If anyone has ever played the game "The Bouncer" you will be comforted. The game is very similar in nature. Mindjack play's like another 3rd person shooter when comes to the controls, but departs when it comes to the battlefield. Player's can hack into any enemy or civilian that is foreseeable. This leads to some interesting teamwork and strategies, will you sneak upon them with the exploding robot while you you corner them in with a shield robot, while you snipe the people trying to get out? All the game can be played with a co-op wanderers, up to a couple depending on the level, that also includes enemy players that can come hack into your game. The game also features a level up system where you can upgrade your character with "arts" such as carrying an extra grenade, or damage reduction ala uncharted 2. The story is strange, but is definitely one that will keep you thinking as you play. As you play, you will have different partner's, they each have their own personality but are sometimes shrouded by silly voice work, but it adds to the experience. Most of the many "people" you play as don't differ too much. But that is OK because there are space gorillas and roomba vacuums that DO play differently. The game is short, like the bouncer, but catches itself with re playability. There's many reasons to go back playing, trophies/ achievements , which are fun to get and to unlock all the plug ins and arts. i personally enjoy this game and find the graphics similar to deadly premonition, and the environments differ with the story but don't get too spectacular. The game clocks in about 7 hours shorter if you don't do anything else, but i like the length. There is always people hacking into my games, and i'm always doing the same. Though you should really play the game with people being able to hack into your game to get the best experiences of mindjack, and if you don't wanna be bothered by people you can just lock hackers out.Plus there is always a bunch of people online! I would recommended this game to people like me! This is a Super Mega Smasher!
First of all: I liked the game, in spite of several GS nobles' quite ostentatious disdain suggesting outer rather than in-game reasons coming into play, and am thus eager to further explore the online possibilities offer... Read Full Review
Now SquareEnix had a chance to do something good here; the concept is not a new one (Messiah - PC, Demons Souls) but could have been nicely transported into a concept for the new generation. But no. SquareEnix has fai... Read Full Review
