Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath -- Final Opinion.
Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath does something interesting midway through the game. Based around a major plot point, the game changes things up and alters the gameplay. It actually keeps things fresh. It's not entirely drastic, as it remains a first person shooter, but the weight of the game changes. It becomes slightly more serious, and far more intense. The story is excellently told, and ends in such a way as to leave you wanting more. The comedy lasts throughout the whole game. The graphics are top notch. Very pretty. Easily in the top five best looking Xbox titles in my opinion. The music can be subtle, and it can also be Hollywood bold and dramatic. The voice acting, like all of the Oddworld games, is exceptional. The controls are perfect. No complaints. It's a shame we'll likely never see a sequel as Oddworld Inhabitants has apparently gone the way of the dodo. Oh well, the Oddworld series will go down in my book as a gamer's series that didn't grab enough of the mainstream to survive. I truly enjoyed the game and I recommend it to the two of you who actually read this. I'm going to give it a score of 9.
