I know I know. I am late to the party. I did mean to get this game ages ago. Instead I didn't. Do I have a good reason. Yes! well I probably did and now just cant remember it as it was so ago.
So the game was really what I thought it was going to be. You playing as some no name dude that is getting dragged along for the ride, while the rest of the ghostbusters are caught up in some slime filled story that involves "Gozer the Gozerian" (got to love that name).
The models of the characters look good apart from the eyes sometimes the eyes look freaky, like pull you into another dimension then rip apart the world around you, while monster made of books try to knock you over (Which does happen in one if the levels around the middle of the game). Getting knocked over is a pain in the ass on the hardest level (professional) I have found myself spending more time trying to pick the AI characters up than shooting at ghosts. The load time is a bit of a joke too. I don't know why but it takes way to long to load up the same level that you have just been playing. Some of the minor ghosts can wipe out your whole team with one projectile. The Hobo ghosts are the worst for this. I guess I cant blame them for being pissed that some jacked up dude went around and started stabbing Hobos to turn them into ghosts probably Jeff.
The online multiplayer at this point is hunted ( I know) by six people. They have a 360 sitting in the corner of an abandoned room constantly waiting for someone to join there game will rocking back and forth in a grey boiler suit that they picked up from some dead guy at a chemical plant.
Ghostbusters is not a great game, unless you are a fan of the Ghostbusters. This is the closet thing that we will ever get to a new film with the original cast. I know that I will play it a few times in the years to come as I will want to go over the story again, simply because I want to do something where I trap ghosts with a proton pack. I do wish they had used more of the films soundtrack.
