Yesterday we told you all about the Square Enix published MindJack, but perhaps our prose was not enough to fully form a concrete idea of what the game would play like. Thank goodness for the invention of moving pictures; they solve this problem easily. Above you will find a peak at the gameplay for the body jumping third-person shooter.
I have to say after reading all about it yesterday, seeing the trailers at E3 and seeing this I am none too impressed. The controls look a clunky (though the sliding while shooting is cool), the action seems a little awkward and the graphics look positively last-gen. If this is Square Enix's best attempt to duplicate a Western shooter through a Japanese developer (Feelplus) it looks like they aren't trying hard enough.
I hope I'm wrong on this one and the game's unique take on multiplayer and shingle-player gameplay really shine.

Agreed the gameplay looks a little clunky, but theres still time.
It seems that when a blog post says "i dont like this game", then the comments get filled with "i dont like this game either". But, when a video gets posted like the warhammer 40k one the other day [which looked like shit] and the blog post says sumthin like "this looks great. cant wait!", then the comments once again conform. All this negativity about a game is coming from the same Destructoid that STILL hypes the releases of 'sonic the hedgehog' and 'transformers'.
@glitznglam-style: we don't want lost odyssey 2. first one wasn't exactly bad, but it wasn't good either.
It wasn't bad, nor was it good - you're right. It was fucking amazing.
I'll admit it, I didn't read the post. I just watched the video and made a snap judgement. I am not part of the mob.
