Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex

"Sluggish controls and lifeless gameplay make Ghost in the Shell worth playing only for loyal fans of the anime, and even then it isn't worth more than a rental."

"The gameplay isn't smart, the customizing RPG elements aren't very complex, and the story isn't presented with the kind of flair that Shirow Masamune's manga has inspired in film, on TV, or even in previous videogames. It controls fine and looks decent, but that should be a given by now. A lot of the breakdown is in this game being a first-gen PSP effort, but technology hurdles or not, too much of this game's problem is in the design."
