Lorne Lanning and his gang at Oddworld Inhabitants have been creating Oddworld games since 1997, when Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee launched on PlayStation. Their latest offering, the Xbox-exclusive Oddworld Stranger's Wrath, has already been featured in a Discovery Channel documentary on Microsoft and has switched giant publishers from Microsoft to Electronic Arts. But the original vision for the action-oriented game, which allows players to switch between first-person and third-person perspectives, has remained intact over the years.
The game is coming along nicely, both in terms of the graphical look of a Western and the deep gameplay. There is also plenty of Oddworld's quirky humor, which is established both through dialogue and situations, as well as ammo. In the game, you can shoot skunks and other living creatures to take out your enemies. As you travel from town to town, you'll learn of new missions from townspeople called clakkerz, who are basically chicken people. There are 5,000 lines of dialogue to propel the story and give the game a true sense of interactive entertainment.
