Injects skillfully deployed melee combat infiltration, platforming and a wealth of well-honed play mechanics into a sortie-based operation that puts the player on the receiving end of intel direct from Section 9 itself. [Nov 2004, p.74]

It's by no means a fantastic game, but it satisfied my urge to blow stuff up, and even though it didn't necessarily last long, I was entertained for most of the time.

Most of the game is nicely done, but the bad AI kills what could’ve been a real must-buy.

Stand Alone Complex lives on its good looks and famous anime licence only. As a game, it’s so average in every other aspect that it’s not even funny. [May 2005, p 80]

This game is good, but could have been much better. A longer story and less sound on the next one will make it a "top of its field" game.

An average action-adventure. One for the fans. [Aug. 05]

There were so many aspects of this game that showed promise, but I winced in pain as I watched each one fail to attain noteworthy heights. [Dec 2004, p.175]

Expertly produced with enough sheen in all the right places to make it worth your while, but still flawed enough to be a bit disappointing.

The game has a complex plot and a decent idea with the hacking ID element, but for the most part this is a typical shooter. Stylish graphics are not enough to overcome that.
