The title immediately conjures up associations with the sci-fi anime movie and series. We obviously know Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex will feature some very high tech combat action, and what better way to explore the crazy futuristic Ghost in the Shell world than with a first person shooter.
The game is the first ever Ghost in the Shell title for the PSP. The sound is also done in such a fantastic way as to really add to the game’s mood and atmosphere. The single player game is short in length, but delivers unbelievable action, whereas the multiplayer mode, while technically offering unlimited action, is rather stale and monotonous.
The game completely follows the anime theme upon which it is based. Yes, you’ll play as a member of the elite police force named Section 9. As a cop in Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex (PSP), you’re on a mission to unravel a convoluted and mysterious plot from a terrorist gang. It’s obvious that you’ll be empowered with heavy duty weapons for accomplishing this task, but you will also need to cleverly use your savvy sleuthing skills as well. In some missions you’re employed to escort helpless VIP’s to safety and to gather official information you’ll need to kidnap an official.
The title involves 6 chapters and each of them is divided into 3 to 4 missions, which each mission lasting a couple of hours. This means you can actually complete the single player game pretty rapidly, even though the game does get progressively more difficult. A must try for any fans of the anime series.

I agree that the overall game was too short, but that didn’t detract from the enjoyment factor. It definitely stimulated me to pull out the original “Ghost in the Shell” PS1/PSX title which was very challenging and deserves to be brought to the PSP as a downloadable from the Sony Playstation Store.
This brings up the topic of conversions- it would be extremely nice if there were a formal protocol for conversions of PSX/PS1/PSONE titles to PSP that anyone personally owns the original copy of such titles that it could be downloaded to standard upgraded PSP. If Sony would get the message and make the PSP friendly in this manner to the users there might not be such a desire amongst other users that I hear of to mod the PSP and it’s op sys to accomplish the same purpose.
There are many titles that I own personally that I would like conversions of(as follows):
Reboot
Tomb Raider(all of the original PS1s and the extra levels)
Alien Trilogy and Resurrection,
Et Cetera- you get the general idea. . .
