What we're left with is a game that is certainly a bit of fun to mess around with even with its flaws and simple graphics. It's a great effort towards what could be a new breed of action game. The help menus are alright, but the cutscenes and scant options cast a shadow. 6.0 Graphics Boring, lifeless environments leave a lot to be desired although the animation for fighting and a few good character models save Oni from being ugly. No 3D sound to warn you of pending attacks from behind.
Some good fight sounds, music and voice overs make up for it.
The fight system is really a great idea but suffers from awkward controls sometimes. Unfortunately uninspired and repetitive levels keep this game from soaring to new heights. 7.5 Lasting Appeal Multiplayer would have made this game, but it didn't so we're left with a very linear single player game and a second run through will only appeal those who want Konoko to bear their children.
