I am a ghost buster fan, but this game piss’ me off right after the “gate control hour of fun” it turns into “Lego star wars” and is more of a “figure out how to keep on having fun game” Disapointed.

To be honest, I almost gave this a -3. However, even though it’s nothing new or amazing, the game is very solid and fun to play. I think what really makes this game good is the mood. Every event has the perfect mood: some levels, like the library and the graveyard, were so creepy I had trouble playing the game late at night. The visuals and dialogue were very well put together (even if the dialogue was a bit cheesy at times).

This actually ran perfect on the PS3 for me. No “lag” in the video. I just thought it didn’t live up to the hype. It wasn’t worth the money either but it has some good points to it. Some of the bosses were kind of interesting, but I was sort of hoping for more. Some locations displayed some nice level design, and good atmosphere too. The game suffered from the classic final boss too damn easy syndrome though. Like Bioshock, Jericho, both Diablo games, Resistance 2, RE5, JA, Max Payne 2… just games off the top of my head. It’s odd how so many of these games have really weak end-game bosses. Even that pathetic Killzone 2 had a joke of a boss. I will never understand why anyone thought that final section was difficult. I will say though that the final boss in Ghostbuster looked cool. It was awesome to have all the original actors back reprising their roles too. There was a bit of repetition with Bill’s lines though. A good game to rent for sure but not to buy.

I hope Batman is good. It’s out next week and the demo is great, perfect really, and the pc version’s controls were smooth and felt good like the PS3 version which was a plus. I just hope the game is long and the end boss is good.

PS not buying L4D 2. I like the ORIGINAL characters. That’s what sucked me into the game. Valve sucks.

yeah I thought Sony was releasing it in Europe but it might have been delayed a bit.

Well the only part off the story that was in the gameplay was some of the jokes said while walking to the ghosts. Also P Marsh I agree I hated walking slowly in gears and some other games started doing that I wish they would stop.

I had no troubles on the Xbox. The multiplayer is pretty satisfying after you get through the initial disappointment of no co-op campaign. Although it could have made it better, not weaving the plot into the gameplay more was a good decision since the game could get really distracting when having to listen to exposition while fighting off a large wave of ghosts. Or perhaps have it end up like Gears of War where you spend large periods just walking slowly to your next room.

The boss battles made the in game action weird. The levels felt like falling action after each boss battle. I would have thought it would have gotten a negative 3 at least for the multilayer. I found it really boring and had a fair bit of lag(but I played it on the ps3 so I don’t know how it is on the x box).
