Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex

Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex is a third-person action shooter based on the television series. Set in 2030, it follows cyborgs Motoko Kusunagi and Batou as they undertake missions for Section 9, a secret government agency combating terrorism and crime.

Across twelve missions, players fight, jump, climb, use a range of weapons, and collect ammunition or equipment from defeated enemies. Hacking keys can reveal enemy locations and enable attempts to control certain enemies by matching spinning ring patterns. Computer terminals also provide opportunities to hack into enemies.

The story is presented through full-motion video between missions and communications during gameplay. Three difficulty levels are available, along with multiplayer competition for up to four players.
