This game is pretty broken. Hype form SE and bribe money won't work this time.

User Rating: 1.5 | Mindjack PS3
Feelplus's first big budget project after being brought by SquareEnix. Also the last big one before they are dissolved.

Mindjack is a game about people using things that are never directly explained to mindjack people under your control. It's called Mindhack. And then there is Mindjack when a thing that is also not directly described takes over a person and you control them.

Now, the game starts off with an idiot who is supposed to be undercover randomly killing some random guy. Then randomly he is being attacked by a random army of armed killers and is declared a traitor and him and the women who he was supposed to secure undercover spend the rest of the game being killed.

A theory of what the plot is would be that one of the comanders, but not even close to the leader of whatever organization is trying to kill the player characters, was trying to get the technology for mindhack. Which somehow you and the women already have.

On that topic, later in the story past the half-way point is a cutscene where they finally talk about mindhacking and what it is. After using it the whole time till that point of the game.

When you are in battle and you defeat an enemy, you have a small opportunity to send a mindwave that will have those enemies work for you temporarily until you get to the next area. Each area is in between 10 and 1 minute long. Each area has a certain amount of levels that are not told to you. Every weapon or item you pick up and have in your possession is gone and reset to the starting pistol every areas FOR NO REASON.

When you are in a heavy firefight, sometimes there might be robots or civilians. Which all have guns except the robot with a big shield. You can then leave your players body and move to theirs and control them. If both your characters are down you will lose even if your "new" body is ok. He/she if not a robot, can heal your players, but only if one of the two main characters is still standing.

Gunplay is a joke. you can't fire straight, everyone need a clip to kill. Explosives like Grenades and RPG all have large hitboxes and can hut you not being near the,. This also applies to some guns. Some randomly have you walk slower or unable to run, and others that are bigger than those guns can.

The game is a mess with the A.I. it's either to easy or to cheap. Sometimes, the A.I. does not shoot you at all and shoots at a random areas or is confused. This applies to enemies or robots under your control as well.

The plot is nonexistant. With the worst ending I have see in a long time. It's just "hey put some innuendo here" to "hey! You ok! Let's go blast them!" makes Gears of War and Uncharted sound like Moby dick.

The music is Mixed. But you will be too amazed at the awfulness of this game to give MOST of the tracks enough attention. You are constantly put in hallways or large rooms underfire every ten seconds. Some give fakeouts that there is stealth involved. Lol, NOPE. It's fight these guys till the areas is clear, move to the next part of the level, and then once you progress the story, throw all items and weapons away in the trash.

When you are in a battle, or not in a battle, and sometimes they might wait, sometimes there is a timer before they just randomly no where you are for some reason and shoot you. You might think you can pause the game. NOPE. The online MP part of this game is lazily put into the single player. You will get a menu yeah, but it won't pause. So you will get killed while thinking that, or attempting to get out the menu.

Randomly there will be GIANT MECHS THAT HAVE WEAPONS OF UNBELIEVABLE POWER IN CUTSCENES that will suck ass when you fight them in game. These will require you to run around and shoot random people until an enemy with a RL or an RPG comes out. You the waste the ammo and have to do it over. Since the only way to beat ALL but ONE of these is to shoot explosives at it. No, grenades won't work, and in most cases you will have no grenades anyway since every area the weapons RESET FOR NO REASON!

The graphics all have a blue tint over them for some reason.Seriously, the whole game is tinted blue. There are other colors but they are drowned out a bit in this very Blue world that you explore. I guess that's what SE/FP though would be the color of the future.

The cutscenes are inconsistent and are the highlight of the game. Done by SE and not the main developers of this game. They randomly show clipping, they randomly go blurry, they randomly jag, they randomly audio/video dysync.

The game is a nightmare with random music and sound effect clipping or missing entirely after a couple missions or after a short mission fail. You will get these as the game has in many area trial and error approaches. Spending 7 minutes clearing an area to have a random helicopter and a guy from behind blast you with a rocket without warning is not fun. Especially since the radius for rockets and grenades is 5x the size that is visible.

The whole game is the same thing with the occasional repetitive mech fight in between a few times. It's a mess that was declared finished.

The MP is the same as the SP but in some areas worse. Including the fact that only the guy main character can progress. Your Co-op partner playing as the women will randomly leave the body into the orb thing you use to control random people until random enemies spanwn again.,

For a finished game this is unacceptable. Effort can be seen through the mud, and I bet SE rushed FP with a possible warning of the company being destroyed. It was eventually. You can see what they tried to do, but what the ended up with is this.

I would say to stay away for all our sakes.
