Headhunter: Redemption vs MindJack

In a post‑viral world split between the chrome‑clad Above and the ruined Below, veteran Headhunter Jack Wade takes on a new apprentice, Leeza X, to confront the darkness lurking beneath the surface. The game blends gritty third‑person shooting with stealth and exploration as you navigate towering megacities and subterranean colonies. The IRIS scanner lets you examine objects and enemies in detail, while rolling, leaning, and using cover provide tactical options against foes that react to sound and movement. Experience a story‑driven adventure set in a stark sci‑fi landscape on PlayStation 2.

The campaign blends single‑player narrative with seamless co‑op, letting friends jump in at any moment. Developed by feelplus and published by Square Enix, the game launched on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in early 2011.
