"Full-contact action" is the phrase Bungie has coined to describe Oni. It isn't just an empty slogan, either. What makes Oni different from other third-person action fare is its combination of running, leaping, rolling, and shooting, as well as martial arts. The game employs a standard keyboard/mouse 3D shooter control scheme, but adds a punch button and a kick button, which should allow greater combat versatility than similar games.

You'll be able to kick weapons from opponents' hands, pepper their ugly mugs with your fists of fury, and then topple them with a roundhouse kick.

Bungie also says that Oni will have advanced AI, similar to Eidos' Thief: The Dark Project, so at times it may be necessary to hide silently.
