ALL STAR LINE UP

[SK]

-from gamers.com

"Back on the original PlayStation, a game based on the popular Japanese anime Ghost In the Shell was released, offering lots of tank action with an import flavor that gamers seemed to enjoy. Now the license has returned, this time to a bigger platform.

Bandai has announced Ghost In the Shell: Stand Alone Complex for the PlayStation 2 console. The game will allow you to take control of one of three different characters and flow through a number of stages, with material based on the forthcoming anime film of the same name. Some multiplayer features will also be implemented into the final game, along with the possibility of footage from the film.


Both the Ghost In the Shell: Stand Alone Complex game and the movie are scheduled for release later this year."

Final Fantasy XII sounds a lot different from the others... and i dunno if it's a good thing. I wonder how it's gonna work with all that stuff taken out

GC is kitty. Im sure its focused in the younger players, cos it really doesnt hav any mature commendable games. Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicals maybe, but i heard that it wasnt as good as the others.

kitty is just an exaggerrated misconception.....and even if it wasnt, it would only apply to the visual element of the game anyway.....i'd make that sacrifice to play something that has 10x more replay value than most of the higher end ps2 games

im the kinda person who doesnt care if a game has tons of blood or w/e in it, as long as its fun, thats why im getting a gamecube. the reason the ps2 is the best seller is because it appeals to people between 13-30 or something like that, while nintendo is like 12 and under, so who is more likely to buy the most games? nintendo has all their cool games like metroid, pokemon, mario, starfox etc. but ps2 has tekken, gta, mgs, vf, devil may cry, onimusha etc etc.

how the hell can any1 be anticipating halo2 over HL2 and doom3? need i remind u HL and doom were completely revolutionary for their time. halo is jst a passing fad game. nothing special. (BF1942 got there first with the whole "massive maps, vehicles included" multiplayer thing)

i know how much of an impact doom and hl had on PC gaming. Just because a game isnt the first at doing something doesnt mean that its gonna suck. And i have played doom 3, even if it was only the alpha, and i honestly did not like it that much. It didnt have the same appeal as the original games. And the HL clips are amazing, but ive never been into HL 1. I tried playing and never got really into it. However, right now, Halo has been extremly fun. Me and my friends just link up two Xboxes, two rooms, and play CTF. Its good fun. I dont care about the revolutionary things these games have done, its just that ive been enjoying Halo lately - that is why i anticipate Halo 2 more than Hl2 and doom3.

Stand Alone Complex...movie?

*confused*

Do they mean Innocence when they say 'movie' or what?

[SK]

nope the new series and game are both known as Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex.

[Swallow Your Soul]

Ahhh I've looked at the pics of the GitS game and it looks well ace...it BETTER get a European release and it seriously better have the option of having the Japanese voice-over characters with subs like the .hack game...otherwise I'll have to get my PS2 modded and get the Jap version!
