StarCraft: Ghost is a military sci-fi 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
In the singleplayer campaign of StarCraft: Ghost you play as a female character named Nova. Nova can use stealth to silently take down enemies like Zergs and Terran guards as well use a vast arsenal of different weapons such as assault and sniper rifles, grenades, shotguns, and flamethrowers. Players can also use traps to get rid of the enemies, drag bodies of the dead enemies to hide them while in stealth mode, search dead bodies for extra ammo and other resources, ride many different vehicles on some missions, perform hacking sequences to gain access to some of the information or to progress further down into the level (with Nova's cloaking ability), and use thermal goggles and an EMP device which can be used for many advantages on certain level parts or over enemies.
