No one can complain about the fighting animation however. It is fluid and beautiful to watch, even if you strip off the amazing eye candy effects, Kinoko moves realistically and beautifully, as do her opponents. First rate all the way. Sound effects are well done. The weapons all have convincing, if sometimes pretty standard first person shooter style, sound effects.
Ambient sounds are rather on the rare side though.
Music is used sparingly in mission, but the rocking techno beat of the menu system was pretty catchy. I could swear I've heard it before, but I couldn't place the tune. The Verdict Ultimately Oni is an enjoyable, if sometimes irritating, third person action game. It dares to do something a little different and for the most part succeeds. Enough niggling details aren't nailed down that it remains merely a good game, not a great one, but if you like action fighting games by all means give it a try.
