The film received generally positive reviews, but was criticized for being dialogue-heavy and lacking in action. In , two years after the events of 2nd GIG , Public Security Section 9 is investigating a string of mysterious suicides by refugees from the Siak Republic. Chief Aramaki conducts a raid to arrest the refugee dictator only to find him already dead. In retaliation, a Siak operative plans a terrorist attack with a micromachine virus. Batou is sent to intercept the Siak operative and encounters Kusanagi, who is conducting her own investigation.

Before they can apprehend the operative, he dies while attacking them. Kusanagi takes a case of virus ampules and warns Batou to stay away from the Solid State Society before leaving.

All the children are listed as the children of Noble Rot Senior Citizens and Section 9 begins to suspect a larger conspiracy when they are part of a larger body of 20, children. Soon afterwards, the Puppeteer causes the disappearance of the sixteen children and Batou reveals to Togusa that he believes Kusanagi to be the Puppeteer.

Section 9 next intercepts a Siak sniper that is targeting the supposed mastermind of Ka Rum's assassination. After his capture it is revealed the informant and the target are one and the same.

The sniper says that the Puppeteer is a mechanism in the Solid State and cannot be killed. Togusa tracks down one of the missing children, now assigned to an elderly man in the Noble Rot program. As Togusa tries to take the child, the man awakens and demands the child be left with him as he had named the child as his sole heir. He would rather give his assets to a child off the street and to protect them from abuse than have his assets turned over to the government upon his death.

The man immediately dies after warning Togusa not to interfere with the will of the Solid State. Later, Togusa receives a call from the Puppeteer who hacks his brain and forces him to drive to a cyberbrain implant hospital with his daughter. The Puppeteer and Togusa converse, and Togusa is given the option to lose his daughter to the Solid State or commit suicide.

He chooses suicide but is saved by Kusanagi who then identifies the Puppeteer as a rhizome formed by the collective consciousness of the Noble Rot Senior Citizens located in a welfare center. Kusanagi temporarily rejoins Section 9 and confirms that Ito Munei, an influential politician, was behind the assassination of General Ka Rum. She also confirms that Munei and other politicians use it as a front for a brainwashing facility to create an elite group of pure-blooded Japanese to take control of the country in the next generation and lead it into Munei's vision of a new Golden Age.

The Solid State decided to eliminate Munei for interfering in its plans, but Munei was ignorant of the origin of the abduction infrastructure. A designer named Tateaki Koshiki steps forward, claiming he developed the Solid State system before committing suicide. Kusanagi dives into his cyberbrain and into Koshiki's trap, allowing him to hack her cyberbrain.

The Puppeteer reveals that he was spread across several egos until a collective consciousness emerged and developed into a Solid State, allowing him to move into the society beyond as the vanishing mediator. Later, Batou tells a recovering Kusanagi that the real Tateaki Koshiki used a prosthetic body and built the Solid State after he was hired by Munei. Kusanagi does not reveal that the Puppeteer was a fragment of herself, but Batou already knew from being linked to her during the dive.

Batou concludes that the ultimate identity of the Puppeteer will remain unknown and that incident will be written off as a scandal. Kusanagi implies that she will permanently rejoin Section 9 after years of wandering the net on her own.

The film was initially hinted as a new anime project collaboration with Bandai Visuals and Production I. Game score 8. Expectations before the premiere: 8. Recommended: Intel Core i5 3. Ghost in the Shell is a platform shooter in the spirit of the Japanese anime and manga of the same name. The game begins with a prologue FMV full motion video , laying the groundwork for the cyberpunk tale to come. Section 9, an elite counter-terrorist and cyber warfare organization, has been given the task to track down and neutralize the Human Liberation Front terrorist group, which recently leveled a Megatech Corp building.

If you've ever viewed a Ghost in the Shell anime episode, you know the rest of the story will wind up being cerebral and far more complex than it first appears. Enter the rookie. As the latest personnel acquisition to Section 9, your task is to train in the operation of the Fuchikoma, a sophisticated A. The versatile Fuchikoma tank is able to not only jump, slide, and sprint along the ground with ease, but like its spider brethren can also climb most walls, skitter along ceilings, and get crushed by giant newspapers.

Its offensive armament consists of vulcan cannons, lock-on missiles, and a limited cache of grenades to terminate targets. If that sounds like Fuchikomas might take a bit of practice to use effectively, you're probably right. The game thankfully has a training mode to acclimate new players to the handling of the machines. A fully explorable training ground is available for the aspiring tank pilot, complete with Hogan's Alley-like shooting dummies, obstacles, objectives, and timer.

At the end of a session, the trainee will be rewarded with one of a number of short FMVs depending on how well they did. When you feel comfortable with your skills, it's time for the main game. Each primary mission is preceded by a FMV unrolling more of the plot and laying out the level's objectives. Missions range from open area hunter-killer type excursions, to tracking through cramped tunnels of a sewer, to taking out explosives before countdown timers detonate their payloads and your budding career.

Your spider tank will even see some oceanic action before long. In the background a driving techno soundtrack keeps you company, though it never rose to a level beyond atmospheric for this trainee. The terrain also seemed to visually lack digital vitality, even for a PSOne title, painting a lifeless city-grey feel onto everything.

With no weapon upgrades or other enhancements for the Fuchikoma to assimilate, the action began to feel a bit repetitive by the third stage watch radar, dodge attack, counter, bake at , repeat! Personally this operator felt like busting out of the tank once in a while to don some thermoptic camouflage, chase down a suspect on foot in the crowded city, then run around HQ shooting up the place until the major came and put an end to my fun.
