Creative, but doesn't quite stick the landing. There's a huge 6-character cast, advanced positioning tech and special moves, and a neat 'cyberpunk-in-architecture-but-not-in-tone'. But it doesn't run very well, it feels kinda choppy, and most of the enemy design is bad. I know Makai II has a strong cult following; I assume that sequel brushes up the gamefeel for something more stylish.
