I have been busy working on Ghostbusters.org (just moved to domain to its final production server), I haven't had a chance to play the Xbox LIVE version of Ghostbusters: Sanctum of Slime.

Who's interested in playing some Sanctum of Slime later tonight? I keep hearing the Demo is much rougher than the actual game. For those of you who haven't tried it, I highly recommend the online co-op. Sure, the AI can be challenging (if not impossible) at times, but the online co-op and the great IDW treatment is really what makes the game (imho).

The demo/trial is the same finished game. It just allows you to play like one level. Even as a big GB fan, I am still not sure if I want to buy the whole thing. :S.

Please read this tweet from @ProtonCharging which illustrates how the demo is (more or less) a bad sell. Give the game a chance, at the very least you're stuck playing a few games with us. :-)

eh, I can't see me throwing in $10 for this game. Btw, here's IGN's review of it.

I hate to admit it, but this hits the nail on the head. The game is repetitive, the AI is ridiculous at times. There are huge difficulty spikes (the yellow slime abomination in the sewer and the yellow “snot zombies” and blue gargoyles in the 2nd Cemetery level.)

As much as I wanted to like this game, what with it being Ghostbusters, I can't really find anything to really enjoy. I'll plug away at it until I get all the achievements but then I'll stop.

Overall, I'm quite enjoying this game, but like others have said, the difficulty spikes are a pain in the ass. Been stuck on the second cemetery level since the day of release! (Partly due to flitting between other games too) But I tend to take this as a normal part of games for me, there always seems to be bits where I'm stuck for absolutely ages and ages then suddenly I wind up getting past it, (most notably Azeltor in the 2009 game on Professional Difficulty, although I haven't quite got past him yet…)

is it just me or is this one or the laggest games ever online?

Ever played Super Smash Bros. Brawl?

Ok, so I finally got the full game and so far my opinion has been unchanged. I quit lastnight after trying several times, (unsuccessfully) trying to kill the Yellow Slime Abomination and finally got tired of trying.

Portals are your friend.

Man, I am never getting out of the second cemetery level. When completing a level has to rely on luck, rather than skill, then something has gone awry in the programming.

A shame, as I was enjoying the boss fights and the car levels, but I think I'll have to quit before I throw the xbox out of the window.

Thanks! Done it now.

And I'm kind of “backwardsly” happy that it isn't just me stuck on the second cemetery level in Sanctum of Slime! Ha ha.

I suppose we might just get past it by luck…frustrating as it is…
