Maken X

"You get a game running at 60fps and you get movement that seems as real as reality itself... You'll spend most of the game in close combat with your enemy opponents, slashing and wacking them... gamepad control problems come into the picture..."

"For the most part, the gimmick spices up what is mostly very repetitious play. Because of the hack and slash nature, the fun comes in the brainjacking - wondering what enemy you're going to steal powers from, and how they'll aid you throughout."

"This sword has the ability to take possession of human life forms through a process known as brain jacking. That's where you come in, taking control of the characters possessed by the Maken through around twenty different levels of first person hack-and-slash action."
