Oddworld Stranger's Wrath

[Opaque]

I did not like Munch's Mountain Dew Adventure. I love Halo 2.

Will I enjoy this game?

[Korly]

I didn't like Munchs either, but playing this makes me want to go back and try it again. Maybe there was some entertainment in there that I didn't appreciate back in 2001. I think in a lot of ways that Strangers Wrath is a better single player experience than Halo 2, and it definitely takes a decidely more Halo-ish turn in the second half.

Beat this earlier today. I wish it was longer, but at least they didn't stretch it out, or make you do any lame back tracking.

If you're on the fence about this game, GET OFF OF IT!!! It's really quite good.

And, I had that preorder DVD sitting around for a few weeks and didn't think anything of it, but if you've got it it's definitely worth watching. It's got every cinema from every Oddworld game, plus lots of extras.

I've never heard something so true about EA. It's actually making a lot of fans pissed off by changing the series into what THEY believe is the best. (Well, in Command and Conquer, I figure what they think is the best is indeed the best, but maybe its not so everywhere )
BTW I'm getting angry about these console releases that leave the PC gamers drooling. Damn console making companies. still, it'll take a long time for you to beat HL2 guys... that's a truth! hehehe

Anybody NOT getting this game b/c of the publisher?

[Jeremy]

Nope, a good game is a good game no matter who publishes it, and the EA thing isn't that bad on the actual box, it looks horrid in pics though. I'll probably get this with my Gamer's Gift Card coupon in the coming weeks, if I don't spend too much on birthday gifts. Korly, that DVD sounds awesome, and makes Munch's Oddysee completely worthless.

[Korly]

Yeah, thanks to that DVD I got to see the "Bad Ending" of all 3 games, which are all awesome, especially Munchs. Too bad it looks like Stranger only has one ending.

Started playing this today. I really like all of the shit talking the guys in the beginning do.

I remember seeing this game on a videogame doco. it looked sweet.

That is truth, and I wish MS had published it, as the EA shit on the cover is just an eyesore.

wtf, another review of a game cover?

You catch "live" ammo. You kill them, pick them up, and use them as ammo.

Not quite. You only "stun" the ammo, and it is quite alive when shot. I only mention this technicality because for those who haven't played, it's amusing as hell. Example: one type of ammo is the "Chippunk", an trash-talking chipmunk-like creature that talks so much shit (even when notched on your crossbow) that any nearby enemies are compelled to walk over and try and stomp it to death. Very useful if you happened to have shot about 5 Fuzzles (picture Tribbles with Downs Syndrome and giant teeth) onto the ground next to the Chippunk -- enemy charges the irritating Chippunk, and then gets bloodily devoured by the crazed Fuzzles. Then there are the Boom Bats...
