Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath is an awesome shooter. Again, likely an error on Steam's part, but just thought I would mention it. I KNOW I was playing on Normal, but Steam gave me the achievement for Easy. This could just be Steam not optimizing this game enough, but it's still frustrating having to close the game, re-open, reload, and retry everything again. If you die and hit try again, the client crashes. Most of these things are not game breaking, but two of which annoyed me. However, there are some buggy things about this game, at least for the PC port. Should he get hurt by other means, he can just shake off the pain and bullets stuck in his skin. So long as the bottom is visible, Stranger cannot die from free falling. As for things that can kill you, falling isn't one of them. You run a lot faster when you aren't holding a crossbow in front of your face. The game allows you to swap to a third person perspective for easier movement. You don't have to play in first-person mode the entire time. Those little feathered cowards run indoors and open fire! Eventually they forgive you and come back outside, but if they didn't carry extra Moolah on them, I wouldn't mess with them anyway. I just run into one of them, (charging at full force I might add), send him flying across the town and the whole place is just gathered around me yelling things like "Now cut that out, ya crazy varmit!" or "Settle down now, ya stinky turd!" Only one risk comes with messing with the Clackerz (as they are so called) and that is dealing with a gun turret that continuously fires until you get out of their range. They just act so rude, especially if you attack them. Trust me, I am surrounded by them! The things these anthropomorphic chickens say are downright hilarious. Being from Arkansas, I can say their accents and vocabulary are quite accurate to that of a redneck. Now shooting is fun and all, but the more memorable moments of the game are the NPCs. To get in the most Moolah (yes, that is the currency), the best method is to trap or incapacitate your foes and then bag them. I would use the Upgraded Stunkz to suck enemies into a spot and immediately fire Boombats to make them all explode! There was blood, spit, and ass everywhere in this game! Killing an outlaw or bounty target isn't preferred because you make less money this way. This allows for combination of certain critters such as Stunkz and Boombats. Each ammo servers a unique purpose such as Chipmunks attract enemies and Bolamites are used to entangle outlaws so you can bag'em up real good! Your primary weapon is a crossbow that fires two types of ammo at a time. You shoot out critters such as Bolamites or Sparkflies. You are not firing bullets or rockets or special darts. This medical condition of his isn't revealed until a crucial part of the game, so in the meantime you just run around and shoot stuff with non-traditional ammunition. Stranger is on a mission to collect bounties and cash them in so he can pay for a mysterious surgical procedure. This is one of the greatest shooters I have experienced.
