An extremely addictive action fighting game with some very cool anime storytelling and martial arts that are wrapped in an otherwise superbly executed game that is one of the most fun and coolest games I've played in years.
-
Though viewed from the third-person perspective, this is still a terrific shooter game that dances on the fringes on a role-playing program. With its rich graphics, solid story and great audio, Oni is a sure-fire hit.
-
A very entertaining, exhilarating and challenging game for those who would rather star in an action movie than merely watch one.
-
Da GameboyzIf you can get past the learning curve then you will surely enjoy the game. Expect to be frustrated at first, especially because the moves are often hard to pull off.
-
Oni stuns the third-person action scene with a powerful uppercut to the jaw. Bungie has never put its hand to a bad product, and its latest offering is a passionate protest against dull games.
-
I count myself somewhere in the middle, acknowledging the innovations of Oni while also being aware of its inherent flaws.
-
Spank!Rock solid, all-action gameplay but misses out on a higher mark due to a few noticeable flaws.
-
The combination of gunplay and street fighting is something that has never been attempted before, and Bungie pulled it off beautifully.
-
With all the good aspects that Oni has it’s amazing that the action can get a bit "samey."
-
Daily RadarThe characters within the game are incredibly well detailed, but the world they're placed in is bland to the point of boredom.
-
GamePowerAfter three years in development and two years of hype and anticipation, Oni fails to meet the expectations Bungie created for it.
-
It could have been a contender but unfortunately, the lack of user-control saves and a multiplayer feature keep this fighter out of the championship ring.
-
The shoddiest, most poorly constructed, most flawed game that we have ever seen manage to be a Hit, although only by the outermost molecule of the skin of its teeth.
-
Manages to compensate for dull graphics, empty interiors, lack of a multiplayer mode and unfriendly saves with intense action and impressive enemy AI. The game is fun, challenging, and ultimately worth the frustration.
-
It certainly does do the major things that it promised to when it comes to creating a fast paced fighter, but doesn't really reach the godly state that everyone really hoped that it would.
