The Ghostbusters Movie You Play

One of the movie series I have always loved since childhood is Ghostbusters. Over the past few years we’ve heard of a new Ghostbusters movie possibly coming out that was on, then off, then on, then finally off. What they came out with instead was the Ghostbusters video game. You mean I get to be a Ghostbuster? The proton pack wearing, fire pole sliding kid inside me is jumping for joy! Pictures of that little guy coming soon.

You play the role of a new recruit and latest addition to the Ghostbusters team. All of the dialogue comes from the main characters and supporting cast, while your character stays silent and absorbs what the team is saying. The dialogue is great; Peter is still the same pathological flirt, and Ray and Egon are still as nerdy as ever, while Winston is the one who puts the big picture together. There are some pretty good lines in the game that will make you laugh a few times, although at some points they seem to talk a little too much when they should be working to finish the job.

Training how to trap a ghost and the first actual mission of the game are two very familiar scenarios that are sure make you grin from ear to ear as I was. The controls for wrangling and trapping a ghost are pretty fun to use. You actually have to struggle to get those little buggers in there. There is of course the slime gun made popular in Ghostbusters 2, as well as two new additions to the proton pack that you learn about later in the game. I love me some Boson Collider!

It was a very excellent game to play. I enjoyed it pretty much all the way through. If you are still a fan of the Ghostbusters and watch it every now and then, you should buy this game or rent it from your nearest store or Gamefly. Who ya gonna call?
