An experimental game on the part of Atlus, Maken X is a solid adventure game, despite it's flaws. It's plot is interesting, and has some unique premises, but falls into the trap of making little sense at time, and being difficult to follow. The characters designs are top notch, and the gameplay is a unique hybrid a fps and combat mechanics found in action adventure games. I personally enjoyed it, due to branching paths which allow for replayability, however, the first person view may not be for some. Better than it's remake of sorts on the ps2, which changes the perspective to 3rd person, despite the combat system being developed for 1st person.
