Description of Oni Windows

Read Full Review

Approximately three years ago, game developers realized that the unexpected success of the Tomb Raider series could be combined with the action of the console hit Goldeneye to create a new genre of game - the third-person action game. This new genre promised to take the tired first-person games into new territories. Developers envisioned John Woo two-fisted shooting with Jackie Chan jumps and rolls, all made possible through the use of a third-person perspective. Thus, Oni was conceived and born to bridge the gap between action and adventure.

What Don't You Know Already?

Oni features a futuristic cop named Konoko - you know that already. You won't know that she is supposed to single-handedly defeat the evil forces of chaos and destruction.. unless you've ever played computer games before. You also won't know that she runs around warehouses stacked full of crates for the better part of the game.. unless you've played the demo. You probably know that Oni is inspired by Japanese anime-style artwork. What you don't know is that there is only one cut-scene in the whole game that pays tribute to this. You also won't know how terribly tedious this game becomes in the later parts.

It is important to inform you up-front that Oni doesn't allow the player to save the game in progress. Instead, Oni notifies you that it has saved the game at various pre-determined points. On the plus side, you won't have to worry about forgetting to save your game. On the downside, the entirety of the game implodes because of this deliberate design flaw. The developers have chosen to build a game that relies too much on the console model rather than take advantage of the unique features of the PC; this is important because the rest of the game is irrevocably tainted by this design paradigm, as you will soon understand.

The most innovative feature of Oni is undoubtedly the hand-to-hand combat system. The third-person perspective allows the player to battle enemies with fluidity and grace. It's almost like playing Street Fighter from a Tomb Raider-esque perspective in that you can execute Hollywood style punches, kicks and throws with relative ease. In that respect, this is one truly innovative game.

In keeping with console-style thinking, however, Bungie failed to include any method for players to configure the keyboard or mouse controls. Sure, Bungie included a default WASD layout for right-handed players and even a left-handed layout, but they didn't take into account that PC players have grown accustomed to picking their own keyboard layouts. Those players are forced to come kicking and screaming to the keyboard configuration that Bungie has vainly declared standard. (OK, you can modify your keyboard layout by tweaking an undocumented configuration file in the install directory. Even this doesn't allow the player to adjust mouse sensitivity.)

This hand-to-hand combat innovation comes at a price. The game obviously showcases Konoko's advanced martial arts skills at the expense of other more traditional perks, such as cool weapons. New combat moves occasionally become available, so as you progress through the game, Konoko becomes more lethal. New combination attacks make Konoko more fun to watch and to play. Of course, if you are just now learning to use the WASD layout, these new moves may not be that easy to learn. Even players that practice these moves won't always find them useful. In later levels, when surrounded by four thugs and one on the rafters shooting at you, there is little time to execute any combination move or throw an opponent. That leaves only two choices: click the mouse with all the fury in your fingers or pull out a gun.

To be quite honest, you're better off without a gun. At least, that's what Bungie has decided. This is the first game that actually encourages players to ignore guns and other ranged weapons in favor of the less efficient five punches, three kicks and a jumping stomp. It appears there was one mandate when the level designers went to work: no ammo; no health; no guns. Compared with the very fun Heavy Metal: FAKK2, which allowed two-fisted gunfights and a variety of cool weapons, Oni features only two useful guns - the basic, inaccurate machine pistol and the rocket-launcher-like plasma rifle. The machine pistol is quite good for taking out a bad guy at close range but only holds enough ammo for one kill. The plasma rifle is quite difficult to use against moving targets but compensates with an extended range. Sadly, it too holds only enough ammunition for a single kill.

Though ammunition can be found on each level, only the stingiest of players could ever hoard more than two clips of spare ammo and energy cells. And frustrations are further compounded by the fact that Konoko is limited to carrying only one weapon! If you find an energy weapon, Konoko must discard the pistol to pick up the other weapon. Faced with the dilemma of two empty weapons, which one do you choose to carry with you? Let's say you pick the pistol. You run into the next room and find an energy cell. You run back to where you were to exchange the pistol for the plasma rifle only to discover that the rifle has melted into oblivion. Do you get the hint yet? They don't want you shooting at anything. This decision reaches darkly comical proportions when you finally find an incredibly cool weapon, such as the sniper rifle, only to discover it takes an entire energy cell for only two shots. Before long you'll adapt your thinking and charge headlong into battle armed with nothing more than your wits. You'll also find yourself sorely missing Quake and Unreal and their wealth of weapon choices.

Though this isn't much of a hindrance during the early stages of the game, it becomes a critical flaw later on. Keep in mind that you can't save the game. Now add the fact that sometimes you can't complete a level unless you die. That's right - you need to die and restart to finish the level. I found two broken levels that couldn't be completed until I restarted. The first game that punishes you for not dying.

Heck, for that matter, the game punishes you for finishing a level. Even if you hoard your hypos (health packs) and your ammunition, it is all taken away from you when you start a new level. They send poor Konoko to take on a platoon of bad guys but don't even bother to give her a gun, ammunition, a hypo or even a force shield - even though I finished the previous level relatively quite well equipped. I played by their rules and fought with my fists instead of my gun. I stealthily avoided confrontation when possible to conserve my hypos and health and then had all of it taken away from me.

In the later parts of the game - the parts that may take 20-30 minutes to complete (without a save game feature), you will face up to five thugs at once. This wouldn't be so bad if you could take out two or three from a distance, or even if you could whip out the pistol and shoot your way through a tough area. Combine this impossible situation with the fact that you'll probably have to replay this level 5-10 times and the game suddenly doesn't seem like that much fun.

Considering all the work that went into the game engine, the level design appears rather elementary. If you've played the demo, then you've seen a typical level - sparse, barren, boring and square. I haven't seen this many right angles since Doom. The levels are among the least memorable of any action game in the past couple of years. Compared with Heavy Metal: FAKK2, Tomb Raider and Quake III, these levels don't come across as the work of paid professionals. The entire game -- yes, the entire game -- consists of running from room to room looking for a computer to unlock the next door. No inventive or ingenious solutions such as flooding a room and swimming out a ventilation shaft or jumping on a conveyer belt to take a
