Ghostbusters....Yea, we're back!

Re: Ghostbusters....Yea, we're back!

The normal setting wasn't too hard for me, there were maybe 3 things that had me dying over and over until I figured it out.

My 8 yr old son just beat the game on the easy setting and the graveyard was still a pain in the butt. I played on normal and think the thing of it is that:

1) There are just a few areas where enemy swarms, plus 1 hit type kills and the game engine all combine to provide frustration.

2) On the higher difficulties it just seems to take longer to suck the energy out of a ghost.

Overall an average game made a lot of fun by incredible use of a license. They really have set the bar as far as licensed games go.

I'm a wimp and played through on Easy/Casual, because I really wanted to enjoy the story and not die a lot in the process LOL. I'll do it again on Normal next.

Excellent game overall. The ending was a little odd though.

Spoiler

What was the deal with the light still spewing into the sky after everything was 'done'? Do all the ghosts that were released when the grid was shut off have to be recaught again (Slimer for example)? I missed the cheering crowd at the end too...but it WAS in the cemetary! lol

Just picked this game up and WOW it's so cool. This game is soooo fun. Just makes me want to play it over and over. I love GB and this game just fun. I haven't played any online or co op but, if it's anything like playing now I can't wait.

I didn't think it was too bad either. There's a learning curve at first just getting used to how the character handles (third-person, but almost plays like its in first-person) and some of the early upgrades are almost "must haves." There were only two parts in the game that had me dying more than 2 times and both were areas in the game where you had to fight a lot of enemies with help from just one ghostbuster (who would die, constantly). Otherwise, the set-up is pretty forgiving and if you get knocked out there's usually a healthy ghostbuster to get you back on your feet. There were no moments where I wanted to throw the controller or anything.

Re: Ghostbusters....Yea, we're back!

Beat the game this morning, very fun game. I think I beat it in 7 hours, so not very long. This will definitely be a game I play through again in the future.

Re: Ghostbusters....Yea, we're back!

I've been playing this since yesterday and it's fun. I am also disappointed that there are so many ghosts which makes it feel like a shooter rather than an adventure, but the Stay Puff level was really enjoyable to me (I just completed that).

Fun game and I'm looking forward to completing it. Lots of things I forgot about the Ghostbusters that this is bringing back.

Re: Ghostbusters....Yea, we're back!

Just finished it up...got all the Achievements (save the Professional difficulty and all the XBL ones) and have to say it was a pretty good game! The lip syncing sucked at times, but the feel, dialogue, and characters were top notch. The graphics were pretty darn good as well.

That being said, I'll be trading it in next week as I can't see myself playing through it again.

Re: Ghostbusters....Yea, we're back!

with the b2g1 at my local videogame store, i was going to finally pick this up

couple questions.

any replay value?
if so, what?
besides the usual, 'beat it on all levels ' ones.

how long will it take, for a casual, very casual run through.
not blazing through it.

thanks guys, it'll save me from reading 24 pages.

This is $20 this week at Best Buy. Never played it, but the impressions sound very good.

You should get it George it's a lot of fun. It really is like an interactive Ghostbusters 3 movie. I've already beaten it, but I'm pretty sure I'm getting it for Christmas because I was asked what cheap game someone could get me and Amazon had this for $19 not long ago.

I'm looking forward to going through the story again.

Thanks Kevin, I might give it a chance. I will be off the next 2 weeks of Christmas due to our furlough, so I could get some extra gaming time in and finish up some house projects.

The main story is pretty short though, that's why I only rented it and now hope to get it since it is so cheap. The main story is about 6 hours of gameplay and there really isn't much in terms of side quests. There's a few things you can collect if you missed them during the story like PKing the ghosts and stuff. Then there is the online that I never tried. If you have the game after the New Year and get it for the PS3, let me know and we can try out the online stuff.

I finally cracked this sucker open and holy crap is this game fun. I haven't played anything in sometime where I could just sit back and enjoy without doing mindless puzzles or it gets too be over complicated. I spent 2 hours in one sitting, which flew by so fast. It's great to sometimes have games like this to sit back and have fun with then to worry about a million other objectives.

I'd love to play some multiplayer Kev once I get through the SP, which should be in a few days if you say this is 6 hours long.
