Ghostbusters fans should love it. Others should still enjoy it.

What can I say that hasn't already been said a lot since this game has now been out a while? For me, this was EXACTLY the game I had been waiting my whole life to play. My only real complaint is that I wish it never had to end. I LOVED this game. I literally had to MAKE myself stop playing it in order to get a chance to move on to my other games. I still pop this in and play it from time to time.

Ghostbusters fans should love this game. I am convinced that other people should enjoy it as well, even if they aren't huge Ghostbusters fans. This game made me actually feel like one of the Ghostbusters. I can almost suspend my disbelief and imagine I actually am wrangling ghosts into the traps.
A lot of the old places and ghosts we know and love come back, and the game also adds some more. Some of the lip synching is off during cut scenes, but who really cares? It wasn't TOO bad, and all I cared about was that I was getting a new Ghostbusters story with all of the actual actors' voices, and I was getting to BE A PART OF IT!
The controls take some getting used to, but that is actually a compliment. After all, if you really became a Ghostbuster, don't you think the proton pack would take some getting used to? Is this game perfect? No, but then when is anything ever perfect? To me, this was THE game I had been waiting my life to play.

If you are a Ghostbusters fan you are sure to like this game. It's very fun and just like the movie in every aspect but is fairly easy to beat. My six-year-old Son was able to beat the game on medium difficulty in about a week. He still loves playing the game and is now playing it again on the hardest level. You can play single player or multi-player online where you play for and accumulate points and unlock different weapons and upgrades. There is only one problem that I see with the game. It freezes … more

Fans have been clamoring for more Ghostbusters since the second movie was released twenty years ago. Though no movie is yet in the works, when all of the original actors (minus Rick Moranis and Sigourney Weaver) signed on to do the video game, it was time for rejoicing. The overall plot of the game has the player playing as a new recruit to the Ghostbusters. The crew has all kinds of new and highly dangerous experimental equipment that's never been tested and as the new guy, that's what you get … more

The Ghostbusters, when the films were first released in the 80s, featured a cast of some of the best known names in comedy of that decade. I don't think I can conjure up a memory or thought of a film or TV show that matches the comic brilliance and originality of the first two Ghostbusters movies. Harold Ramis, Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd and Ernie Hudson have not combined their skills since those movies until this marvellous video game. The four original Ghostbusters including a few other original … more

I wanted to love this game so bad. All of the key original actors and actresses (from Bill Murray to Annie Potts) were involved in the creation of the game and their voices were used for their characters. Slimer, the Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man and others also return. The proton packs, PKE meters and all of Egon's other wonderful gadgets were also used in this game. So what's not to like? Numerous gameplay-interrupting cutscenes (some funny, some not), half-hearted controls, … more

I was impressed when I found out that the original creators and stars of the Ghostbusters movie were consulted to bring an all-new story to the video platform. Their likenesses and voices are included as well. The idea of the game is that you are a trainee, and so on the easy level (there are 3 levels of play), it's also like a training mission. By participating in the adventure, it's easy to figure out how and when to use the different devices. T … more
