Oni

Massive spending bankrupted poorer countries, and soon all traces of individual government disappeared.

For those who were poor, the situation didn't improved one bit, and for the richer, maintaining the status was done at the expense of their privacy and personal freedoms.

To make things worse, life outside the major cities, far from the atmosphere processors is nearly impossible, as the so-called "Wilderness Preserves" are poisoned, and those who venture into them risk a painful death.

Konoko, fresh out from TCTF (Technology Crimes Task Force, a secret police to take cyber drugs and weapons from the streets, as well as explore the induced technophobia to operate and investigate on a blank check permission) academy is placed under the command of Terrance Griffin and Dr.

Kerr and linked to a SLD - an android - called Shinatama, who is neurally linked to her.

However, Konoko knows next to nothing about her past, other that she was orphaned at the age of three and felt "different" to other people while was being brought up under the wing of TCTF.

After many years in training, she has finally the chance to prove herself to Griffin and the TCTF, and so, heads for a warehouse rumoured to be under the control of the Syndicate, a criminal organization which grew exponentially after a young man called "Boss Muro" climbed to the top of the organization.

Inspired by the classic Anime series Ghost in the Shell by Shirow Masamune , gameplay is a mix between generic third-person shooter and a classic beat'em up.

While Konoko has at her disposal several hand-to-hand acrobatic moves (with more unlocked as the player advances), she can also find weapons in the levels, and the decision to go armed or bare-fisted is only up to the player.

Oni for PlayStation 2 is currently worth €22.24 loose, €5.14 complete in box, and €45.84 factory sealed. Prices are based on real sales and update regularly on Gamevaro.

Oni has a steady sales history on the tracked marketplaces, meaning it trades hands regularly and isn't considered particularly rare.

Loose means cartridge or disc only, CIB (complete in box) includes the original box and manual, and sealed means factory-sealed and never opened. For Oni, loose is €22.24 and CIB is €5.14 — CIB commands a premium because original boxes and manuals are fragile and often don't survive.

The PAL version of Oni is currently worth €22.24 loose, versus €26.29 for NTSC-U. Regional price differences usually come down to print run size and regional collector demand.
