Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath (2005)
amazing
Stranger's Wrath is easily one of the best games I have ever played. The story and pre-rendered cut scenes are amazing. Oddworld games are known for their great storytelling and memorable characters, and this game is no exception.
Where this game differs from the previous Oddworld games is the gameplay. Previous games were nearly pure plat-formers, but Stranger's Wrath is more of an action/shooter.
The ability to switch between 1st and 3rd person perspectives is perfect. I love running around in third person like a classic action adventure game... as soon as I spot danger and I can instantly zoom into first person and voilà, the game suddenly becomes a 1st person shooter. The feeling is amazing.
Incredibly immersing, wonderful story, voice acting, characters, level design, everything.
I rank this game up there with Halo and Ninja Gaiden, also xbox exclusives, a 3 of the very few games that I actually go back to time and time again.
