Ghost In The Shell (1997, PS1)

Released in 1997 for the playstation, the game is more in sync with the manga than the anime movie by Mamoru Oshi. The US and European releases were a year after the Japanese release, in 1998.

You play as robot spider-thingy, Fuchikoma (known as Tachikoma in the dull Ghost In The Shell: Stand Alone Complex TV series). You can scale walls like Spiderman, hang upside down, shoot grenades and destroy huge cyborg-mechas, lotsa fun! ^^

There's 12 levels to play. I got through the entire thing with one week.

My one quarm about this game is that alot of the mecha don't look very 'Shirow-ish.' In alot of Shirow's anime and what not, you can tell if it's a Shirow designed mecha or not, and alot of the mechas you battle here don't have that distinctive Shirow style, but no matter; one of the bets anime games for the PS1-


My rating: 8.8/10
