Oddworld: Stranger’s Wrath

HD EA PS3 (online) Rating: 12 ***

This is a high definition remake of the 2005 Xbox game for the next generation of consoles and centres around the adventures of bounty hunter Stranger. Set in the Wild West of Oddworld, you jump, climb and fight your way through the game. Instead of just porting the original Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath, Just Add Water worked with Oddworld creator Lorne Lanning to bring it up to scratch for today's gamers. Character models have been worked on to increase their polygon count, the environments have been upgraded and the audio has been redone. The end result is a better looking – and sounding – game that deserves its spot on next-gen consoles. It keeps all the charm of the original though, mixing first person and third person gameplay, and the ability to use creatures as "live ammo".
