November 30, 2011 - Excellent - On its initial release, this wonderful piece of work was all but ditched at retail by a publisher that didn't seem to understand what it was dealing with. Now Stranger's Wrath has finally received the lavish treatment it deserves, and the gaming world has a chance to reclaim one of its brightest treasures.
January 4, 2012 - Excellent - [It] looks wonderful, with sharp new textures that really bring Oddworld Inhabitants' imaginative oddball world to life. Here's hoping that more gamers actually get to visit it this time around.
January 2, 2012 - Excellent - Some flaws still exist including some poor camera control problems reminiscent of the era when this was originally created, but in general this is a really impressive HD remake of an underrated, under played classic that deserves the attention - and something that other HD remakes could definitely stand to learn a thing or two from.

January 6, 2012 - Good - Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath HD is a fun, unique shooter that's available at a great price. A few glitches take the shine off, but this is still a delight.
December 21, 2011 - Good - Cut-scenes are still quality, but while levels buzz with colour, they do feel quite empty and corridor-like. Platforming is also perfectly fine, although having to constantly click R3 to enter first-person during combat is a chore. But Stranger's Wrath remains fantastic value. It's a great remake and a perfect fit for PS3 - the most sensible thing about this quirky gem.
January 3, 2012 - Good - Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath HD is an easy recommendation whether or not you've played it before - but especially if you haven't. Between its unique weapons, out-there world, and shocking late-game plot twist, there's a lot to really like even as it occasionally reminds you it's a 7-year-old game. They don't make 'em like this much anymore.
December 22, 2011 - Good - Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath is one of the more unique games to come out of the last generation. It may drag a bit at times and doesn't do shooting or platforming amazingly well, but it blends the genres together into an almost always fun romp.
