    A Fantastic Experience ofGhostbustin ruined-

    Before i start let me say one thing - I Love Ghostbusters, i adore the films and was especially exited about the game because it was set up as the third movie.
    The game plays exactly how you would expect with you playing as a new recruit of the Ghostbusters, you're able to interact with all the characters from the films who all have brilliant voice acting and an excellent script, all these Elements are ruined by the Draconian Difficulty of the Game/PC Version.

    The Mechanics of Busting Ghosts are very fun with you wearing ghosts down, then setting a trap and pulling them into it using your Proton Pack, this part of the gameplay is fantastic and you feel like you're in one of the ghostbusters movies.
    The world of the Ghostbusters comes to life with a solid graphics engine thats not stylistic nor realistic, it just looks like You Would Expect Ghostbusters to look, the music is Spot-On and helps to immerse you in your role as a Ghostbuster.

    The Primary Problem with Ghostbusters is its Ridiculous Difficulty With you Being Killed By Two or Three hits in the second level(Which happens to involve you chasing down the Stay Puft Marchmallow man), this over the top difficulty comboed with a terrible save system has ruined the Third Installment of Ghostbusters for me and I, After about 4 hours of trying to progress through one section of the second level Am DONE with this Stupid Game.

Although the levels are bland, environmental effects, such as possessed books flying around, are a nice touch. Ultimately, the game is just not th...

      A wasted opportunity 0

      Ghostbusters is a decent game that's possibly the first to somewhat deserve being part of the franchise. However, it isn't without its shortcomings, and non-fans will have a hard time getting past its dodgy gameplay. The omission of any multiplayer mode for the PC version also relegates this game to one you'd borrow or rent, rather than buy (although some might be drawn by the lower retail price). The game puts you in the shoes of the aptly-named Rookie who joins the Ghostbusters as a trialist....
