It feels like just yesterday Mindjack arrived to jack our minds, and already the DLC is coming forward to do it again. The first batch of DLC is a triple map pack that was released earlier this week (February 15), while the second DLC map pack is on board for a March 8th release. We know you’re ready to hack into some new maps.
MindJack is a new game from Square Enix that looks to change the way you play co-op. A unique 'hack' mechanic allows players to jump in and out of a host player's game. You decide if you will help or hurt that player. How does it all play out? Find out in our review.
This week we'll see the release of a unique looking co-op title from Square-Enix called Mindjack. The premise of the game is simple - at anytime someone can drop in and out of your game and hack the mind of a friend to fight along side of you. On the flip side, they could also hack the mind of an enemy and fight against you. Luckily, this can be disabled, providing a 3 player online co-op experience through the campaign.
Really, the title says it all. Square-Enix have released a brand new trailer for Mindjack that showcases all the characters in the game you can hack into and take control of. Among them? A mechanized bonobo monkey. Sure you can take over civilians that are cowering in fear, or you can take over enemy soldiers with rocket launchers. You can even take over different types of robots armed with machine guns.
I'll be honest. I've read about MindJack, and I wasn't really absorbing what the game was trying to do. Maybe because I kept flashing back to Freejack, the 1992 film starring Emilio Estevez and Mick Jagger. Which is really weird, because I don't remember anything from that film other than a sweet car crash.
We only recently discovered Mindjack, a unique co-op game that blends single player, co-op and versus into one seamless experience. Developed by Square-Enix and set for a January release, the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 game is set in the future which of course means one thing - lots of shiny objects that are devoid of color.
A game that has slipped by our collective co-op radar is one from publisher Square-Enix called Mindjack. The 3rd person action game's premise has players using the ability to jump between NPC characters by controlling their mind. A neat gimmick - but there's a catch. Up to six players can control characters in the game at any time - three for the red side and three for the blue side. These players will drop-in and drop-out seamlessly via Xbox Live or PlayStation Network for a three player co-op experience.
