As for owning all the Oddworld games, I certainly do. I'd also have to say that, of all the games I own that were released after 1995, I play my Oddworld games the most. Hell, I even own Munch's Oddysee and Stranger's Wrath, but I don't own an xBox! (**** Microsoft)
As for replay value, xBox multiplayer in Oddworld is stupid, useless, and unnecessary.
What OWI should have done was make the games two player optional just like the PSX games were. In Munch's Oddysee, you especially could have had the additional option of one player controlling Abe while the other controls Munch. The lack of option is just annoying. As for Stranger's Wrath, I'm extremely glad it doesn't have any of that multiplayer first person shooter crap. It's not about blowing up your friends with weapons, it's about getting thru the story of the world that OWI is offering you.
Actually, games used to always have multiplayer options (unless they were RPG's, usually) until multiplayer option died down in the late nineties when cookie-cutter 3D gaming took suffocated the value storyline and gameplay.
Games should be multiplayer (at least two player) to at very least offer the option of playing together instead of isolating people from one another... The old way though... xBand can suck Slig sausage.
Note: My girlfriend admits that if she could play as Munch while I played as Abe in Munch's Oddysee, she'd be more excited about playing the game.

i'm talking about online play.
and most games that were worth what you paid for them back then didn't even have two player.[commodore/NES days. even most SNES, aside from a few two-players.]
also, i bought Munch's Oddysee a few days ago, even though i do not own an xbox.
