 Interesting game.. February 15, 2005

After being a recent convert(ee) to xbox games from a good few years PC ing I picked this up on the strength of the graphics on the back of the box(wow, 28 now, been playing games since about 7 years old on many consoles one day I will learn no? maybe). Anyway, slapped it in played for half an hour. Hmm..bored already. Quite amazing graphics though lovely atmospheric feel. Could use this graphics engine on a new tomb raider. Nice music. Extremely annoying repeating boss samples and womens voice with reverse reverb grating. Several weeks passed. Picked it up yesterday. I do like all the satisfying building destroying and their is a little (little) depth to the game. Actually started to enjoy it a little. Sum up: Beautiful graphics, lots of work have gone into graphics and sound. Shame the same amount of graft wasn't put into the gameplay. Their is no satisfaction in pulling off the umpteenth golden axe-esq combo. You seem to just wander through some of the demons like they are not their. Should you buy? Go on sod it. Its cheap now and if you persevere you will get something from it. A bit like 'classic' games of old with continual dying where you got slung back to the begining for making a silly mistaske or not finding something (ghosts and goblins, shinobi as mentioned, need I go on?)

Ok, So yes games like Shinobi were worth fumbling around in your pockets fishing for ten pences to at least get to level six or seven but don't be fooled by the shinobi-ish outlook to this game. This game is pretty and has great atmospherics though it lacks loads in gameplay. I played the game through 3 very entertaining button bashing levels and then realised that I could quite litterally fly through the levels by pressing two buttons repeatidly...hmmm fun. Then I got to the first boss.... ok after 15 mins of playing I didn't expect to go from...well, truly easy to impossibly frustrating and banging my head on the wall.As you can tell i'm not a fan, buy Worms3d instead, now that's a fun game.

I read in the paper today that the average age of video game players is 29. Is it any surprise with the number of "dancing" arcade games cropping up these days? Otogi is pure oldschool. The feeling I got a couple of years ago downloading MAME and playing the likes of Shinobi which way back I probably stuck enough ten peas into to buy an X-Box. Otogi is the next step... the sound of your impending demise, the frantic joystick fumbling until you know what you have to do. Put some more money in the slot. Makes you wonder how all those teens are going to catch up. Dance? BOGUS.
Excellent! September 16, 2003

The XBox gets it's own version of Devil May Cry. September 14, 2003

OtoGi is a handsome game. Well put together, with a grace and style that very few recent titles are able to match. But where it matters, in the gameplay, it is a shallow title with little more than repetitive combat which relies on button mashing and hoping that the errant camera doesn't hinder you too much.For those of you that have played Devil May Cry on the PS2, the structure of OtoGi is very (and I mean VERY) similar. That's no bad thing, given that DMC is one of the PS2s best titles, but it puts into context the "brave" decision of Sega to publish in the PAL region. Each stage is mission, with set objectives. Health and MP is replenished over time and by absorbing the spirits of defeated foes. You can upgrade abilities and weapons between stages, giving it a pseudo RPG schtick. And so on. On the whole, I would err towards recommending OtoGi. Mainly because there is nothing on the XBox like it. Just don't expect it to be the game of the year.
