Oni PS2
Product Description
Although it’s somewhat rough around the edges, Oni is an innovative third-person action-adventure title that won’t disappoint hard-core gamers. Set in the cyberpunk future of 2032, the Japanese anime-influenced Oni casts players as Konoko, a spunky government agent on a mission to bust up a criminal organization known as the Syndicate.
While the game’s free-roaming 3-D environments may not be much to look at–they’re understated to the point of seeming bland or unfinished–Oni’s real beauty is in its mix of hand-to-hand and weapons-based combat. The game’s characters have their own distinct fighting moves and can disarm their opponents, making the arsenal of available weapons honest game. Admittedly, the controls (which utilize everything but the L3 button) are quite a handful and take a lot of getting used to, but the payoff is quite a kick.
Those who are easily frustrated should be warned that the action in Oni is quick and furious, and it’s simple to get killed again and again at times–with each death followed by an annoyingly slow reload time. This is especially right when fighting multiple opponents who have the advantage of not being distracted by disorienting camera angles. –Joe Hon
