Well if you are familiar with Tokyo's layout the map isn't that hard to understand. I disagree about the plot not making sense, in fact I feel it's one of the best written stories in the series. What I love about it is that you have to uncover it for yourself. No one really sits you down after the beginning and really explains what is going on instead talking to the people of Tokyo or Mikado will drop the hints you need to piece everything together. It's incredibly fulfilling after years of playing RPGs that spoon feed the story and characters to you to finally have something that requires a bit more thought and action on the players part.

I've been meeting to do a write up of this game as a blog.
