Gameplay: 9.4
Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath has very innovative gameplay, in a very odd (but in a good way) 1st and 3rd person views. The 1st person view has you holding a crossbow and a limited number of "Live Ammo" the even talks back to you. The 3rd person view only has two attacks. This game also gets repetitive and seems like your trying to capture the same outlaws over and over again.

Graphics: 9.6
The graphics in this game are simply gorgeous in the very few cinematics that it has. The "Live Ammo" in this game looks simply amazing and Stranger himself looks like a very old horse. All of the towns people all look like deformed chickens. Also the inside of buildings have the best graphics I've ever seen.

Sound/Music: 9.0
All of the voices in Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath sound as if they got random people off of the street with either really deep or really high voices. The sound effects in the game sound better than most average platformers and actually sound like they belong in this game. You don't really notice the music because all of the cheesy, yet funny dialogue, but the over music sounds pretty good for a platformer.

Story: 9.5
The story at first is kind of simple, capture wanted bounties for money towards a special surgery, but what the surgery in fact is a huge twist that was really breathtaking. After you find out Stranger's secret your main goal is to take out a villain who is destroying a town. So you obviously have to take him down.

Control: 9.6
The control is actually really simple to get used to. The only two problems I had with the control was switching ammo and having to switch back to the 3rd person view to capture a bounty.
