Product Description

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.
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.
About the Developer: Terminal Reality
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.

Fun:   
ive been waiting for this game for about 3 years when it was first anounced, back when it was a gta sandbox game

and i am not dissapointed

i am a huge ghostbusters fan and this game did not let me down

i got it on christmas day and i love it, anyway, opinions, starting with cons

cons
-the gameplay can be very samey all the time, i can see why people would get board
-sometimes the graphics can be a bit dated
-im not fond of the proton pack upgrades, i tend to use the origional beam

pros
-it is very faithful to ghostbusters, with the same actors, and also it constantly feels like ghostbuster, with the script, ghosts, scenes, you can imagine them in the films, perfect. nothing seems out of place at all.
-the graphics are most of the time beautiful. when your in a dark place like the stay puft part of the game firing your proton pack and catching the ghosts it is an orgy for the eye. im glad it was on ps3 first, because i have not experienced the lag those ps3 playing monkeys complained about.
-the story (of what ive played so far) is excelent, the way they have found ways of bringing back old movies scenes without being exactly the same is wonderful
-blasting ghosts is fun, blasting the scenery and watching it all get destroyed is fun, capturing ghosts is fun and extreamly satisfying

people say it is the same, but what do you expect? they capture ghosts on the film, what do you expect from the game?you also spend time with the PKmeter looking for clues and items, and the puzzles are eeasy, but a few still make you think

im glad it didnt get relesed as a sandbox game, it would be a failure, riding from the HQ to where the ghosts were would be boring considering you wouldnt be able to run down pedestrians, shoot things, and obviously there wont be any/many ghosts around while driving. everybody who thinks this is the reason it fails, because its not a GTA/ghostbuster game, really think about would it work, the answser being NO

beautiful game, the best game based on a film i have every played, the only one tht feels like the film, truly amazing

By J. Pike TOP 1000 REVIEWER VINE™ VOICE
Fun:   
Several months after release on the PS3 UK Xbox players finally get a chance to see what all the hype was all about. However many people couldn't wait and those sneaky Americans made there version Region free so many people just ordered the US version instead.

I find the game pretty hard to rate as it is good fun and has excellent Game play and graphics, it's just pretty short, pretty easy and has very little replay value. I had done everything I could in about 4 days except online play.

The game itself contains a new story for our ghost busting heroes and includes the voices of all the original actors. It is the best thing we can hope for after the 2 brilliant films (especially the first).

The environment is pretty rigid and you have to go wherever the game decides and does not include free roam around New York which would have been great fun. What you do see looks fantastic though. It would also be nice if the character you got to play actually spoke instead of being a mute and looking pretty gormless throughout.

Overall this game is good fun to play however maybe wait for a drop before handing over your hard earned.

4 Stars.

Fun:   
Have to say, i've always love the ghostbusters films and this games highlights exactly what we all loved in the old films! I'm 19 btw ;)

Most of the old cast are back and the voice acting is beyond amazing! Light-hearted in any situation makes it a much less serious game keeping the comedic value! The graphics are also very good!

The gameplay is very repetitive but somehow it works! Various locations, puzzle-solving, capturing ghosts, weapon variation etc! More than entertaining! At times it does get hard but battle through none-the-less! One thing i did love was that you normally have a team member with you providing comical comments!

You can also upgrade equipment and skills but this is beyond easy to do! Not exactly struggling for money in this game!

The difference between this and the films is that you fight in demon worlds occassionally but it's mainly based around New York! Multi-player isn't amazing but with 4 of you over xbox live, would be funny!

Definitely worth a rent! Not sure about the buy!
