    The combat in the game can be a blast at times, but the awkward control and super precision of the enemies often makes it more difficult than it needs to be.

    Oni looks bad, sounds bad, and plays even worse -- all of the anticipation for this game is left unfulfilled.

    In the end, the game feels half-rushed. If multiplayer mode existed and the levels were smaller and better elaborated, score for this game could've raised straight to heaven.    … Full Review »
