Ghostbusters Game Review

Who ya gonna call? Your local game store.

Ghostbusters has everything and more for the Ghostbusters fan in everyone. Even the voices are played by the original cast of the films including but not limited to Dan Aykroyd, Ernie Hudson, Bill Murray, Harold Ramis and the secretary Janine played by Annie Potts. The only voices missing are Sigourney Weaver and the nerdy apartment tenant Rick Moranis.
As the story goes, you are selected as the new recruit of the Ghostbusters team and used as a guinea pig on all the latest gadgets and equipment. Ray Stantz walks you through the tutorial in the first level explaining how the equipment works and it's very thorough. Ghostbusting equipment is upgradable as the recruit discovers cursed artifacts hidden in the levels by using the PKE meter and collecting samples of ghosts for Ray Stantz's research. One added perk for collecting artifacts is that they later appear as household items in the fire house.

For game quality, at times it does seem like the player is being led through the game with limited free roam. But there are moments of massive game play when fighting the Stay Puft Marshmallow man and roaming the cemetery while fighting ghostly terrors.

Ghostbusters will bring back memories of the films and introduce new fans into the world of ghostbusting until the next film in 2012. Unless the world comes to an end based on the Mayan calendar, then you should get this game as soon as possible.
