I have just installed and started playing Oni and love it! If you are a fan of fighting games like Tekken or Virtua Fighter and a fan of games like Tomb Raider, then this blend is a match for you. While the graphics are somewhat average for a game of this type, the animations make up for it. All of the moves you can perform are handled in a lifelike smooth fashion which really adds to the playability.

The story is nothing super, but fun and worth going through. Mind you I have not gotten far into it yet.

I have encountered no bugs yet other than a little clipping here and there. The install seems to want you to install an OpenGL driver, however, I did not and it still plays fine on my system. As a side note I am playing on a Inspirion 5000e laptop with Windows 2000.

Best game ever, however easy

Oni is by far the best game i have played in my life. I disagree with the fact that it has a bad saving system, and the fact that it is difficult. I have already beaten the game, and i'm telling you i am super impressed with the quality of the plot and the gameplay. However the final boss (konoko's brother) is a little easy, i beat him on the second try.

This game is a must for all gamers.

Superb Action/Adventure Game

Oni is an extremely fun anime style action/adventure game featuring great music, colorful graphics, amusing dialog/sound effects, and the ability to fight martial arts style or with futuristic weapons. Stealth and agility are useful in this game, as well as good aim and strategy. Highly recommended!

Oni rocks...

One of the best games of this type I played in the last years. If you're into Anime this is a PC game you should have played. There's not much searching or puzzling to do (you get a compass of where you should go to) and the game is linear, it's a more "brains-to-zero-lets-kick-[them]" game with a great combat system.

Granted the backgrounds are not as detailed as could be but the game is very atmospheric and playable.

On the downside, there's no multiplayer. There will be no ONI II or derivatives as the company stopped producing games.

Excellent graphics and fighting skills :-)

You will never get bored with Oni, because it offered lot more fun than you just expected from the rest of the action games.

Comparing with NOLF, No One Live Forever, it has multiplayers accessed on its game server, but Oni is a single player pc game without having NOLF's online features. NOLF and Oni were my most favorite pc games in the year of 2001.

Oni is composed of 14 major levels with excellent graphics and music design. The game level modes are easy, normal, hard. Recently, I finished with all 14 levels and got a cheatcode at the last level ending. I would like to share it with all the Oni fans in here.

Press: F1, Type: shapeshifter, you will see, "Character Changed Enable." Press: ESC, Then Press: F8 repeatly to pick your most favorite fighter during the game.

There were more than 30 characters on this game. They were powerful bad guys, strong security agents and civillians. Each types of these characters had different sets of fighting skills. Here I am not talking about the skills of using powerful weapons, instead, I meant their powerful "Jet Li" kinds of fatal martial moves...I don't think I need to describe them even further.

You look like you are ready to rock the Oni world now. Have fun :-)

man, One playing and YOUR HOOKED

i LOVE this game. It has got to be one of my favorite games i have ever played. The PC or MAC versions are much better than the PS2's. If you want to play this game, a two button mouse is a MUST HAVE. This game has superb graphics, amazing gameplay, and it is very immersive. The only thing wrong is the bad graphics in the cut scenes. They are just the ingame character models. I highly enjoyed this game. I played the demo and was hooked in 15 minutes. I highly reccomend this game to any person who likes fighters. Imaging Street Fighter or Tekken, just put into a third person game. That is what this is.

the Action packed game you want!!!

When I first played this game was at a friends house and I was really impressed by the graphics and the game itself. In the beginning you get to train, this is really usefull because if you don't train you will never know some really important info. This game reminded me a lot of TOMB RAIDER because of the girl, but after playing for half an hour there weren't any similarities left between TOMB RAIDER and ONI. The girl in ONI fights the bad guys with martal art while in TOMB RAIDER it is all about guns.

In ONI you are most of the time in buildings killing the bad guys. But the game is not about killing the bad guys the whole time. It is about finding out about your past. And to get there Konoko (the ONI girl) has to fight all the different kind of bad guys (in blue, red, brown, armored, suicide bombers that kind of bad guys) change outfits (from police uniform to regular jeans)open some doors, hijack some cars, rescue some civilians, learns new moves (backbreaker very powerful but very hard to perform, Devil Spin Kick and my favorite the "Neck Breaker")and kill some even bigger bad guys (Barbadus,"Ninja"). And in the end you get to know who you really are and who you really can trust.

And all that combined with a lot of good graphics. But that is not very surprising if you knew who the people were who made this game. They are the people who are right now making the most promising and original game of many years... HALO!!!

for more info go to the ONI website or the Bungie website. any comments, questions, suggestions e-mail me.

One of The Best Games Ever Made

Oni, is one of the best games ever made. It combines revolutionary hand-to-hand combat and 3rd person shooting. Oni has is just challenging enough that it makes you work for the next stage in the game. But not so challenging that you will never beat it. I would recommend this game to anyone. It has a great arsenal of weapons, but my favorite is the martial arts combat. This game is absolutely fantastic. No question, BUY IT!!!

This game rocks!!!!!!!!

I have just finished playing NOLF, and this was a wild change. Getting in up and close is way cool. When you go back to the other games you feel like you are hamstrung. Its takes a bot of learning, but soon, which surprised me, I was doing some amazing moves with ease. Some complain about the utalitarian terrain, but for such a fast game I think it is a necessity. Now...this game is the first game in 20 years of gaming that a resorted to cheating. The cheat Elderscroll allows you to regenerate slowly. I thought this was acceptable to counter the inability to save. Five thumbs up. And a backflip. And a round the house kick...go for it.
