A while back a game called ONI was released on the Playstation 2, after the screenshots and curious build towards it’s release I was puzzled why people dismissed it due to the basic graphics and large environments, PSW said it “had some of the best combat elements around nesting on a grey pillow, on a grey bed in a grey room" yet somehow a hyped game such as Tomb Raider suffered the same problem (only worse) and got away with it no questions asked!!!!!
People's views and comments on the game made me unsure whether to buy it so to satisfy my curiosity I settled just to rent it and It's rare these days when you start playing a game and instantly start enjoying it. The gameplay is a mix of your usual puzzle solving, stealth and kicking the ultimate C**P out of enemies and altogether oni is one GREAT game. It's made by Rockstar and I hear some of the developers who worked on oni also worked on halo, now that’s got your attention hasn't it ;-)
This game has grown on me loads since I first played it and the reason of this topic is to advise you if you want it to get it soon, Special Reserve don’t sell the PS2 version anymore and neither do many retailers, In fact the only place your guaranteed to pick up a copy is at your nearest ASDA for as little as £15. There’s nothing more depressing than missing your opportunity to pick up a wanted title and finding it's stopped production which by the looks of things aint far off here :-(
I highly recommend oni and think it’s one of the most underrated games I’ve ever come across but unfortunately won't be on sale forever and you can't go wrong for £15. For more Info check out the PC version which Special Reserve still stock and yes all the moves in the awesome video clip are possible ingame :-)

The game is excellent until you get onto the later levels and then you will be cursing that you ever got the game, i have recently traded it in so i can pre-order MGS2, don't bother with the game, you will soon get bored of it despite the sheer size of the levels and the ok graphics. The controls are figity too at first but it is worth a look but not a buy!
