Ghostbusters: The Video Game

I was pretty sure this game was going to suck, but I ended up buying it for the x360as a huge Ghostbusters fan (especially the first movie), and by golly I love this game. I can think of few things more satisfying then using a proton pack with the authentic sounds to blow up stuff in every level and reel in ghosts like they are fish, along with the sheer creepiness of ectoplasm dripping from the ceilings and creepy kids laughing in the haunted Manhattan library.

I think one of the other huge pluses was that they got all the original actors to come back and do the voices and Harold Ramis and Dan Akroyd to write the story (they wrote the original Ghostbusters screeplay) so the dialogue actually made me laugh out loud on several occasions thus far because the characters feel so real especially, Ray and Egon.

I recommend it for renting at least if you are a fan of the series and own a 360!

P.S. The only really horrible thing is the loading screen when you restart a mission after dying or reloading your game after having the system off, luckily between missions this loading screen doesn't pop up.

Wait, this game is out now? I was in GAME today and I didn't even see it, nor was it in the 'Coming Soon' section. Are we Europeans missing out!?

Yes. Yes we do.

Because of Sony, no less

I liked it well enough. I wish it was longer, and that it had a story that wasn't just a rehashing of the same ghosts from the movies, but yeah, it was fun.

australians don't miss out.

I think there is a different version for the wii with a more cartoony look. I read it in ONM australia.
