A real-time FMV adventure with Jack

Presented by New IDEA Games, Hijacker Jack - Famous, wanted is an ambitiously made full-motion video (FMV) game with real-life interactive videos and multiple endings. This free-to-play action title will have you play the faceless character of Jack and interact with a fun cast of characters.

Hijacker Jack - Famous, wanted's storyline will plunge you into thrilling car chases and other similar adrenaline-inducing activities as well as have you exploring unfamiliar locations. As you progress through the story, the decisions you make will earn you karma. These points will then decide the ending you will get in the end.

With different endings to unlock

Think of the Grand Theft Auto series but with real people acting out every scene and you will get Hijacker Jack - Famous, wanted. It boasts a rich storyline comprising various chapters, a cast of interesting characters, decision-making elements, and lots of interactive scenes. Every decision you make when faced with a choice is going to bring you, the protagonist Jack, toward drastically different outcomes and life paths.

As mentioned, there are four very different endings based on your decisions, and you can try to reach them all by replaying the game over and over again. These outcomes can be achieved by scoring karma points throughout the game, as the ending you will get will be based on the amount you have scored. Users have reported that playing feels like watching a movie, thanks to the realistic settings and actors involved.

However, there are lots of unskippable cutscenes to sit through. Should you want to skip them to save time, you will have to purchase the premium version of the game. Otherwise, you will have to replay the cutscenes whenever you make mistakes or get defeated in fights. Plus, while there are interactive scenes here and there, the controls for these are quite clunky, resulting in more frequent mission failures than successes.

Great game if not for its controls

For those interested in a one-of-a-kind adventure where the graphics and action are more real than life, Hijacker Jack - Famous, wanted is a must-play. It is packed with a rich storyline and intriguing characters to meet, as well as a plethora of chances to interact with scenes. The gameplay flows smoothly, just like a movie, although its controls are quite inconvenient to operate.
