Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Ghostbusters is a solid game.I'll start with the gameplay.
Single Player: In general I would say it's about average for this type of game.By average I mean the game play and controls are good, just nothing revolutionary.Sometimes it gets a little repetitive in spots but all in all a worthy effort.Using the proton pack is fun but loses a little bit of the fun as you use it so much sometimes.
Multiplayer: Good fun with your buddies or other online people.There are modes such as: Survive - survive waves of ghosts, Destruction - basically wreak havok and destroy these ghost container thingies, and Ghost Trapping - Basically trap as many ghosts as you can in the time you have.There are the typical "gun power ups" you can earn along with new costumes, etc.There are weapon spawn points which are helpful so you can shoot different types of projectiles at the ghosts.Overall this is a pretty fun multiplayer but again nothing revolutionary.
As for the story, voice acting, cut scenes:The voice acting is super cool.I mean you just can't beat having the REAL voices of the ghostbusters as you play through the game.It really makes you feel like it's the real deal.The story is well written with the dialogue containing the usual witty banter you've come to expect from the Ghostbusters movies.I thought the cut scenes were well done, actually a little better than I expected.The voices, story and overall ambiance of this game really give it that extra polish that other games sometimes lack.
I would say the gameplay is about 3 to 3.5 stars but the great voice acting and story convinced me to rate this as a 4 star game.Considering most games based on movies are not very good this was a pleasant surprise.If you are a big Ghostbusters fan definitely pick this game up as the voice acting and story alone will bring back great memories.If not or you are on the fence you might consider renting this game first to see if you enjoy it enough to drop the cash on it.
