  Oni (computer game) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Oni is a third-person action game developed by Bungie West, a division of Bungie Studios (now part of Microsoft), and released in 2000.
Oni is inspired by Masamune Shirow's manga and anime, Ghost in the Shell.
Offically confirmed to be set in 2032 by Bungie.net's Oni FAQ, although this is still debated due to how tightly the events of Oni would have been packed together, and that the FAQ went up during the Bungie/Microsoft take over.

Details on what Oni will demand as far as the hardware you'll need are sketchy (and I haven't got the box in my hand yet to check on that), but you will definitely require a G3 processor and somewhere around 120 MB of RAM.

 PC VIDEO GAME REVIEWS... Oni for Mac __________|
Here was a game that I'd been looking forward to for the better part of a year, only to find that it fell short on the big, bad PS2.
Oni works as an action game, but the adventure tag may be stretching things a little too far.
But, as much fun as the first 1/3 of the game provides, hanging around until the credits roll doesn't feel that appealing when each level starts feeling too much like the one before it and fist-fighting your way to the next save point is more work than fun.

 Oni - Review - "Does your blood boil when you kill?"
ONI is a fully third-person 3D Computer Game involving hand-to-hand combat and a wide variety of weaponary played across thirteen different urban environments designed by professional architects.
ONI was never designed to be too much of a shooting game, though that doesn't stop Syndicate Operatives from grabbing your recently dropped gun and wasting you with it.
ONI is a game which is loved and loathed by different people in equal measure, although the critical reviews I've read tend to be the more pooRly $pe11ed wunz.

 Game Revolution Playstation 2 Review Page - Game Revolution   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
Oni makes up for the absence of a coherent storyline with the addition of a nifty little objective proximity icon at the bottom of the screen.
Spaces within the game are unfurnished and barren, primarily the sterile-corridors-with-crates motif which the gaming industry seems so resistant to making a departure from.
Waiting for this game to load is flat out brutal, considering this is the next-generation system that boasts speedier load times when compared to it's predecessor.

 Science Fiction Game Reviews
Now it is 2001, and Oni, with its feisty, anime-inspired heroine, Konoko, is finally in stores, but by now several games have already made it to market with protagonists who deal death either down the barrel of a gun or fighting hand to hand.
When she is fighting one thug and another is shooting her, or if she is fighting two thugs and the thug on the next level is shooting his machine pistol at her (and always hitting her; thugs are all expert marksmen, apparently), then it is not so fun.
The game is fun, but it is a lot of running around trying to figure out what switch Konoko is supposed to throw or which door the player didn't see the first time through the map.

 GameOver - Oni (c) Gathering of Developers / Bungie
The game is similar in ways to meeting a hot girl at a dance club.
It's unfortunate that no blunt weapons are introduced in Oni, but the hand-to-hand combat is absolutely stellar and the long-range weapons do a good enough job to last you through the game.
Oni automatically saves your game at certain points of a mission, but there's no way to save your progress whenever you want to.

 GameSurge - Computer Game Preview - Oni
And Oni has all the requisite anime elements; the over the top action, a ponderous if somewhat simple story, and a strong female lead mark for a fun romp.
Of course, when making a game with as much hardcore action as Oni, one most not forget the environment itself.
Hopefully, Oni will be more like Jackie Chan using everything to his advantage than Final Fight, where grabbing a chair and bashing people with it is law.

 IGN: Oni Review
Oni is by no means a revolutionary or ground breaking title, borrowing heavily from console games like Final Fight or Sega's Die Hard, but it is a very good title and screams of high production quality from the opening sequence to the finale.
Game play is a combination of shoot 'em up action and hand to hand combat.
The often quoted hallmark of a good game is "easy to learn, difficult to master" and that is pretty true of Oni's game play.

 Oni Review - PC
Oni, from Bungie and Gathering of Developers is a wonderfully animated third-person program that combines elements of role-playing with spirited combat and puzzles to give players a ride they won't soon forget.
Oni may be on the violent side, but it is pure cartoon violence.
The game boards, for each mission, are large, finely detailed and the only interruption in the flow of a game is when you hit a point that treats the player to a cutscene.

Oni is one of the latest titles from Bungie Software and Gathering of Developers, respected developers of computer games and this time out, they’ve created something both original and innovative.
Set in the year 2032, Oni gives us glimpse into a nearly utopian future, where the world is controlled by a single government and people live in great mega-cities across the globe.
In a way, this is also one of the strongest drawbacks to the game, as it certainly seems like most of the enemies know a lot more about fighting than you do, especially when it comes to using firearms.

Of course, in an action game such as this, there is an arsenal of moves you can employ on your enemies, making for some cool John Woo-esque moves as you shoot a guy at your left while kicking the face off the guy on your right with acrobatic ease.
