Mindjack for PlayStation 3 Reviews by Gamers

Mindjack is not .. a really TERRIBLE game in my opinion .. it's just not a very -good- game. Mindjack's unique play mechanic (hijacking the motor functions of random citizens or almost defeated enemies to make them fight for you) is entertaining and liberating. I think the last time I saw that was the Yuri Clone units in Red Alert 2. But there are moments when that makes winning way too easy - even on the hardest difficulty.

The environments in the game and the character models look like they were stolen from the Metal Gear Solid universe. That can be forgiven to a point, which is why I gave this game a 5. But if you are picky about things like that then it could bother you. The music also sounds like it came straight out of Metal Gear Solid 2.

Character development is non-existent in this story. The forgettable protagonists are as shallow as it gets. The main character's emotional baggage is watered down to the occasional blurry flash-back sequence and the female sidekick is nothing but a sharp-tongued wingman to fight along side you. Square Enix makes no attempt to try to tell us anything about this science fiction world of the future, other than the fact that this nebulous and unexplained mindjacking technology exists. How or why? Your guess is as good as mine. This leaves our boring characters to run around and shoot people in a world that is nothing more than science fiction wallpaper.
