So is ONI worth a crap or what?

I played the PC demo and liked it, but what\'s the replayability and is it worth $50?

Buy Star Wars Starfighter
or Rayman 2 instead

I HAVE ONI AND I THINK ITS A GREAT GAME, A GRIP OF PEOPLE CANT HACK THE CONTROLS OR SOMETHING AND GIVE UP DURING THE FIRST HOUR, I AM ON LEVEL 9 OR OSMETHUING AND ITS REALLY GOOD! "opps capslock lol " anyways i like the story line, its really interesting, people think its hard but coem on everyone needs a chalenge, its holding me over till march star wars fighter hasnt come out yet, i also have rayman2 but that kinda childish, im not saying its a bad game, its great, i just think oni has gotten some really bad reviews, rent it and give it a try, dont think about what all the ratings say and enjoy the game for what it is, im seriouse its not bad at all.

yea personally i am am one of those people that you mentioned unknown

just don\'t have the time to get used to the controls, but a lot of people have liked it - my neighbor has it for mac and is addicted to it

it is all about patience - do u want to sit for hours on end until you get use to the controls - if so go for it and buy the game - just not my cup of tea

welli wouldnt go to that extent, the controls take as long to leanr as you want to, it took me all toether like an hour to really get a hang of the controls ajnd once you do, its smooth sailing

Yeah I was one of those people who when I first played the PC version was like, "this sucks" but when I rented  the PS2 version and started to get into it and getting a hang of the controls it really wasn\'t that bad.

yeah, its really cool.

the pc demowas totall crap! the textures and such where horrible. The gamelpay is boring and repetetive. The gamepaly is made up of opening doors/finding keys or computer terminals to open up another door to antother boring badly textured room. The level design is some of the worst ever in a game!!

i rented the game and guess what.......... it has a big circle and freezes when it trys to load the starting screen for the game.

oh anf from now on i will always check the disc befor i leave.

Well, I rented it today, I got the controls down ok...

The gameplay is OK... but the graphics are pretty bleh.  I also don\'t ever like the idea of non-Japanese working on anime-related things... makes me feel ill for some reason. (like Shogo)

Well I certainly agree with you there, American animation is crap.

I rented it from Blockbuster, and I\'ve been playing it for about two days, it\'s a decent game, not too great not too bad. The control scheme is very complex and it\'ll take several hours to get used to it but when you do it can be a lot of fun - the dynamics of the fighting are very cool and it\'s not limited to just simple punch and kick.

But I think the game has three main problems;

i)The difficulty - I\'m playing on the medium difficulty level and sometimes this game can be a real *****, there really needs to be more Hypo health powerups around the levels than there already are. The gameplay also might have been helped if they put in target camera lock - like in Zelda, that way you don\'t have to keep swinging the bloody camera around to follow your opponent(s) when they move away from you.

ii)The gameplay gets a little repetitive, as you simply follow the radar, hit switch A, door A opens, go through and hit switch B, door B opens etc.

iii)Slowdown, on the later levels if you decide to go in guns blazing there\'s some serious slowdown when there are four people on screen at once - especially when one or more are shooting at you.

All in all it\'s a decent game, I\'d recomend renting it and trying it out - it has it\'s moments and I happen to like the Americanized-anime style. I got a three day rental and I don\'t think I\'ll be able to finish it, but I\'ll keep the save files on my memory card and perhaps rent it another day.

Decent, but not spectacular. I want spectacular.
