Thanks to The Magic Box for new screenshots and details of Ghost In The Shell: Stand Alone Complex, as the PlayStation 2 "action shooter", developed by Drag-on Dragoon creators Cavia in conjunction with Production I.G., the makers of the original Ghost In The Shell anime movie and the new GITS: Stand Alone Complex TV show, gets an official Japanese site and brief ASX trailer video. This third-person shooter, unrelated in gameplay to an earlier Ghost In The Shell title for PlayStation 1, has you battling against "illicit arms trades, and... terrorists", and will debut in Japan in March 2004, with a U.S. release as yet unconfirmed.

I seem to remember Bungie saying that Ghost in the Shell was a large part of the inspiration for 'Oni' (which happens to be one of my all time favorite games). Oni was also an action-shooter (with most of the emphasis on martial arts) and from the screen shots, this new game looks kinda similar. Then again, who can tell from still screens...
