Oni is the one Bungie game I have yet to play (well, other than Gnop and O:DS) and I am having some problems finding a Mac demo of it. Does anyone know where one might be available?

I have tried macgamefiles.com; their link is to fileplanet.com and for some reason I cant get the download to start.

Thanks, if anyone can help me out...

By the way, is the PC version of Oni at the Bungie Store Mac compatible?

Meh. I wouldn't go near Oni within a ten-mile radius. It's an interesting idea, yes, but it is not the kind of game that I would like to play. Nothing like Halo- more like Blizzard's Ghost.

I don't agree with Lunous on this one. Oni isn't Bungie's best, but it's awesome. You'll need a fileplanet membership though.

Damn, Fileplanet is the only place to get the demo?

Sure, it isn't Bungie's best, but I'm jaded by some games that I've stumbled across. It's like the base that Blizzard made Ghost out of- and I don't see a very good storyline or, for that matter, GRAPHICS. My eyes are still in pain from the graphics of the preview...
Tell me why it's awesome Lt Devon... I'd love to know.

It was a cool game. It had good graphics, a good story, Konoko is hot, the gameplay ruled, the control scheme was one of the best i've ever seen, it has terminals, and most of all, it was made by Bungie. For saying it sucks, you speak heresy!

It was original. It was different. I felt very immersed in the evnironments. They were sparse, but sparse in a utilitarian way. I felt the graphics were good, though the lighting could've been better. The animation is spectacular. The gameplay is awesome. The mesh between hand to hand and gun is perfect. You had different combo's, you could block, perform throws, -and god!- disarming was the coolest thing ever. Think Jackie Chan in Rush Hour taking handguns and pointing towards your assailant.

Whoa, whoa...stay focused, guys.

The Demo. Where can I find the demo?
Or failing that, is the version from the Bungie Store Mac compatible?

Nope. B.net store sells PC version and PS2 version. They did not go hybrid disk that time. url=http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/stores/offering/list /-/B00004ZB7O/all/qid=1090046285/sr=8-3/ref=xs_ap_bun3_xgl63_ a/102-4669887-2967360]If you want a $70 Oni you can get it here.[/url] I must admit i'm suprised(read horrified) at how hard it is to obtain a copy, demo or otherwise,of this game!
