I just got this game. This is a game from 1998. It's a very simple action game a little bit like GTA, to me at least. What attracts me was melee combat. It felt somehow like Oni, or actually vice versa. The melee was far inferior to Oni, but a few similarities stand out.
1. slide attack
2. melee, although much simpler, still reminds me of Oni.
3. take down moves are reminds me of Oni as well.
4. the interface on the game graphic is very similar too.
the differences:
1. it's like a GTA, you can drive, although driving mechanics are inferior.
2. the environment is more like GTA than Oni, it is usually on a city street with pedestrians.
3. you can hang on the edge in this game, Oni lacks this.
4. the control on the PC does not incorporate mouse.
5. lock on mechanic is a hard lock on.
conclusion: Oni borrows heavy from this game, but with a much more robust melee mechanic. The hang on edge mechanics however produce a new dimension for the game which Oni lacks. To create a game with Oni's melee in a open world style game is quite possible. The most important thing is still how to design a mission.
