A flawed third person shooter

Ghostbusters is a flawed game. One that provides plenty of smiles for a fan of the movie franchise, but fails to hold any interest as a game. It is a typical third person shooter, one that tries to in… Read more

Bust! Bust! Bust!

I recommend you to play Ghostbusters.

We never got a movie Ghostbusters 3 so the actors and writers of those 2 classic movies have now made us a videogame, which IS our Ghostbusters 3. End result is a game full of references to movies, bu… Read more

Great fan service, but...

Ghostbusters is a really good game for fans of the property. When I was playing through I wanted to keep playing, not being able to wait to see what was going to happen. Then it ended. Quickly. And I… Read more

Ghostbusters is just ok, Sorry Fanboys.

When the new Ghostbusters game was announced I was giddy with joy at the possibility of trapping some ghouls of my own. That dynamic of the game it does really well. The game makes you feel as if you… Read more

A wasted opportunity

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… Read more

For fans it's a rent at best, but for everyone else, skip it.

Over the course of my life I’ve spent a staggering amount of time quoting movies and one of the main sources for me is Ghostbusters. So when the new Ghostbusters game finally came out I loaded it up w… Read more

Bustin' makes ME feel good...

One of the most gratifying video games based on a movie out now.

I have to admit that I was VERY late to the Ghostbusters party. I knew that it existed, and the special effects at that time were spectacular, and Stay Puft Marshmallow Man was the chosen Destructor-… Read more

If it wasn't a Ghostbusters game....

....I'm not 100% sure I would have sat through the whole thing. It certainly would have received a lower score. I love the movies; yes, I am one of the seemingly few who actually likes the second and… Read more

Lots of Bad mixed with some Good? Not worth the 70% rating.

The long awaited now-gen iteration of a Ghostbusters game finally dropped in June 2009. Released for just about everything under the sun including the Xbox360, PS3, PC and Wii. What we have here is a… Read more

Sadly, Ghostbusters: The Video Game is a big disappointment.

Let's face it; video games derived from movies are oftentimes bound for disaster. A blockbuster in Hollywood almost never equates to a sure fire hit in the gaming world. However, there are exceptions… Read more

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 exp… Read more

That's pretty much as close as it gets

Ghostbusters is the first time someone has been able to nail down the experience everyone envisions a Ghostbusters game being. Bustin' ghosts, saving the city, and trying that pole. The authenticity o… Read more

We Came We Saw!

Yes I did, and I'm very glad I did! First off I am Gozer the Carpathian, which means I HAD to play this game. As a big time Ghostbuster's fan I went into this game with high hopes and to be honest as… Read more

Bustin' still makes me feel good!

Twenty five years ago one film sent both children and adults into hysterics. It had scares, laughs, memorable characters and a gigantic Stay Puft Marshmallow Man; it was everything anyone could ever w… Read more

Bustin' Makes Me.......Satisfied

Licensed games are traditionally bad. Churning out a procession of low quality experiences to take financial advantage of a “synergy” with a popular movie/T.V show has put all but the most naïve of ga… Read more

The Legend of Slimer: The Proton Pack of Time.

A mediocre game that is elevated by it's content

Ghostbusters --The Video Game--, succeeds in combining a fun story, entertaining voice acting, and third person shooty gameplay. While it does all of these things adequately, it does none of them exce… Read more

Was Ghostbusters: The Video Game worth the wait?

Ghostbusters: The Video Game is one of those rare licensed games that is so close to the source material, and yet the story by itself can hold it's own without the support of any of the movies with wh… Read more

The best Ghostbusters game yet!
