Tilting to the side to get a more 2D side-scrolling-esque view doesn’t do any good because it just spins around anyway. The camera is a bit unwieldy even with customized axises. Shooting and the variety of first-person combat is where the game shines, but it falters a bit with platforming. They’re harder to get, but more rewarding. If you’ve got the right critters in your crosshairs, you can set a trap for enemies and still get a kill that requires a bit more forethought. Sure, it’s tempting to just shoot enemies with it, but there’s more finesse to be had here. Ammo can be mixed and matched in a variety of ways.

While Stranger’s Wrath doesn’t have dual-wielding, each barrel can shoot a different kind of ammo - so you get the similar “one side does one thing and the other does something different” effect. Instead, little critters are killed around town or stunned and socked them on the double-barreled crossbow. Unlike every other FPS on the market even today, ammo isn’t bullet-based.

In order to accomplish your goals, you’ll have to either punch them out in third person with a tornado spin punch or get into the first-person viewpoint with the right stick and slug at them or shoot them with ammo. Bringing them in alive nets more money, but sometimes that isn’t an option. Instead of starring as a bizarre green creature solving puzzles, you’re Stranger - a kick-ass bounty hunter with a thirst for money and a love for bringing in bounties for a hefty price. This arrangement resulted in Munch’s Oddysee being a launch highlight for the platform, while Oddworld: Stranger’s Wrath took things in a bold direction. Before the release of Munch’s Oddysee, however, it was revealed that all Oddworld games would be Xbox exclusives for consoles thanks to its superior horsepower.

The Oddworld series was a highlight of the PlayStation 1 and its move to the PlayStation 2 seemed like a foregone conclusion.
