Pro-G has some hands on impressions of Starcraft Ghost (http://www.pro-g.co.uk/previews/pid/889/84/) for the Xbox, PS2, and GameCube. The stealth-action game from Blizzard has had its problems, but seems to be back on track.

The stealth sections really do show the game's true potential, however. They actually look quite fun for a start, which is a nice change from the majority of other po-faced stealth games. Obviously the key component of the stealth sections is the cloaking ability. It also has one of the most sensible implementations of a cloaking device that I've ever seen. You see, it only drains the cloak's energy when you move, allowing you to wait indefinitely for enemies to drop their guard.
Next year can’t come soon enough.

When I was at E3 walking thru the crowed A guy in front of me turned to the man he was walking with, pointed at the SCG setup they had for multiplayer and said that alot of the guys working on it use to work under him at Midway.

I really wish they would push this to the next gen consoles and spend a little more time polishing. I'm afraid that by the time this thing releases, next gen hype will be in full swing and this game won't garner the large market attention that it could/should.

Not holding my breath for this one. If I remember right, I think it was one of those games they advertised for in the XBOX's box when you bought it.

Uh, they do change those ads from time to time, I'm pretty sure. (I know Sony and Nintendo do, at least.)

Three years from now can't come soon enough either.

I will build a time machine travel to the future and post a review.

I can't figure out at which point I stopped caring about this game...all I know is it feels like a long time ago.

I have high hopes for this one. I don't know what people from Midway could do to make it a good game, but I have faith in Blizzard and if it allows me to play 3rd-person close-up Starcraft, COOL! Especially since there's no word on a Starcraft 2!
