoshUser1986]

I find it amazing that the game came out on the original Xbox yet it's only available on PSN and not the XBLA.

[EternalSage07]

@MacintoshUser1986 There's nothing amazing or conspiracy-theory-worthy about it. It's simple, Sony paid them to do a remastering of this classic for the PSN. If you want it done then I suggest you contact Microsoft and petition for it.

[Purpleisawesome93]

@MacintoshUser1986 I'm guessing Sony bought back the rights to Oddworld from Microsoft.

[OriginalDib]

@Purpleisawesome93 Neither Sony or Microsoft owned or owns any rights to any of the games.

[ultimatefighter187]

This came out in 2005, it's still fnatastic

[jermalzx]

kingdom hearts hd collection

[THEWORSTTYLER]

not cod -10

[NalboTheChampion91]

Only 7.5?

IGNorant.

[zccmicky2]

@NalboTheChampion91 Yeah because it's IGN's job to give EVERY game a score over 9 right? Dumbass.

[def3mno62]

Fuck that. this game should at LEAST get an 8. personally I'd give it like an 8.6.

[MrMitchthegreat]

loved this game as a kid and played it all the way through when my 360 broke and i had to dig up my old xbox

[K1NgKourosh]

How can I be a virgin when my cock is literally as I am typing this in your mothers minge?

[SuperEzekial19]

@K1NgKourosh Err yes owning all 3 does make you a loser, pathetic little cunt, I dont need to use good grammer when talking to a little virgin like you, LOSER

[TheAusman101]

@SuperEzekial19 Fuck off troll

[foxjono96]

This game was my favourite on the xbox 1 might get it.

[AndriusFalkauskas]

This was the last game I bought for the original xbox before I boughta 360.

[masterbrice]

Hey you!

What?

Follow me ... O_o

Do'KAY ^_^

[MrChillZilla]

And also no HD Jak and Daxter Collection>?

[bowzlads]

like this if you honestly buy this game

[eX8jbn]

You know the average guy can only afford one systen and to be honest a PC is just an overpriced of junk. Video cards and hardware upgrades what waste of time.

[DISYICE]

@eX8jbn no it isn't expensive. It just requires more maintenance. And you don't have to upgrade so often unless you want to run the newest games at the highest settings. And most people just like tinkering and testing out the newer hardware.

[GalaxYSmokaH4Trilli0]

@DISYICE I will agree PC gaming would be awesome but its just to bad I don't happen to have 50.000$ to spend on a gaming PC just so I can play measly Max Payne! There is no point in owning a 360 when all its games (besides Gears 3) are on PC or PS3. People that owns both good for them but there is no point because 360 has no exclusive games that's why I sold my 360 last year to buy more PS3 games.

[YxFLETCHxY]

@GalaxYSmokaH4Trilli0 You don't actually have to spend that much on a PC for it to be able to handle games better than consoles. It only costs a lot if you're an enthusiast who wants to max everything. Just because you can't max it, doesn't mean your PC's not a gaming PC or not good enough, it just means it has limits, as do consoles. Although you can't see those limits on consoles as the options of doing so aren't available to players.

[NavalFluff]

@GalaxYSmokaH4Trilli0 At least my 360 has a working network.

[mdtwiztid]

@eX8jbn Not if you like pc games

[Gr4yF0x]

This game is awesome. Easily 9/10.

[xrustynailsx]

I would like to see sum gameplay with the Move

[Darkslayer1534]

IMO*

[Darkslayer1534]

@D0OMZDAYZ No. This e games are garbage sadly ..IMI

[austinthebookworm5]

lol none of the comments are related to the video...

anyway this is a good game, with a memorable twist

"An original xbox title back on ps3"

This kiddies is a primeï»
