So I've now beaten Ghostbusters twice now on my Xbox 360, and for the most part it has been a pretty entertaining experience. One thing I would like is for other family members, who aren't really gamers, to experience Ghostbusters. The problem lies in that they would probably get bored watching me play through the six hours of game. So why not offer a movie mode after the game has been completed?

One thing that really help make Ghostbusters stand out from other movie tie-ins is that the game was written as though it were a movie experience; and in playing through the game it feels just that way. The game was pretty linear, only offering a little exploration; but for the most part you, as the player, was directed through the narrative.

So why not allow someone to just set the game to movie mode, and just watch the game play itself? Where gameplay is involved, the game instead would play through scripted sequences to allow for the characters to get their lines in, as well as some action scenes. If executed well, the game itself could become a movie, allowing for those not interested in watching someone play the game experience the Ghostbusters storyline and humor.

But then it wouldn't be a game.

Why not put some time into it and make a youtube video with just the cutscenes?  

Metal Gear solid did this with metal gear subsistance pack on the ps2 - it came with an extra disc which was basically the whole of mgs3 - cut together with gameplay recorded between the cutscenes - apparently a lot of people had trouble completing that game, so the decision to make the story an experiance for everyone was taken

Why not just sit down and watch the actual movies with them?
