Pre-order Mindjack and dominate multiplayer

by: Nathan -
More On: Mindjack
Mindjack has a pre-order bonus that may be too good to pass up for the competitive among us. Players who fork out the dough early will get unlimited dash and unlimited "high voltage". Both are the equivalent of a sprint; dash for the physical and high voltage for the ethereal "wanderer mode" used to hack targets. Certainly an intriguing pre-order bonus certainly, but I have to wonder how this will effect the multiplayer. Are these abilities exclusive to pre-order players or do they just get them earlier than everyone else? Will this have a detrimental impact on gameplay so that only pre-order players are able to dominate in multiplayer matches? Either way you might want to watch out for players with gold uniforms on their characters if you don't pre-order; that's the third perk for pre-ordering. You can jump on this opportunity to get ahead of the curve now by pre-ordering on the official site or by going to Amazon, Best Buy, or Gamestop.

ABOUT MINDJACK
MINDJACK is a unique action shooter that will push the boundaries of the third-person genre with its thrilling co-operative gameplay, mind control abilities and other incredible surprises.  The game will effectively blur the line between traditional single- and multi-player gameplay, creating a campaign experience where non-playable characters can, at any moment, transform into human-controlled allies or gun-toting foes.
 
Set in 2031, MINDJACK throws players into the life of Jim Corbijn, a field agent with the Federal Intelligence Agency. As Jim becomes embroiled in a clandestine war between governments and corporations, he employs futuristic technology that allows him to take control of other characters and machines within the game world by “hacking” into them. 
 
As networked players join another gamer’s single-player campaign through Xbox Live or PlayStation Network, they seamlessly transform the experience into co-operative multiplayer, instantly altering the challenge and game world, resulting in each game session being truly unique.
 
MINDJACK is rated M (Mature). Please visit the Entertainment Software Rating Board website at www.esrb.org for more information about ratings.
 
MINDJACK will be available at North American retailers beginning January 18, 2011 for the PlayStation 3 system and Xbox 360. For more information about MINDJACK please visit the official website at http://www.mindjackgame.com and follow the game on Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/MindjackGame.
