Boring game

I have almost played all the playstation games that exist. Let me tell you. Oni is nothing like Metal gear solid or some other good games. It's boring! period! And, not to mention the controls. It took me sometime to learn how to control the her movements and I still don't like it. I bought it thinking how bad can it gets since most Electronic bontique ran out of this game. Boy, was I wrong. don't waste your money buying this game.

It ain't woth that one star.

Oni is a completely worthless game. The graphics blow: they would have been AVERAGE on the PSX. Same with the sound. The gameplay is boring and predictable. The game physics suck, and the controls,"ooohh," don't get me started on the controls. Not only can whats-her-face do too much, which IS a bad thing, there are seperet controls for the same thing;i.e. press X to "use" and R3 to pick things up. But what can you expect from Take2Interactive. The only good games they've made they don't get any visible credit for,( Max Payne and Grand Theft Auto III,) what a shock.
I summed up this entire review from five minute of play. And at the beginning of that third minute, I started realizing the opening anime cinema is the best part of the game.

BIG Dissapointment

This game is the worst console shooter I have ever played. The controls are the real problem. I died 12 times(no joke)on the first level just trying to aim and shoot at the same time. The gameplay consists of running preforming random video game tasks like "Open the locked doors" and "Stop the cargo truck". The graphics look like a bad PS game, and sound score is awful. Don't buy this game. Instead, buy MGS2.

Stupid!!!!!!!!!!!

This game sucks it is so difficult to control the character that they have to train you just how to control the way oni walks. what kind of [...] is that maybe others like that but I for one want to start the game not spend two hours in training rooms figuring out how to move that is crazy. I gave up after two hours of training and gave it back to my friend thank goodness I didn't waste money on this.

Thanks, Rockstar!

Rockstar, the developers of this awful game, sure have been pumping out the PS2 games. Smuggler's Run was fun and all, but this is just too bad. It fails in every way that a game can. The visuals are sub-par (PSOne games look 10x better than this), it controls like a cow, and the actual gameplay is repetitive and a chore to play. Not worth your time.

Oni, way to real

Oni is a very beautiful game with all its stage and caracters. However one may try to put how good the game is, it will be hard to prove so in practice. I am confident to say that I am quite a hard person to frustrate, but this game annoyed me so much I almost broke the controller. Its much too hard to get used to the controls(use all buttons) and to fight the opponents it is impossible. They always comes in bunchs and with weapons, which makes virtually to kill some of them! The weapons are one of the worst things in the game. It's so hard to aim and get the opponent that its not even funny. Plus, they always have the recoil, which can be said to make the game real, but only ... you off. I would strongly recommend you to rent this game before buying it, because I made the mistake of buying as soons as it came out and I can say that I WASTED MONEY ON THIS GAME! So if you wanna try it, go ahead, but do not buy it if you haven't played yet! You will regret!

More trouble than it's worth...

I thought this would be one of the coolest games out for the PS2 right now. And in some respects, that's true. However, as a seasoned veteran of game systems, this is probably the hardest game to control I have EVER played. It's a rare thing for me to get so angry at video game. DOn't let the fluidity of Konoko's motion to confuse the issue... You can't control her. It's difficult to get used to using both analog sticks top control movement, aim weapons, and look around. That coupled with too many enemies that attack in groups will frustrate you. It's really awful to be having your tail kicked and not be able to even find who's got their foot in you rear. I found Oni to be a complete frustrating waste of time and money.

Hands down the worst game I have ever played

Don't be fooled by the seemingly positive reviews that ... seems to give this game. The thing that realy does this game in is the extremly awkward controls. I'm sure they were trying to be inovative by coming up with a new way of doing things but in the end the game is supposed to be fun, and it isn't fun dying every 10 min because you couldn't accuratly turn around and hit the guy behind you. Add this in with a "been there, done that" storyline and you have a game you definetly can do without. This game is so bad that I rented it, only played for two days, forgot I had it and ended up having to pay the late fee when I didn't return it in time.

Not So Anime...

I was really looking forward to this one.. Quite different than I thought It would be. I Pictured a cartoon type atmosphere from the pics of reviews , only to realize they were shots from the opening movie sequence..

Dont get Me wrong the graphics are sharp, but there are 2 major factors to the game that i did not like..

Detail & Control

It does not have all that much detail. certain rooms are in desperate need of a window or something to look at.It falls short in this area, Some background graphics are blocked and not rounded in detail. Also when you stand on any object or platform near the edge you can see your feet are not on the platform.. for those of you who look at that sort of thing..

I am not a fan of tomb raider, This reminds Me of tomb raider alot.. long boring levels.. with no action..

I Must say I do not like the 4 contoller configurations they offer..

I Love the way the contol set up is on 007 on the N-64, And Medal of honor 1 & 2 on the p.s.x. Other companies should do that same format.

The control on oni is very hard to get used to, but it does take full advantage of the controller capabilities using the R-1 / R-3 Buttons...

Over all I would rent this if I were you , I am gonna sell mine on e-bay..
