Don't get me wrong - I LOVE THIS GAME - but the whole point of playing a silent rookie character instead of one of the original ghostbusters is to make you feel like YOU are one of the ghostbusters. The create-a-character would have better carried out that intention in my opinion.
On a side note, this game would have been much better had the rookie idea been scrapped all together and you and 3 of your friends could have played through the story as the original 4 ghostbusters via XBL or PSN. I think more people want(ed) to play as Venkman, Stantz, Spengler and Zeddemore than anything else. This is evidenced by the fact that next to nobody plays as the rookie in multiplayer. Furthermore, the storyline is advanced by the cut scenes, not the in- game dialogue. Whether Spengler says “Aim High” when I'm playing as him or not doesn't change how the story unfolds.
Hopefully if a sequel is made that will be kept in mind…
P.S. - Can we get a patch for Xbox version?
