At school we were told to stay away from odd strangers.

The PS vita is fast becoming my console of choice for older games, not only can you get all the ps1 res evil games on it you can now get classic xbox games as well!

First on the list for me to download was the overlooked classic  "Oddworld, Strangers Wrath HD".



The controls suit the vita really well as xbox games used twin analogue sticks the same as the vita does, the lack of shoulder buttons is made up for with touch screen commands that work surprisingly well (i'm not a fan of touch screen as yet finger prints all over the device while you play) and the game controls feel natural.

The game is from back when the xbox was in it's prime so the visuals have had an overhaul and look very crisp and the colours are bright and striking.

As the res has been upped and the draw distance has been improved on the original it looks fantastic and the living ammo for your crossbow looks crazier than it did the first time round!

It says something about modern shooters on the vita when a 10 year old game can show them up for the hollow and bland run and guns they are.

Strangers wrath is a classic that's been polished and tweaked for the modern age, lets hope that some other Xbox titles are given the same treatment. "Brute force" anyone?  or maybe "mace griffin"?

Comment with your xbox titles to be upgraded.
