StarCraft: Ghost is a third-person shooter game featuring stealth and action mechanics set in StarCraft universe which was mainly developed by Blizzard Entertainment and co-developed by Nihilistic Software and Swingin' Ape Studios for the PlayStation 2, Xbox and GameCube consoles.

Gameplay

You play as a female character Nova. Nova can use stealth to silently takedown enemies like Zergs and Terazine guards as well using a vast arsenal of different weapons such as assault and sniper rifles, grenades, shotguns, and flamethrowers and also using traps to get rid of the enemies. Player can also drag bodies of the dead enemies to hide them while being in stealth mode, search dead bodies for extra ammo and other resources, as well riding many different vehicles on some missions, perform hacking sequences to gain access to some of the information or just progress further down into the level, using Nova's cloaking ability, thermal goggles and EMP device which can be used for many advantages on certain part of the levels or enemies.

Availability

Originally on the 16th of February NeoGAF forums user Stranno[1], made a post about a leaked 2003 build of the StarCraft: Ghost game which included some screenshots of the game explaining while also providing some features list and some technical information on how to run it for example and many other details. With that post there was also included a 40 minute gameplay footage which was posted on YouTube showing 2-6 levels of the game, excluding the first level called "Sabotage". Even though the 2003 build of the game got leaked, it wasn't made that easily accessible to the public assuming for a legal or any other reasons.
