Amazon.co.uk Review
Usually video game tie-ins are released at the same time as the movie they’re based on. Sometimes there can be short delay--but twenty years is something else. Ghostbusters never seems to age, though, with the new game a real labour of love for the developer.
Texan developer Terminal Reality first found fame with the PC-based 3D shooter Terminal Velocity in 1995. Since then, this group has created everything from Monster Truck Madness to flight simulator Fly! to the BloodRayne series of vampiric action titles.
 Not all of the ghosts and locations will be recognisable from the movie |
 Some ghosts need to be destroyed--not caught |
 Getting slimed is all part of the fun when you’re a Ghostbuster |
 The Stay Puft Marshmallow Man is back for revenge |
The game features an all new storyline but still manages to replicate most of the major scenes from the films, including the hotel-room capture of New York library ghost, Slimer, and the attack of the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man. Almost all of the original cast are involved, including all four Ghostbusters, the mayor, and even Walter Peck.
The game itself is mission based and has you catching ghosts with your proton packs and then manoeuvring them into a ghost trap--just like the movie. Whether that’s enough to fill a whole game isn’t clear, but the funny dialogue and celebrity voiceovers should help paper over any cracks.
Key Features- Tools of the trade: Use all the same gadgets from the movies, including the iconic proton packs, particle throwers, the ghost-locating PKE meter, and Ecto-goggles.
- Direct-to-game sequel: Bill Murray, Dan Akroyd, Harold Ramis, and Ernie Hudson all reprise their roles from the first two movies, and Akroyd and Ramis wrote the game's story.
- Nice day for a drive: Get behind the wheel of the iconic Ecto-1 vehicle from the movie and chase down the faster-moving ghosts.
- He slimed me: The game features all the most famous ghosts from the first two movies, including Slimer, the terror dogs, the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man, and Vigo.
- New York, New York: The highly detailed environments allow for plenty of collateral damage, as a special counter rates the carnage you’re causing in dollar amounts.

Fun:
I had been putting off buying this for some time as I am a massive fan of the films and feared this would be a massive disappointment.
I was right.
The storyline is good and having the real voices and movie feel is very enjoyable however the cumbersome control system and sheer effort involved to catch a ghost actually makes you dread finding them - which as it is the main goal of the entire game puts quite a dampener on things.
If you find this in a bargain sale go for it as the storyline is worth it - however prepare to gnash your teeth and grow angry with the controls.

Fun:
If you have ever seen the movie and liked it then you are gonna love this game!
I must admit ive always wanted to be a ghostbuster after I saw the movie for the first time and there was no going back after that!
Hearing the proton pack buzz into life in this game is worth the money in itself!
The story is a very compelling and you get heavily involved in whats going on!
It can be slow at times when its portraying the story but with original voices from the cast this is a must have for anyone who saw the movie and liked it!!!

Fun:
Although the game isn't perfect, it's worth it for the story and the voice acting. Wrangling Ghosts can be both rewarding and frustrating at times, and sometimes the combat can be a bit confusing once more than a few spectres get in on the action. Graphics are good and it's overall well polished.
