  • I think the problem with these new games, isn't necessarily that the gameplay is bad. I'll be honest, it looks a bunch of fun. I also don't mind Abe not returning so much. The main problem I find is that these newer titles seem so light and childish. The original Oddworld games on the playstation had INCREDIBLY dark humor, and a chilling atmosphere. Characters being turned into meat, heart pounding music, screeching monsters. It's dark humor, not Crash Bandicoot humor like this game feels...

  • @TheGmodGtards this game and munch's oddysee are awesome games! 2 of the best games for the old xbox, i got them both and still play them. the only people that dislike these 2 games are enraged sony fans who are just pissed they lost the oddworld series to microsoft a long time ago and so they bitch about what they don't have anymore.

  • @XRaPeRiToX I disagree. It's possible to critique and dislike a game without an agenda. I own all of the current and past generation consoles. I just prefer the older darker games. Incidentally, I own them on a PC currently.

  • @TheGmodGtards wow dude it's a fact that the mayority of people who hate this game are enraged sony fanboys bitching because the game is no longer for playstation, you can see this all over youtube. but in your case OK at the end of the day is just a matter of opinion! so you got yours and i got mines.

  • @XRaPeRiToX How do you mean, no longer for playstation? You can download stranger's Wrath hd in playstation store for ps3, it's also coming to psvita. I heard they are gonna do the same for munch's oddysee.

  • @dukeinator64 meaning that they weren't originally released on any sony console because oddworlds belongs to microsoft now.

  • I dunno - why so many glowing reviews? 8.5? We were programming 1st to 3rd person shooting back in the days of Quake - the Chasecam mods. So that isn't a new development here. I would think maybe a 5 or 6/10 just because of the absolute lack of creativity with the characters, voices, dialogue. I mean that's really what you're interacting with that it severely affects gameplay. You didn't even mention the constant foul language and sexual innuendos, which really turned me off this game.

  • it costs 12.00 euro on PSN wtf?

  • I loved Abe's odyssey but I still thought this game was fucking awesome.

  • Where is abe i miss abe i miss it on playstion it should be exlusive to ps3

  • @TheAlvoBoy LOL you sony fags lost the oddworld series to microsoft a long time ago dude get over it.

  • got to admit when i saw that a new oddworld game was on the way, i found myself excited. Altough it was effectivly ruined by actually looking at the game, I'm not bothered about the best first person shooters, let alone this giant dissapointment. Where is Abe and my puzzles????

  • like the old oddworld NOTHING!!!!!!

  • Ps3 what the fuck?!?! but its and xbox franchise!!!

  • @spiralmountain5 oddworld started off ps1

  • it's coming to the playstation vita.

  • @Biddybalboa So is Munch's Oddysee

  • oh my god, it's doc ock from spidarman 2 D:

  • To all "odd world fans" that say this is not a true odd world game shut the fuck up you only bought and played there games not made you don't know the whole story yet

  • ok i gotta question, has anyone else bought this on steam? cause i did, but when i downloaded it, the enemies movements were all fucked up, the graphics had splits all over them and the game was messed up overall. should i just redownload it?

  • i like the style of gameplay thats on oddworld exoddus and first ever oddworld game its like mario game

  • does anyone know where i can activate the subtitles on this game? i searched everywhere on the menus but couldnt find it, sometimes its really hard to heard what the caracteres are sayin......xbox version, by the way

  • STOP EVERYTHING NOW

    ODDWORLD INHABINANTS HAS PARTNERED WITH JUST THE "JUST ADD WATER" TEAM (WHICH RELEASED THE FOUR GAMES ON STEAM)

    THEY ARE WORKING TOGETHER TO CREATE A NEW ODDWORLD GAME

    AND SQUEEKS ODDYSEE WILL BE RELEASED.THEY ARE STILL THINKING ABOUT MUNCH'S EXODDUS

    CAN.NOT.WAIT

    paste to other oddworld videos and spread the news

  • is this related to Abe's Oddworld?

  • @Ball50f5teal ...yes I have,but have you ever heard the phrase short on money?anyway,I was just asking a question.maybe stupid,but the presentation the game provides is just unconvincing.that's all.it dosent LOOK that good,and at the moment I just don't have money to throw out the window.k,I'm done.

  • um...this game looks....well,im unconvinced,people say its great but...i dunno...

  • @walkthroughsandmusic ever heard of judging a book by its cover?

  • he forgot to mention Abe Exodus

  • i dont get why they are remaking this for the ps3 and pc because it was never on playstation

  • @y05077 Yea i rather want it for my x360

  • @y05077 ???? it was ALWAYS on playstation.... Oddworld odyssey and exodus WAS playstation FIRST!!!

  • @madJedi1 oddworld: strangers wrath was never on the playstation, calm down

  • These games were so underrated :,(

  • @MultiGreenwood true

  • We WANT ABE!!! RAWR!!

  • make an new oddworld game!! please :)

  • There are rumors of a HD re-release of the Oddworld series, hope they're true! :)

  • It looks more like a 6.5-7 game than a 8.5. Honestly, that's the type of game you would have seen on the N64. lmao Reminds me of Turok, just a lot gayer. 

  • @DownloadDoctor1 I think you need a good kick in the balls and a pair of glasses.

  • There may be detractors for this game, but I thought it was superb. It follows the theme of the Oddworld series in the form of corporate exploitation of natural resources and the negative aspects that entails. Combine that with a sort of messianic figure (Stranger), and you have a nice Oddworld addition. First there was Abe, then along came Stranger.

  • i loved this game, one of ma best games ever

  • it should have stayed puzzle based and not gone 3d i don't care if abe is in it or not the 2d games were great and fun

  • Oddworld strangers wrath is freaking amazing u guys just all suck dick

  • this looks so shitty. Abe's oddysee and exodus were the only good games in the series.

    oddworld should never be a fucking shooter game in 3d..

  • @MrOcskai Totally angreed with you.People who like this game are fucked in the head,l mean this isn't even Oddworld.Abe's Oddysee and Exoddus are some of the best games ever,unlike this.

  • This guy is insane im a gamer and I think I can honestly say this game was so unique it's among my top 3 favorite games of all time.

  • Im waiting for an oddworld MMORPG :)

  • @jimjimbob123 ..TAKE MY MONEY

  • is there any sequel? that was great game

  • In my opinion the best Oddworld game. I just liked this one more than the others. It was challenging (especially live bounties) and something new yet fun. I agree fully with this review.

    If you don't have this game, consider renting it. There's not a whole lot of replayability and the game is short, but definitely fun.

  • Yes, just because Oddworld Inhabitants first games contained mudokons doesn't mean all their games will. Things changes, they can't keep to the same concept all the time really. I'm a big fan of Abe's Oddysee and Abe's Exoddus but, I do understand that Oddworld Inhabitants must move on. I havn't played Munch's Oddysee or Stranger's Wrath because I don't own a XBOX. And also I don't like having games on steam, I feel that I don't own the games, feels weird.

    But anyways, stranger's wrath looks gr8

  • Stranger's Wrath was my favorite in the Oddworld series. Just because the story really drew me in around the second half.

  • munch's oddysee was the best

  • Thanks for the review

  • lol ... it's not a original abe's  , like exoddus or oddysee

  • heh mudowkuns glahkuns

  • hat das spiel geschichtlich noch was mit den alten abe teilen zutun ? o.o

  • Looks kinda booring to me.

  • @gamerdragon89 yeah but the game's allready a couple years old. Gameplay isn't really up to par with most games this day, but for it's time it was great.

  • Man, I loved Oddworld games. They had a certain element of adventure, mystery, and intriguing gameplay (Oddysey and Exodus, I'm looking at you) which seems to be so... Devoid in most games these days. Come on, make a new one.

    Abe is an icon of 1990's gaming. They can't resign him to the dustbin.

  • @SomeBlokeLol Yeah. They don't make games like they used to.

  • @SomeBlokeLol They released most of them on psn and are releasing this one as well so not left to the dustbin

  • @SomeBlokeLol i am honestly hoping to god that they make strangers wrath 2. i fucking love everything about this game.

  • stupid game

  • @BurnWitchBurn agree on that

  • I'm excited that they are remaking this in HD, I think it will FIX all of the few problems this game had

  • hahaha it's so stupid game..@!

  • woo-hoo stranger.=)

  • it may be true that oddworld's is not mudokons and rescuing

    but goddamn i came a lot when it was in 2d

  • This game was and is THE SHIT!

  • this game is going to be released on ps3 via PSN and PC in steam with HD graphics 720p in 2011 dunno the month. The best game for xbox finnaly remaked cant wait

  • @ColdTristan WHEN???

  • @scottydog771 they didnt say a date only 2011

  • never played munch's odyssey, but played both the first abe games and this. Oddworld is great

  • I dearly, dearly, DEARLY love the first 2 games of the Oddworld series. I'm not a huge fan of Munch's Oddysee, but THIS game.

    Is very good. It's refreshing, and provides another view of Oddworld. It's the same planet, so who says that Stranger and Abe won't meet up?

  • all of the oddworld games with abe in them sucked anyway

    this is an awesome game all the platforming and puzzle solving you remember with some action and shooting that everyone loves

  • can u get this for computer? i have not even seen a normal Xbox in years

  • here is my review, the game is shit, it should have nothing to do with oddworld games. Even though munches odysee was 3d the game still ruled with a good story, this game was just a piece of shit from the start right until the end, wow an operation to save yourself, amazing.

  • @d07a What's bad about it exactly?

  • @d07a

    What makes this game great is how they blended third person combat and platforming and first person shooting, and it is executed. Also the concept of live ammo gives some originality.

    But if you dislike this one, because it's nothing like the past titles, why are you on this video? lol

  • @d07a yeah because thats the extent of the story

    its called stranger's wrath

    maybe he gets revenge on somebody for something maybe? i dont know oh wait i do your just a fucking retard

    and this game is 4x better than the other games in the series why dont you do yourself a favor and dont say shit that you cant prove and just pulled out of your ass without any reasoning

  • I learned to mimick the newfags:

    THIS AINT NO AWDWURLD DERE IZ NO ABE

  • this aint odd world

    weres abe

  • this aint odd world

    

  • The fat man is angry....FEED EM DONUTS!

  • Actually, you may all be interested to know that this game is being ported to the PS3 with much higher graphics as well. As of yet, an Xbox360 is not announced.

  • this game was so fucking amazing back then

    man i miss this game

    FUCK YOU MICROSOFT MAKE IT BACKWARDS COMPATIBLE!!!

  • @mitch13815 exactly my thoughts, i went out and bought stranger's wrath because i never got to play it back on the original xbox, and i was "hoping" that they would eventually make it backwards compatible. But it seems they have abandoned making anything else BC ever again, which makes me really sad. Fortunately since they are doing a remake for the ps3, i may actually get a chance to experience this game yet.

  • @JamieMadrox195 yeah a couple years after my orig xbox broke down(after the 360)

    i bought a new one from gamestop

    it was even worse than me last one!!1!!!!!!one!!!!shift!

    fml

  • great review :)

  • Why isn't there an MMO with these kinda graphics again?

  • its also coming out on PC! Cheers!

  • wohoho, that dude looks and sounds like john candy.

  • @SENATORPAIN1 god your right!! How cool :D

  • @SENATORPAIN1 Never ever again call the almighty GiantBomb Jeff Gerstmann "that dude". Never ever again -- ever!

  • shabang? ugh , who says that?

  • can't wait til lthis comes out on PS3

  • @Jerichoholic20 uh what?

  • @TheRealTKillah its being released to ps3

  • Ok i got to say this, i've been a big fan of oddworld since the first one and its one of my fav games. This isnt oddworld, i never played this but i can tell already it sucks.

  • @PuPpEtMaStEr104 You fail.

  • @harrier125 Agreed

  • one of my all time favorites

  • i know it dosnt follow the oddworld story but personaly i this has an even better story

  • i still like the old abe's oddysee and abe's exoddus games. they seem to be the best and more interesting than the newer stuff such as this. sure this game may be great but it doesn't follow the other oddworld games and is quite disappointing for me. it would be great if they just stuck with the 2d side-scroller. take munch's oddysey for example; if that was 2d side scroller i think it could be great, especially with the addition of munch. reply if you guys have any suggestions, but thats jst me

  • I dont like this game it looks bad... the gameplay and everything looks awsome but it doesnt keep with the oddworld story.... it only has the wildlife and thats it! look on the oddworld website to see for yourself it doenst mention the chicken people or the starngers enemys either!

  • Wow I feel like an idiot not knowing that Oddworld made this game. It looks sweet though!

  • Oddworld needs a new game but they need to stick with Abe's Oddysee game mode I like Platform , they are ultimate games :)

  • there making a new oddworld : D

  • @Sparks424 DONT LIE. Oddworld's creators got shut down, who could be making another oddworld game?

  • @halowaffles not lying i saw it on IGN in the 360 section.dont know whos making it tho.

  • @Sparks424  Early this year it was announced that oddworld inhabitants are back with a company named just ad water and they are working on a multiplatform game for the next-gen consoles and a remake of the Strangers Wrath for the pc that never got released

  • @halowaffles The Oddworld creators known as odworld inhabitants never got shut down they just left the game industry cause they didnt like where the industry was going.But early this year it was announced that oddworld inhabitants are back with a company named just ad water and they are working on a multiplatform game for the next-gen consoles and a remake of the Strangers Wrath for the pc that never got released.

  • @ANGERINSIDE Well that's interesting

  • Why oh why did EA shut down Fangus??? :(

  • Oddworld Inhabitants need to come with a new game =[

  • Abe's Oddysee and exodus are the best alll those games after are crap like Munch oddysee

  • @mladen83db yea i agree with you

  • Looking back, I can't think of a game on the original Xbox that was as great as this. I don't even want to think about the lack-of-sales, as this was such a huge game for me and remains one of my fondest gaming memories.

  • @JohnyJoe Me too Joe, me too.

  • dude i want to play this game again so bad but no one sells it :(

  • @Tediz936 dude, u can get it on ebay

  • That game was epicly awesome!

  • It's sad people didn't play this, its just like what happened to okami. I want a strangers wrath 2!!

  • I can't believe people are bitching about wanting Abe back. Besides the fact that Oddworld Inhabitants seems almost defunct and will probably never release anything anymore anyway, try to remember that this series is OddWORLD, and that there's a lot more going on in their universe than a few mudokins running around. Think of oddworld as more of a setting than a strict chronology of games.

  • I thought this game was the best of the Oddworld franchise when I finished it back in 05. I still think it is the best in series looking back at the other 3 games.

    Stranger was the most fun protagonist imv, it felt like you were controlling a gun totting half bull- half lion. Very fast and powerful.

  • As much as I love Abe, I love Stranger just as much. Oddworld is a big place. Every character should at least be respected. (Plus, you ever think that perhaps Stranger will tie in to Abe's story at some point?)

  • I don't understand you people. How can you say you lost interest? Oddworld was never MEANT to be JUST about Abe and the Mudokons! Ever think there's a bit more going on here? Abe's Exodus was a bonus game, so we're lucky we got that. Munch's Odysee was supposed to be the second game. This is what makes Oddworld special-the fact that it doesn't evolve around only a handful of species and a single format.

  • @Panthiguar Exactly. It's called OddWORLD for a reason, it's not just a little island featuring the Mudokons.

  • Ok, fuck you lot who don't like this because Abe's not in it. What Oddworld Inhabitants done here was great. Seriously, why would you want another game that's based around rescuing mudokens for the 4th time?

    And to actually be able to beat the shit out of enemies without the help of allies you rescue is quite refreshing and it stil manages to be a challenge; lus the instant change of gameplay around 3/4 quarters in is well excuted. Also it's called the 'Oddworld QUINTOLOGY' FOR A REASON!

  • @emeraldthechao174 want to beat the shit out of your enemies with no skill required to do it? try these games

    googledotcom>search tekken

    Want a game that requires skill, timing, thought? then don't play this pathetic example of a game.

  • @d07a Mad because doesn't want to play something new

  • @emeraldthechao174 if you want shooting around so badly, go play a shooter. the oddworld games should be consistent. im not saying they should stay the same. Oddysee and Exoddus were enough. i mean they should revolve around central gameplay ideas. also, there have only been two games in the quintology so far, both Oddysee games.

  • @cartrifride You wanted another game that was exactly the same as the other one?

    Although I love all the Oddworld games, the 1st one is my favourite, the original gameplay didn't work so well in 3D and the fact that you couldn't kill enemies yourself just got annoying and tedious. And I'm actually sick of shooters, this game actually done it right by mixing it well with other gameplay genres like platforming and a beat-em'-up.

  • @emeraldthechao174 that is very true. i think each game in the quintology should have its own style of gameplay. so its kind of like we're seeing oddworld from multiple perspectives. i just think the quality of this game should have been improved a little.

  • @emeraldthechao174 theyt should have stoped at abes exoddus cuz the other two+ r shit

  • @2013Jano What's shit about them? And don't mention Abe.

  • @emeraldthechao174 You might as well slap the name Oddworld on any random game and justify it.

    Oddworld is not Diskworld.. It is a series of games which i expect to resresemble its predecessors in gameplay at least.

    If Grand theft auto 5 was released as a puzzle game i would react the same way.

  • @TheCohagen You wanted to rescue Mudokens all over again? The same gameplay gets tiresome, look at Munch's Oddyssey. Sure they added some new stuff (like the power ups, fuzzles and the most fucked up ending ever) but the gameplay was exactly the same and it's clearly a type not meant for 3D games. If they made some 2D ones sure I would prefere the original gameplay.

  • This game is awsome

  • What the fuck is wrong with the creators of oddworld!?!?!? WTF happend to ABE and his quest to save his kind? What happend to 2D sidescrolling puzzle platforming action?

    Lets face it nobody cares about the "stranger" nor does anybody care for "MUNCH" we all just want Abe.

    PERSONAL RATING :

    1.0 with the maximum rating of 5.0

    I mean Oddworld isnt ment to be a shooter nor is it ment to be 3D :P

  • @MrTinkotin

    i dont care what you all say, strangers wrath is awesome

  • @TheTKillah

    i preffer this be called a spinoff serries

  • @MrTinkotin I agree. I grew up on Abe's odyssey and Abe's exodus. Once they came out with munch's bullshit I totally lost interest. Though I did play muches Odyssey to give a try.. it will never be the same.. I still play both of the originals on ePSXe though

  • i really dont like this 3d....2d is still nr.1 and the true perspective of gaming :D

  • this was the fuckin best in the this franchise the war at the end was sick

  • i'd rather play the first and second..this its just...stupid/schupid

  • this game was quality, damn quality...combined 3rd and 1st person seamlessly and the bosses were fun to fight. i got a shooter, but i also got puzzles. good game...

  • I thought I was the only one that coudln't make out wtf the characters were saying half the time.

  • Haha that's fucking weird. Yeah I like this game, it's pretty fun.

  • This was such a great game.

  • This game is amazing, hopefully they make it 360 compatible. Also who gives a crap about voice acting in this kind of game?

  • Bring back 2D only
