I got this game. So here is a short review.
Starting a new game the first thing you notice is that the voices are those of the cast that do the voices for the hugely popular anime series of the same name. Although it has the same name it is a completly stand alone episode.It has just over 20 mins of gorgeous FMV's giving it a real anime feel. The in-game graphics ar beautiful too. Gameplay wise, unfortunately its just another third person shooter, you go Motoko, Batou and even Tachikoma. The single player is really short and easy even on the hard setting. Although merely completing it once isn't enough, you can play through again collecting fans (that is blowing them up ofcourse), obviously collecting all the fans unlocks new features. There is a multiplayer mode for upto 4 people, either Battle Royale which is quite self-explanitory or team mode which i have yet to play as you need 4 people for that mode. So anyway, completing the game unlocks new characters in multiplayer, aswell as weapons. After the first time completing it you can set infinite ammo and have a choice of all the guns you have unlocked. Making an easy game even easier.
So, probably a bit of a let down but its still gorgeous and their is more than one way to approach each of the levels, but thats for you to find out. I give it say 7/10. It's still a game worth getting, and if you are a G.I.T.S fan its a must.
