Sweet game, or sweetest game?

I got the PC version, saved me $30 off the X-Box version's price, & it is a ton of fun. Hell, the game play could suck & the witty banter, good story, & great graphics would make up for it.

But...

The game play is also pretty cool.

Plus, you get to fight a SLOR!

That's why you ignore popular reviews. The Ghostbusters game is AMAZING, considering the source material is more than ten years old and it still stays faithful to it.

I wouldn't trust that magazine's reviews with my life. Their scoring system is atrocious and they have a remarkably narrow pool of taste among their body of reviewers.

The only thing it's good for is exclusive previews.

You know that has been delayed until October in Britain? Why the **** would they do that? It's finished, it's in English... I hate game companies...

Or pirate it, and then buy it later.

There is a demo available on Xbox 360 (prob PS3 and PC Id guess). Seemed pretty boring to me. All I seemed to be able to do was walk (not run but WALK) around with the PKE meter trying to pinpoint a ghost. When I finally find the thing is just zooms off and I get to go find another one. Sure the first mini boss fight was kinda fun but then its right back to walking around with a stupid PKE meter. You can run with it but if you do you lose your first person camera and you can't use the PKE.

At one point I was actually trying to find one and it locked on but wouldn't let me do anything. I think it was showing it through the wall because I had to go up some stairs, back out into the area with the book boss then into another room on the other side before I was truly at it. At this point I was sick of walking around playing hide and seek and turned it off.

Hasn't been a good Ghostbuster game in the history of mankind (WEll the Genesis game was playable), suppose there isn't any reason to think this would differ. The fact it was made by Atari was my first clue that it might be crappy. I suppose it could get better at some point but it seems like from the demo anyways it is a hide and seek game more then a action based blow ghost away type of game. If the whole game isn't like that they picked a poor way to advertise this game using a demo.

Just bought it, and finished it too. Not very long (maybe 8-10 hours, without getting all the hidden extras). I loved it. It felt like another movie. I was really tickled that they got the original cast to do the voices, and the bantering was hilarious.


It isn't. The action picks up really quick once you get to Times Square... :)

The earliest levels do have more "hide-and-seek" than later ones. The early levels are like that, I think, to help get players used to how the game works. It's not your standard run-and-gun shooter; you have to contain and trap a ghost while his buddies are trying to eat your face. There are enemies you just blast into oblivion, though (mostly small minion types). By the end, though, you've fought your way through hundreds of ghosts of all shapes and sizes.


VERY helpful. Thanks for the advice. The Slam Trap is expensive, and you can honestly live without it, even if it makes things easier. The Fast Trap is the first upgrade you should get, though.


QFMFT. The only encounter I had real problems with was the cupid gargoyles in the graveyard. BTW, you know that slamming a 'goyle kills it immediately, right?


QFT. :)
