    Best Buy and see if they have this game!

    If you're a fan of Ghostbusters, this game is a must have. Not only are all of the original actors back (except Rick Moranis for some odd reason), but the graphics do a fantastic job of recreating the team and their environment.

    As for weapons, the Proton pack is back in all of its glory, as well several new experimental weapons designed by Egon.

    My only complaint would be the game was way too short and left me wanting more, but who I am to complain? THE GHOSTBUSTERS ARE BACK!

    The game was fairly short, but nonetheless a great one. This game was MUCH more than I expected. The weapons you used were fun and all served and intricate part to the gameplay.

    A little on the short side, but a fun game nonetheless. Could've been a bit better, though.

    And honestly, how many times is one person expected to hear "Ow, that was OWWW there!" in one sitting and not go mad?

    I really dig this game, and think it was a great way to put Ghostbusters into a game. Tons of upgrades and variety of weapons make the game interesting, and keep it different. There's also room for replays with hidden artifacts and things to scan and collect. Great game, definitely check it out.

    The classic return of men who seek out and capture 'evil' spirits for a living. Ghostbusters: The Video Game seems to carry on the concept of the Ghostbusters movies and by rights almost becomes the 3rd movie.

    Graphics and story line are excellent and fun, even though the gameplay becomes a little redundant, the entertainment of the game is consistant. From seeking out the ghosts, using various elements on your proton pack to laying down ghost traps, you can never get enough of the thrills.

    A great game such as this falls short with it being a quick game to complete, but its great conceptual story line makes up for any short comings. Any fan of Ghostbusters would regret not giving this game a go, after all... who you gonna call?

    This game is one of the best, most fun games I have played in a very very long time. The game play is great, the graphics are very good, the story is well written and tied in very well. Everything about it really just kicks ass! Getting to fight stay puft and actually trap ghosts and shoot proton packs is just bad ass.... get this game, you will not be disappointed.

    9/10 - Graphics 8/10: As I placed the disk into my 360, I thought back to the preview screenshots I had seen a couple weeks ago. To me, the graphics lookied like a 360 launch title's, which isn't that bad. I was proven wrong, however, once I saw the game in motion. Everything in the game seems full of life, or rather, afterlife, and the vibrant colors lend to the atmosphere of the original films. The actors' virtual counterparts looked barely different than they did in the second movie and locations from the films are replicated perfectly. Almost every location an be fully destroyed with no consequences whatsoever. My only problem was that the voices didn't sync with the characters in some scenes, much akin to an old old Jackie Chan movie. Overall the graphics are on par with most games today.

    Story 9/10: The story is something that personally, I feel, shines the most in this game. The game was written by the very same two legendsthat wrote the movies, Dan Aykroyd and Harold Ramis. It was written as if it was a third movie in the franchise and pulls it off really well. I don't want to give anything away but the designers kept some things in mind from the films that they knew you would want to do in the game.

    Gameplay 9/10: This is another category in which I think this game shines the most. The Heads up display (HUD) is primarily on your Proton pack, making the experience all the more immersive. You technically have unlimited "ammo" on your pack but you'll have to vent the pack every so often to keep it from overheating and leaving you vulnerable for a short time. The game autosaves frequently and quickly with virtually no load times except between chapters. The achievements are a good mix of unbelievably easy (slide down the firepole) to hardcore (overachiever) and a few more achievements for doing fun/weird things on each level as well as your standard level/game completion and collectibles. All I could think while I tracked and trapped ghosts and fought bosses epic in size was "Damn this game is fun!" There is a decent amount of replay value and extras to look at and mess with such as concept art and cutscenes.

    Multiplayer 7/10
    No local co-op, which it automatically loses a point on the multiplayer there. The multiplayer is something I haven't delved too deep into but I can say that it promotes communication with your partners (granted not as much as Gears of War 2) and is pretty fun. It spans several 3 level "Job" campaigns that range from Slimer Dunk to a Horde-like survival mode. I acquired a couple of rank ups and a new uniform during my time online but I have no idea what they mean. The only problem I experienced was the protection "job" was incredibly difficult and I never won it once out of ten attempts. The online achievements are rumored to be glitched but I personally haven't experienced it.

    Overall - Fan Factor
    As a fan of Ghostbusters since I was really little, its kind of a dream of mine to wield a Proton pack and trap ghosts with the original team, even if it is virtual. The original cast returns to voice their respective characters with the exceptions of Rick Moranis and Sigourney Weaver. The developers cleverly mask Rick's absence but I didn't hear Sigourney's character mentioned. I don't know why they didn't participate, its not like they have anything else to do. Little easter eggs have been strung throughout the game for the hardcore fans and the newbies will get a kick out of them too. I think, for a Ghostbuster fan, this game is a must buy but for those on the fence, rent first So go trap some ghosts and remember...

    When there's something strange....in the neighborhood.....who ya gonna call?! GHOSTBUSTERSSSS!

    Why in the hell did it take them soooo long to make this game. No I don't mean the actually time of production, I mean the time between the NES game, and this one.

    Ghostbuster fan.....you'll love this game. Don't know who the Ghostbusters are? You'll love this game.
