Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath In-Game Trailer

Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath is an action-adventure game developed by Oddworld Inhabitants and published by Electronic Arts for the Microsoft Xbox. Music for the game was written by composer Michael Bross. It was released on January 25, 2005. A version for the PlayStation 2 was planned, but cancelled.

The game details the adventures of Stranger, a fearsome bounty hunter. Throughout the game, Stranger pursues and captures outlaws in order to collect bounties. The goal is to ultimately earn enough moolah (in-game money) to pay for a mysterious life-saving operation. One of the most notable features is the "live ammunition" system, which is literally ammunition made of living creatures like fictional insects and small mammals, each with different uses and effects against enemies.

The game is re-released as part of the "Oddbox", a newly announced collection which includes all the Oddworld games released so far.[3][4] It was scheduled to be released in the first quarter of 2010 on Windows through Steam,[5][6] but became available 20 December 2010.[7] Development team Just Add Water are currently preparing an updated version of the game for release on the PlayStation 3 which is set to be release on the PSN on December 27, 2011.

The premise of Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath is that the bounty hunter Stranger must earn moolah (in-game money) by tracking down outlaws with bounties on their heads and apprehending them, bringing them in dead or alive. The game utilizes both third and first-person perspectives. (Source: Wikipedia Entry http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oddworld:_Stranger%27s_Wrath)

I played and beat this game on a friend's Xbox. It is now available via Steam (Which is one gaming service I am not 100% fond of) and on gog.com

It is not a bad game BUT the lack of mod support and no multi-player means it has very little replay value. I enjoyed the game and the live ammunition system for the crossbow was a nice touch.

Give it a try buy or rent for the console or buy from either Steam or gog.com. PC wise gog.com is the better choice in my opinion. Play it and post your reviews.
