This game stays true to the feel of Ghost in the shell. Plenty of story, plenty of shooting and things blowing up! The developers did a great job! There's a decent amount of extras to unlock, and the game features a four-player deathmatch mode. The Tachikoma tank in the game is often times hilarious without over-doing it. One of my favorite unlockables for the single-player game is the sniper rifle with infinite ammo. It lets you go more of a stealth route and gives the game a different feel! You have to really pay attention to your surroundings when transversing the terrain bacause nothing is really pointed out to you, only a general direction that you should be headed towards. What makes it unconventional is that there is hardly ever anything that looks like a "you can land here" spot. Often times, you'll be jumping off a building to another one stories below, to land on a corner of a scaffolding or pillar. I personally like this approach as it gives a more realistic and excited feel to platforming. But to less experienced gamers, I can see where this may be difficult or frustrating. Hand-to-hand combat is great when you have the "shock gear" on. Enemies will fly through the air sparking after you punch and kick them. Their bodies spiral into water or even off sky-high buildings if you happen to be near one. The game also encourages and sometimes requires you to think before you make your move. If you don't, snipers will take you out easily with one shot. The only negative aspect to this game is probably the length of the (single-player) game, which feels slightly short (12 levels from what I remember). Still, the levels are very fun and replayable and there's unlockable difficulty settings. For those wondering about this game being compared to Oni, I pretty much hate that game but Ghost in the shell: Standalone complex is great. Graphics: 8.5 (Everything usually looks great but sometimes there's things that aren't quite as detailed) Controls: 9.5 (jumping can be tricky sometimes but everything else is near-perfect) Audio: 9.5 (surround is an option and sounds great) As a side note, the games actual box art is reversible, so you actually get 2 covers for the DVD case -- choose the one you like best! Final word: Great game, worth buying! 4 1/2 out of 5 stars!Read full review
Excellent game for fans of Ghost in the Shell. Controls take some getting used to, but they actually make a lot of sense once you get a feel for the gameplay. Lots of hacking, shooting, platforming gameplay. Great animation and level design. The only real downside is that there just isn't anything here setting it apart from the droves of third person shooters on the ps2. But what the game does, it does very well. Will definitely appeal most to fans of Ghost in the Shell.
This game actually has pretty good graphics based off the time it originally released. And it’s interesting cause it has English voice actor’s yet the anime does not. Plus this game was not really advertised much at all in America.

A great game for anyone who loves the ghost in the shell series. Great graphics and gameplay!!!! All the characters and the voices from the SAC series are on the game, which makes you feel like you are part of the series. Word of waring: im not sure if it was me, but since this game is for the PS2 and i have the PS3, not the PS2, i could not save my progress!!! It was a big pain, since you have to replay from the begin every time, cause for some reason my PS3 would not save my progress, every thou i tried to save it myself!!!!! other than that, its a great game!!
For a long time there wasn't a decent Ghost in the Shell game. Bungee's Oni was meant to be much like the world that Ghost in the Shell shows but it wasn't as good. This game is full of action, dinamic, challenging levels. The good balance between firearms and hand2hand combat spiced with tricky jumps makes the game unforgettable. I recommend this game, the music is very unique and gives a nice atmosphere to the game.
If you love ghost in the shell this is a must buy

First way to complex, had to ask a fellow gamer @ work to find out about L3 button. However, this is the only negitive thing I have found. Great graphics and story line. I have Ghost in the Shell:PSone, this is a great sequel to it.
If you are a fan of the actual series this is a nice game . . .but it isnt really that great if you are hoping to see the laughing man or to have really any connection with the show besides the characters and an anti-terrorist plot.
I love the Ghost in the Shell game. It's full of a lot of action and the storyline gives you a more in-depth look at the actual series of the Ghsot in teh Shell. With hacking into other people, combat, and stealth, you can't help but love the game.
