Oddworld: Strangers Wrath - a must buy!

Ben Franklin (Reviewer) posted this on Monday, 21st February 2005, 21:26

You`ve gotta get this game if you own an Xbox. Been playing a US version of it for the past week since completing the equally brilliant Resident Evil 4. :D

The graphics are sublime, and probably the best I`ve seen on the Xbox. You can switch between 1st and 3rd person view with ease, as you travel between beautifully designed towns taking bountys to earn money. The level design is some of the best I`ve seen, and the unique way you collect ammo (shooting animals) is just one of the things that sets it apart from anything else I`ve played.

I tend to play lots of games, but struggle to get into any of them. It has to be good for me to want to play it for more than an hour - the only games I`ve spent more than about five hours this year are Half Life 2, PES4, Resi 4 and this.

If you`re after a unique game, you`ve got to get this. Anyone else playing it? :D

Well it mixes FPS with platforming - there`s also a few minor puzzles to solve, and obviously its inhabited by all the same creatures. Its very much in the same vein as the previous Oddworld titles, but only its a different take on the way the actual game is played.

I`m pretty sure if you loved the previous games then this`ll more than please you. :p
