This item was basically just rounding out my boyfriend's obsessive collection of GITS items. :) He was happy with it and played a bit but its difficult and theres a steep learning curve, can be very frustrating. He's happy to have it though.

Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex is an excellent game. It echoes the spirit of the series, as well as providing background information on the characters. (Togusa!! Yay!!) The game play is difficult, even when set on "Easy" mode, and can be frustrating to a player that isn't experienced with the PlayStation 2.

The only quibble I have is the formatting of how Major Kusanagi runs. Batou is a much more stable fighter IMO. But anyway. Overall, this is an excellent game! Pray that they'll make more!

Great history, bad graphics

I'm a fan of the anime series, and I buy this game for that. The history in the game is awesome, but the graphics engine and the movements of the characters are to clumsy. My recomandation, if you are a fan of the series, buy it, otherwise, think it twice.

Way better than most anime games

This game is way more fun than any other anime games I have played recently. It is very hard but it is very fun at the same time. The graphics, movements, cut scenes...everything is amazing. Of course I would expect nothing less. A perfect anime series deserves a perfect game.

One of the few anime games that is good... A rare breed

Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex - Circa 2005

GOOD:
- Really balance gameplay (combat wise), controls feel solid and functional
- Hack enemies and control them for a short period of time (even use them to kill other enemies)
- Play as Major and Bato, every other level or so you alternate
- The Story feels true to the sprit of the Stand Alone Complex series

BAD:
- The Tachikoma level in this game is a little lame, plus maybe its just my imagination but I feel that the Tachikoma's voices are a little more irritating than usual in this game
- Some jumping puzzles sour experience
- You pretty much have to be a fan of the show it like this game, story wise at least
- Graphics may come off a little lacking when compared to more modern games

IF IT FITS YOUR TASTE:
- In game dialog and story can be considered boring and nonsensical to most, but then again it's the type of dialog and story that is present in the show, either you love it or hate it
- A story that is more geared for an adult audience and mature gamers, not in the sense that is overly violent or sexual but that the story is more political based, think of it like the show 24 but in Japan and also 200 years in the future
- In the game you only play as Major and Bato, this game never really fleshes out the other characters (gameplay wise), which is not bad (especially for those who like Major and Bato the best) but it might be considered short sighted
- Lots of run and gun gameplay which can appeal to many gamers

GAME ITS MOST ASSOCATED TOO:
- Brute Force
- Blood Rayne
- Gun Grave

ADDITIONAL NOTES:
- The story in this game is not based on any actual Ghost in the Shell episode
- Two players versus mode (beat game to unlock more content in this area) is fun, but only available in a spilt screen mode

G.S: S.A.C.

I bought it a while ago, but I haven't played it much yet because of other games I'm playing. I'm a huge anime fan so I bought it. From the first two stages that I played it is very good. I like how it isn't a real fps, but more like a third person shooter. The graphics are nice. I don't like the dubbed voice acting in this. I was hoping it would have an option for the Japanese one. I will definitely play it when I finish with my other games.

A Game a fan can enjoy!!!!!!!!!

This game while not the best of the best still has it's merits. If you're a fan of the anime then you'll most likely find the game fun. You can brain dive, do acrobatic moves, use weapons from the series and what's best is that the game even has the voice actors straight from the series so you can at least be sure that there's quality voices.

how about that a video game

If your in to anime and a Ghost in the Shell fan then get this game. She runs fast and you get to shoot guns at enemies. Their are also machines in this video game.
