    Wow, welcome to almost a year ago. Hell, the game was PLAYABLE at E3, which was back in May.

    All kidding aside, it would be nice if the original poster had read the article, which focused on the confirmed DETAILS about the game, not the game itself.

      There's even a demo included with this month's issue of Official US Playstation Magazine. Not that anyone noticed, since the Metal Gear Solid 3 demo is on the same disc.

    The game came out a while ago in Japan. All that's new is that it'll be translated and sold in the US market. That's not a huge surprise.

    In the article there was a link to the official game website:

    http://www.ghostintheshell-thegame.com/

    The site has a slick but overproduced flash presentation of the game that includes gameplay clips. Essentially it appears to be a 3D platformer with plenty of running, jumping, shooting, and hand-to-hand combat. Throw in some slo-mo Matrix style camera action for good measure too.

    As with all games of this type, it may *look* cool (and it does), but the control scheme is everything. Until it's actually released and we can get some hands on reviews, it's impossible to say whether this will be worth buying...
