* GoodBadTranslation: Despite the reports that the game's script was written by an unnamed United Kingdom production team, the English translation is frequently marred by grammatical errors and strange vocabulary (which voice actors don't try to correct), making the story often impossible to understand. However, people don't enjoy ''[=MindJack=]'' for its story but its SoBadItsGood quality, so this only adds to the charm.
-->'''A civilian from radio news''': I don't know what is happen! Smoke, guns, the whole world is explode, so we just running, running very fast...

* CommonKnowledge: When ''[=MindJack=]'' is mentioned a discussion, one cutscene is often brought up as a PlotHole, where Jim claims he knows nothing about Mind Hack despite spending all previous hours doing just that. The game actually explains this in the (admittedly flimsy) plot twist, making said cutscene a forshadowing that Jim might not be the person you think he is.



* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: Many players and critics agree that while the concept behind the game is pretty cool, it's not really put to good use.
** The plot twist, [[spoiler:that the player is a separate entity controlling the protagonist]] while interesting, is so poorly executed that the hints towards it just come off as an idiotic case of GameplayAndStorySegregation.

"Idiot Plot" is now Flame Bait.


* IdiotPlot: The entire story gets jump-started when Jim kills a person who turns out to be an undercover agent working ''for his own department.'' And no, there's no evidence that we can blame this on [[spoiler:Gardner the puppet master.]]

* NightmareFuel[=/=]ParanoiaFuel: Anywhere on Earth, at any moment, you might get taken over by some perfect stranger, who can then use your body to do anything they desire. As shown in one trailer, this can include pulling a gun on a loved one with deadly intentions.

* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: Tsuyoshi Sekito's soundtrack is considered one of the very few good things about the game, aside from [[NinjaPirateZombieRobot robotic]] [[EverythingsBetterWithMonkeys gorillas]].
