Ghostbusters: The Video Game (Xbox 360)

It is customary nowadays for most films to get accompanied by a game adaptation. Sadly, game adaptations of films rarely live up to the expectations the film had set. However, Ghostbusters changes this. Over twenty five years later, the popular Ghosbusters series finally earns themselves a decent game tie-in, in the form of a third-person shooter/platforming game. The game follows the newest recruit in the Ghostbusters team, a newbie who tests out the new equipment for the original four Ghostbusters during their ghost-catching work. The player will play this new recruit instead of the older Ghostbusters. The plot focuses on Thanksgiving Day, 1991, when a large ...  Read the complete review

Games with film licenses have never really been much cop - until now! Ghostbusters puts all those rip offs just designed to make money to shame, perhaps because those involved in making the storyline in the game were the original members including Dan Akroyd, Harold Ramis & Bill Murray themselves. Essentially this is Ghostbusters 3. Graphically it is excellent, and the game includes all the tools you would expect such as PK meter, white hearse, firemans pole, traps, and the great title music! Favourite enemies return such as the Marshmallow man & Gozer. Gameplay can be a little niggly and is not perfect - the kids may enjoy this ...  Read the complete review

Having always been a fan of the hugely successful Ghostbusters franchise in all of its forms including the movies, cartoons, toys and of course the theme tune I was absolutely delighted when I heard that they were going to be releasing an all new game on the consoles that would bring together a new story and adventure whilst also staying true to the original films but was it really all just too good to be true? The game itself is put together stunningly well with the original characters being perfectly recreated and used for voice overs of the game itself which has led to the game having a real feel of deja-vu in that everything feels like it did in the films ...  Read the complete review

Ghostbusters I hate to start with a moan, but why? Why did it take a good five months to release the Xbox 360 version (as well as others) of Ghostbusters? I know, it's something to do with the fact that Sony own the rights to Ghostbusters films and wanted to make it a timed exclusive on PS3, but why only in Europe? America could still play it in June, which ticked me off a little bit. Still, it's finally here after the wait and considering the hype it got before its release, I've been carefully excited about this game because of its long development cycle, despite its jump in publishers. Is this a truly worth sequel/game to Ghostbusters or is it so bad it's ...  Read the complete review

Ok I will start with the obvious, I am a massive ghostbuster fan. Ever since I was a kid with the proton pack with a yellow foam photon stream I have wanted to be a ghostbuster. Well if you are anything like me this is your chance, you assume the role of "the rookie" a little play on all those action games where you are a nameless entity! throughout this game you will get a lot of "sport", newbie" and "tigers"! First and formost this game is funny, well funny like the films, if you dont like the ghostbusters humor supprisingly you wont like the ghostbusters game humor. With the original cast returning for authentic voices and ...  Read the complete review
