    Mind Jack is definitely an enjoyable game and worth picking up and playing from an action standpoint, just don't expect a great script.

    The concept of Mindjack is pretty original, the hacking of the mind of NPC's and other players. Also the possibility to join someone in his singleplayer run to work against him is cool, but the gameplay is a bit too buggy to be very good. The graphics are also a bit mediocre.

    If you desperately want to try something new and are willing to put up with a totally disappointing production, maybe you'll want this when it drops down to a budget price.

    Mindjack's shtick, the ability to hack an opponent to fight on your side, is not interesting enough to overlook its dreadful cover and combat systems, boring characters, unresponsive AI, and bland level design. Its only saving grace is its unique multiplayer component that allows you to hack into someone else's game to cause all sorts of trouble.

    When I had read that Square Enix was making this game i was looking forward to there new game. One word*Boring*. This style has been done 5yrs ago which also matches its graphics..outdated. Rental only don't waste the money. There is a reason some games don't get the hype. If you were to bang your funny bone it would be more fun then this game, Peace Out OSG. Expand
  3. The graphics are mediocre. The AI is brain dead. The story is uninteresting. THE BOSSES SHOOT THE GROUND! The dialogue is laughably bad. The only thing neat about this game is the concept alone. Expand
  4. Worst game ever.
