Customer Reviews

This Is For All Ghostbusters Fans Everywhere!!
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 few.

The voice acting is dead on! You really get the sense that all the original actors really started feeling the Ghostbusters-vibe again, because their performances are magnificent! You really feel like you ARE the newest member of the Ghostbusters! Also, there is constant banter between all the member of the Ghostbusters throughout the missions, and it gives a great sense of realism throughout! Some of their banter is pretty funny too.

Gameplay is excellent. The control scheme is laid out well on the 360 controller, and movement is fluid and smooth. There where a couple of times that I got stuck on something really dumb, like a table, but I just busted out my proton blaster and blew it up to get it out of my way!

In closing, without giving away too much detail about the story, it does take places a couple years after the Ghostbusters 2 movie and continues the path of figuring out more about Gozer and Shandor.

Overall, a MUST have purchase for all Ghostbusters fans and hardcore gamers that have been dying for a Ghostbusters game since the NES and Genesis days.

Go out and buy it right now!!!

Finally! A good Ghostbusters game!
I was about 7 years old when the Ghostbusters were at their peak. 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 with games that are at the top. However, I do have to say that it's probably one of the best movie-based video games yet. I hope they come out with a second one.

This game is like being in the movie
I am 31 years old and seen each movie in the theater. The graphics on this game alone basically are better then the movie.
Its like we are the lead role in the 3rd movie. The comments from all the actors hold true to the original movies. I definately recommend this to any true Ghostbusters fan
