omg i cant wait for this game as well as the second film which i only saw the trailer to last week

Quick info on the one multiplayer mode. It's straight up team deathmatch. You select from a variety of enemy soldiers to play as (so far, no sign of Tachi', Batou, or Motoko) and pick either Team A or Team B, and select one of a few stages (about 7 or 8) and have at it.

Gets kinda frameskippy at three players though, so four players may be a tad worse.

when are the europian release dates
