Ghostbusters: The Video Game

I should inform you that this review is incredibly biased. I'm a Ghostbuster junkie; I can't get enough of `em. I grew up with the Ghostbusters movies, cartoons, toys, and the crappy 8-bit video games. I loved every bit of it--even the terrible games. Even so, I was a bit skeptical of developer Terminal Reality's attempt to revive the Ghostbusters franchise. How could a video game capture what Terminal Reality promised: a third movie in video game form?

I'm happy to report that Ghostbusters the Video Game is precisely that: a playable Ghostbusters 3 for your PlayStation 3 or Xbox 360. It's got everything you'd want in a new movie: ghosts, spooky visuals, great music, and the full Ghostbusters cast (with two exceptions, which I'll note later). If you've been dreaming of a new Ghostbusters movie, you can't do much better than this for the time being.

Ghostbusters toys were every where, GB cartoons, GB cereal, video games, etc. I played the old Ghostbusters game as a kid and I was very disappointed. A million years later, I heard that it was going to be released for all major consoles. As soon as I caught a glimpse of the game play footage, my jaw dropped. This is the Ghostbusters game that I always wanted to play!

I hardly ever pay $60 for games. Usually, I'll wait until the prices go down, but I made an exception for this game. Let me tell you Ghostbusters fans..you won't be disappointed! You actually get to catch and trap ghosts. You also get to use the PKE ghost meter. Best part is that this game has very tight and neat graphics, too! My friends, who also grew up during the Ghostbusters era, were impressed with the game. Overall, it's a fun game and seems to be geared towards Ghostbusters fans. No, it's not perfect and it can't compete...Read more

Finally, after years of being a fan and waiting for another possible movie, all I wanted was another Ghostbusters experience to bring me right back to my childhood.

And did they ever deliver!!!

This game is everything any fan has ever wanted out of the Ghostbusters franchise!!

In the beginning of the game, as you go through the tutorial, the moment you pull the trigger to use the proton pack for the first time, it sends shivers down your spine and you find yourself just running around shooting at inanimate objects because the thrill of actually using the proton pack is amazing!!

The game has a wonderful story line of you being the new rookie joining the Ghostbusters, and you get to be the guinea-pig to test out their newest upgrades and modifications to the proton pack.

There are many different locations in the game including: the Ghostbusters HQ (which you can explore!), the Sedgwick Hotel and Central Park to name a...Read more
