Ghostbusters: The Video Game (PS3)

INTRODUCTION Ghostbusters played a massive part in my childhood. The cartoon series was the highlight of my post-school afternoons, the films were (in my child-like mind) the epitome of cinematic achievement, and the toys and action figures my most prized possessions. Suffice to say, being such a huge fan of the Ghostbusters as a child means I am still equally as much of a fan in adulthood. Somewhere in my mothers loft the toys still reside.

You begin the game as "The Rookie" fighting alongside the original Ghostbusting team of Ray, Egon, Winston and Peter and what immediately struck me was how life like the ...  Read the complete review
