Stranger's Wrath: X360 Compatible?

Crustacean Freak · #1 08-08-2007, 09:32 PM

Hello all! It's been over a year since I last signed in (July 16, 2006!) but I got a 360 for Christmas and have thoroughly enjoyed playing on it (Gears of War, Lost Planet, etc...)

Anyways, I know that Stranger's Wrath was released on the original Xbox in 2005, but I'm not sure if it works on the 360. I ask because I do not own an original Xbox, hence why I've never played Munch's Oddysee or Stranger's Wrath. Does anyone know if it'll work? I don't want to buy it and end up not being able to play.

Only Munch's Oddysee is backwards compatible with the Xbox 360.

Alcar...

Ouch! Well, thanks for the information anyways, Alcar. Bit of a disappointment. Too bad the PS2 version fell out of development.

The game works but the sound dosen't you can hear the music and cutt seen sounds but sounds such as speech and effects don't work. appart from that. Everything else is fine.

You're right! If MGS3, with all that grapichs, can run in the PS2... why OWS can't? Hard to port it? Well, for me the PS2 can handle a game loke OWS... with a lower grapich than the Xbox, of course!

Here we go with a Sony fanboy.

Ha, that made me laugh.

I've heard the MO version for the 360 is really bad and has some sound issues. A better update should be along soon with SW straight after.

I'm betting Microsoft paid good money to keep Stranger's Wrath on the X-Box. That's just my guess though.

No. EA, Stranger's publisher, canceled the PS2 port.

Ah well, it took me years to get hold of an Xbox, so why can't other people? It should be cheaper now.

Doesn't sound like the EA I know. They want money, and the best way to do that is to release a game on as many platforms as possible. Thus my theory of money exchanging hands still stands, and I have always had a feeling it was EA who took it.

Sticking with the PS2 port would have greatly delayed the game, and the timing of a game’s release is important. Frankly, I think they made the wrong decision for numerous reasons, but I don’t suspect any kind of backhanders determined this.
