You're the Stranger, a mysterious bounty hunter on a mission to bag the ultimate prize. And you need that money like no one else because there is something very wrong with your health and the only way to fix it is a very costly operation. However the nature of your illness remains a secret and as you find out during the game, for a good reason.
This world is full of bad guys so there is plenty to do. Each opponent is different, sometimes in the most bizarre way so you have to be careful and adapt your tactics to each target individually. So load up your double-barreled crossbow with up to 81 living ammo combinations. Track down those criminals with money on their head and bring them in, dead or alive. Welcome to the Mongo River Valley, the irony mining capital of the continent.
Oddworld Stranger's Wrath HD features more than 80 characters remodeled from the original game, improved controls for the PC, and some hidden Easter eggs.
Blast, Bash, or Smash - Take down ornery outlaws in 3rd-person, fists-flyin' brawls or 1st-person, both-barrels-blazin' shootouts
Live ammo - choose how you abuse. Load your double-barreled crossbow with Chippunks, Boombats, and other "live" ammo
Based in the unique Oddworld universe that brings to life the most bizarre creations

Why buy on GOG.COM?
DRM FREE. No activation or online connection required to play.
Strangers Wrath is definitely one of the best games I have played, but I was rather disappointed by the swearing in the game. Sadly I am not able to play this game around my little boy, because he is bound to pick up the occasional swear word, which I am not okay with. It would be great if there was an option to censor some of the voice over work.
2 Stars for nice looks.
I can't play this game. It's too annoying to bother.
1) controls are just broken.
I hit the D key for 1 microsecond, the character moves 3 miles to the right, oops... The coordination of camera + controls doesn't really work.
(I play with keyboard + mouse. No, I will not play a game like that with gamepad. I could have bought a console if I wanted inferior controls. Gamepads are for racing & flying games and such, where analog joysticks make sense...)
2) Follower Camera was apparently programmed by a summer intern and not reviewed...
3) Too small Field Of View angle.
A mistake frequently made, I'm note sure why. But also not giving an option for it, if you must use a crappy, unrealistic preset, smells.
This strains the eyes, and if endured long enough, induces head ache.
4) Hints interrupt gameplay flow like punching you in the face, every few seconds! I didn't find an option to disable them.
5) Linearity
The gameplay feels mindnumblingly linear. It's basically like if you're watching a video, where you have to press some knobs all the time to make the sequence go on. A video with very bad camera work, that is.
(I played only about half an hour, maybe this changes at some point? I doubt it. Would try longer if it weren't for the other annoyances.)
Can't get it past the first loading screen. Managed to once but it crashed after two seconds of gameplay. The standard version won't work either. Ah well, it was only five bucks.
