"That's why Ghostbusters: The Videogame works. You get to play with a proton gun. You get to fire Boson darts. You get to explore the Fire Station, battle Slimer, fight the marshmallow man, destroy the library and hear Bill Murray do jokes."
\o/ Good enough for me! The double dealings with Sony on this was one of the 3 things that stopped me paying money to the industry nearly two months ago. However a cracking E3 (apart from waggle) and FFVII have cheered me up no end so I'm not so mad now, probably silly to boycott the industry just before E3 in hindsight :) Because I'm in a better mood I'm actually tempted to get this with the Blu (which is gonna be awesome!). (still not buying any DLC tho so they're not off the hook!) |

No mention of the physics and creative destruction, coupled with a bill for the damage? Ellie, fo shame.

RE the 360 version, apparently it does better damage according IGN - from chunks ripping off the Marshmellow Man and embers in the scorch marks on the walls. But that's it, apparently.
AND ITS REGION FREE! |

Best two paragraphs of a review I have read in ages.
Terrahawks was rubbish though. |

"Terrahawks was rubbish though."
I'm tempted to knock your Kamra down for that, but I'm bigger than that ;) How is this rubbish? |

Anyone annoyed with Sony about the 360/Wii/DS versions not hitting Europe immediately hasn't given the situation much thought at all...
Sony SAVED this game for European PS3/PS2 owners. Atari would have waited 6 months before bringing it here, if at all! /doesn't own a PS3 and is annoyed at Atari that he can't get Ghostbusters for 360 without importing :( |

I would be lying if I said that a low or average score would put me off of this game. Its Ghostbusters and I have enjoyed nearly all ghostbusters games from the C64 version onwards.

Its amazing how racist Terrahawks is actually watching it back now, in my youth i didnt notice it at all.
Too busy waiting for them to get to the 'X' and 'O''s at the end credits so i could play a banzai esque game with my dad i guess... BET BET BET!!! Ghostbusts already on preorder :P |

I sure hope she wasn't surreptitiously dissing my Count Duckula pasta..
Too bad this game doesn't score so well, pretending to be a Ghostbuster was in fact my childhood's wettest dream (well that and riding a laser-touting dinosaur, obviously). Might pick this up when I find it cheap.

Thieving bastards!
You can't steal the best comment ever (tm) and use it as your subheading! Well, you can actually, since it's your site, but still... |

So, there's no co-op at all? Even online?
Think there is, there appears to be a co-op video on EG. Not very clear in the review though. Will likely pick this up just for that. |

Sounds like they got the feel of the movies right, and that's probably the biggest selling point for me. I can put up with some slightly outdated game design if the overall experience is fragrantly scented with ectoplasm. :)
Shame I have to import it, but on this occasion I think it will be worth doing. |

"Interesting how Eurogamer Spain gave this game 9/10
http://www.eurogamer.es/articles/los-caz... Based on the sales charts of Spain I don't think they know a lot about good games TBH. Good food though. |

Sounds like to me that the orginal guys who did a tech demo for the game. Would of done it more justice oh well
It did get 7/10, is that not good ? From the reviews that have come in so far, it sounds like its a solid game, and more so if you are a ghostbusters fan (why get it if your not :) Getting this next week, and no 7 out of 10 review is going to stop me :D |
