I have often agreed with this.

i felt Stranger's Wrath as a setting had the Oddworld feel but as a game it lacked it. oddworld to me isn't a First Person Shooter. Munch's Oddysee, I enjoyed. It could have been doen better, no doubt, with nuances about Scrabs or Paramites. I also, like many, would have preferred the 1 hit system. Having said that, I did still heartily enjoy MO. Too bad my Xbox perma-crashed before I ever finished it.

If Mo were to be remade, it could be itneresting. I definitely want a return to the Quintology if a new game is produced. Stranger was probably a very good game (never played it), and the setting, though different, still suited Oddworld. It just never appealed to me due to the genre of game. I like FPSs, but not in Oddworld.

Much as MO could be reworked, I think Stranger could've been. Make it less of an FPS, and more of a semi adventure, semi stealth game, while retaining the old-school oddworld puzzle elements.
You really can't say much about Stranger's Wrath until you've actually played it. The two things that annoyed me about Stranger's Wrath were the Clakkerz and the tractors, considering it's Oddworld and tractors still looked exactly like tractors. Everything else was quality.
