Description

3rd person action game based on the Ghost in the Shell original comic by Masamune Shirow rather than Mamoru Oshi's film. You take the role of a new member in Kusanagi's anti-terrorist squad and get to accomplish missions on your Fuchikoma, (a spider-like AI equiped tank) thanks to which you can jump, stick to walls and ceilings and shoot the hell out of terrorists, all from a 1st or 3rd person point of view. As the missions procede a plot starts to surface concerning a giant skyscrapper, the Aereopolis II, which will eventually be solved after 12 single player missions. Other features include a training sequence, 3D stereo sound and wide anamorphic screen mode for 16x9 TVs.

Trivia

The main animation studio responsible for the Ghost in the Shell movie, Production I.G., contributed over 10 minutes of brand new animations to the game using the original character design (by Shirow) instead of the one featured in the movie. The result is some of the most beautiful cel animated cutscenes ever to appear in any videogame. Also, the entire cast of voiceactors from the movie (save for Kusanagi) return to reprise their roles.
