The best Ghostbusters game yet! ( X360 )
We have been waiting over 10 years for another ghostbusters game on home consoles, and not since Ghostbusters on Sega Genisis were we given anything worth plaing.  Well finally, Atari delivered us a Ghostbusters game not just worth playing, but worth owning.When the game was first announced I didn't even ...

Bustin' makes ME feel good... ( X360 )
Now, being only a year old at the time of the Ghostbusters 2 and being just a wee lad while The Real Ghostbusters was at its apex in popularity, I can't say for certain how exactly I managed to become such a Ghostbusters fan.  In fact, for years, the only ...

For fans it's a rent at best, but for everyone else, skip it. ( X360 )
Over the course of my life I’ve spent a staggering amount of time quoting movies and one of the main sources for me is Ghostbusters. So when the new Ghostbusters game finally came out I loaded it up with a youthful excitement thinking that I was going to take a ...

Ghostbusters: The Video Game (PS3) - Review ( PS3 )

Who ya gonna call? ( X360 )
When you think of Ghostbusters and video games, there isn't a whole lot that comes to mind. After a almost uncertain developement fase, Ghostbusters has finally released, but not as a movie tie in. That's because Ghostbusters the game is a sequel to the movies.    Anyone who wasa huge fan ...

Refined? No. Awesome? Y-E-S. ( PC )
I need to get the bad stuff out of the way so when I go off about the awesome bits I can do it knowing the other stuff's out of the way.  Probably the most annoying thing are the inconsistencies: this game is a prime perpetrator in the "contrived video ...

Capturing ghosts has never been this fun before! ( X360 )
If you've ever watched the movies, you will no doubt enjoy the comical value of this game, but some of the flaws make for a very frustrating experience.Concept    The Ghostbuster game brings capturing ghosts to the gamer in a way never before seen. Nothing can quite describe how fun it ...

Ghostbusters (Wii) Review: An Overlooked Wii Title ( WII )
My First Review, Kotaku style. Ghostbusters: The Video Game for the Nintendo Wii has been neglected. Reviews around the interweb about Ghostbuster's red headed stepchild have been lazily copied and pasted without an actual detailed look on the Wii's unique control scheme and graphic design. Does the controller melt into ...

A mediocre game that is elevated by it's content ( X360 )
Ghostbusters --The Video Game--, succeeds in combining a fun story, entertaining voice acting, and third person shooty gameplay. While it does all of these things adequately, it does none of them exceptionally, and for this Ghostbusters suffers. Overall the game lacks polish. The in-game cut-scenes animate janky, as do many ...

The Legend of Slimer: The Proton Pack of Time. ( PS3 )
Whether its Tony Montana not dying in his mansion and thus given the chance for revenge over the comeuppance he never got, or Don Corleone asking a nameless grunt to engage in blockbuster-style gun shootouts with rival gangs, there’s something undisputedly unholy about video games based on old movies. The ...

Bustin' Makes Me.......Satisfied ( PS3 )
Licensed games are traditionally bad. Churning out a procession of low quality experiences to take financial advantage of a “synergy” with a popular movie/T.V show has put all but the most naïve of gamers off such titles. There has however been somewhat of a turn in the tide on this ...

Bustin' still makes me feel good! ( PS3 )
Twenty five years ago one film sent both children and adults into hysterics. It had scares, laughs, memorable characters and a gigantic Stay Puft Marshmallow Man; it was everything anyone could ever want from an epic comedy, fully cementing itself as one of the all-time classics of modern cinema. Developers ...

We Came We Saw! ( X360 )
Yes I did, and I'm very glad I did! First off I am Gozer the Carpathian, which means I HAD to play this game.  As a big time Ghostbuster's fan I went into this game with high hopes and to be honest as far as "Ghostbusterness" I wasn't disappointed.  Any and ...

That's pretty much as close as it gets ( X360 )
Ghostbusters is the first time someone has been able to nail down the experience everyone envisions a Ghostbusters game being. Bustin' ghosts, saving the city, and trying that pole. The authenticity of the experience is far and away better than nearly every other big name movie game on the market. ...

A wasted opportunity ( PC )
Ghostbusters is a decent game that's possibly the first to somewhat deserve being part of the franchise. However, it isn't without its shortcomings, and non-fans will have a hard time getting past its dodgy gameplay. The omission of any multiplayer mode for the PC version also relegates this game to ...

Sadly, Ghostbusters: The Video Game is a big disappointment. ( X360 )
Let's face it; video games derived from movies are oftentimes bound for disaster. A blockbuster in Hollywood almost never equates to a sure fire hit in the gaming world. However, there are exceptions to the rule, as some of these games will build upon an existing movie franchise, crafting their ...

One of the most gratifying video games based on a movie out now. ( X360 )
I have to admit that I was VERY late to the Ghostbusters party. I knew that it existed, and the special effects at that time were spectacular, and Stay Puft Marshmallow Man was the chosen Destructor- but I never saw the full film. A week before I knew the game ...

The long awaited now-gen iteration of a Ghostbusters game finally dropped in June 2009. Released for just about everything under the sun including the Xbox360, PS3, PC and Wii. What we have here is a 3rd person shooter style action game, except you use proton packs instead of guns. I ...
