MindJack


MindJack is a third-person shooter video game developed by feelplus and published by Square Enix for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. In the campaign story, the game is single-player but “transitions seamlessly” into cooperative gameplay.[1] The game was to be originally released in October 2010 for Europe and North America but it was pushed back to Q1 2011. North America took the first release of the turn of the year, followed by Europe and Japan.[2]
MindJack takes place in 2031, when the world’s governments are in decline and new corrupt organizations are arising. The plot revolves around a rogue team of agents. The player can “hack” into and control enemies, vehicles, or civilians.[1]

MindJack received less than mediocre to terrible reviews.
Angry Joe scored it a 1/10, calling it "an excellent concept for a game turned into a complete disaster filled with boring AI, a broken multi-player, countless bugs and a story that doesn't make sense." The title card for Joe's Review predicts that Mindjack will be worst game of 2011.[3]
Eurogamer called it "a strange blend of Resident Evil 5, Uncharted and Minority Report," stating "If you can look past the lack of polish and horrible graphics, there's a compelling and unique take on cover-based shooters here, along with an interesting lesson on how games deal with plot. It's a rewarding little game, if you can hack it."[4]
Gamespot praised MindJack's concept and online multiplayer, but concluded "Mindjack does have a few bright spots, but they are smothered beneath the weight of the awkward controls and squandered potential."[5]
IGN summed up their review with "Mindjack is ultimately a frustrating and forgettable shooter with horrible presentation, clumsy controls and a plodding campaign. It serves up a next-gen idea with its unique multiplayer design yet delivers it in a horribly last-gen package."[6]
1UP.com found nothing to like about the game, calling it a "lazy, corporate-mandated cash-in."[7]
Official Xbox Magazine's verdict was that "Nobody in their right mind should buy this".[8]
Zero Punctuation gave it an extremely negative review even by its usual standards, saying, "It's rare to find a game so blisteringly appalling in its every slightest aspect".[9]
