Rating: 4 / 5
Nothing much can let a guy down like me when I get a game in which I get to be a ghostbuster. The effects in the game are great! The skin textures, hair, and clothes all done very well! And the best part is that the proton packs are just like the movie with more new weapons to boot.
Granted it can be a pain to catch a ghost, but heck its part of the challenge.
This game is ghostbusters meets Doom 3. In fact I think this game does better then Doom 3 or most games when it comes to the gaming graphics.
The fact that it’s recommended to have 4gb memory, intel Core 2duo or better and 512 mb of video memory tells me that this game and others are moving up to the next level of gaming.
The storyline also kept me interested, I kept playing this for hours on end on my PC…so i can imagine those who have this on 360 might get hooked, especially in multiplayer mode.
Very enjoyable game!

I have reviewed the game and think it is alright. Basically, fans of the original movies and cartoon series will love this title while gamers unfamiliar with the source material will probably shy away from this in favor of better games (such as Gears Of War 2). Good graphics, great sound, and repetitive gameplay make it an OK game overall that is held together by a great story. 5 out of 5 stars for past Ghostbusters fans and 3 out of 5 stars for gamers that aren’t Ghostbusters fans. One thing I didn’t mention in my original game review was just how fun the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man level was. I feel like it was what should have been in the original movie.
The Slimer edition is really something that Ghostbusters fans should purchase. The ECTO-1 keychain is alright, I will probably never use it. The same goes for the puffy plastic stickers. However, the Slimer plastic sculpture is great. It retains the look of Slimer form the first movie with some slight modifications. I was disappointed to find out that it didn’t actually glow (the pictures that Amazon use make it look like Slimer actually glows, as if batteries are inserted into the Ghostbusters sign) but that is something that is minor. The inclusion of Slimer bumps up my score to a total of 4 our of 5 stars. It really enhanced the experience and is something that Ghostbuster fans should have. I just wish that Amazon also would have given us a Stay Puft Marshmallow Man option as he is my absolute favorite ghost (actually a form of Gozer) from the movies and series (although the Boogieman from the cartoon series was pretty interesting).
Again, I only recommend this purchase for Ghostbusters fans as it is rather expensive but I do think that it is well worth the price.

If you’re a Ghostbusters fan, this game is a must. If you’ve watched the first movie more than three times and would watch it again, then you should buy the game, no more reading necessary. If you’re just a fan of video games, this game does something that I would have once thought impossible. It creates a feel that is something akin to the lovechild between a first-person-shooter and a fishing game and makes it feel perfectly natural. That alone should interest you enough to give the game a chance. It is short and the voice acting is at times sub-quality of what you’d expect out of the talent backing the game, but still well worth playing and better than 90% of the voice acting in the gaming world. Take a chance on this one.

The game is a lot of fun and really adds to the first two movies. The gameplay is fun and the storyline is entertaining. Would buy it again.
The Slimer statue is sweet! Defiantly worth the Slimer edition!
