I don't know why. Seems to me they're looking at the game through rose tinted glasses because the gameplay has so many faults its unbelievable.

To each his own, but I will say this. I have a friend who has ADHD and who has never been a Ghostbusters fan. He has seem the first movie, but is nothing like like or any of us. In fact he could care less about the game. His ADHD makes him very fickle when it comes to games as he is easily bored with them all the time.

I asked him if he could just listen to me just once, that he should pick up this game. He sad he would and he did. He picked up the 360 version just 2 days after me and he started playing. He has not put it down yet. Even when I play with him on another game, he tells me he is eager when we can play Ghostbusters again.

I don't see any faults with the game play, in fact my friend said it is far superior to that of Gears of War. The graphics are awesome in that they have their own style and grace. They are also scary at times and awesome. Nothing less can be expected from Ghostbusters.

It both feels and is a Ghostbusters game. A real one.

Why couldnt they make a viewer to the contenment i mean we can see the ghost we caught in the pke but thats not who i wanted to see i wanted to be able to see another world so to speak i mean just to see some of the older ghost they caught would have been cool.

I'm about 80% of the way through the 360 version. I picked it up yesterday (I was on vacation in NY until then).

Overall I'd give the game an 8.5. It's a very good game, but it's not quite great and it does have some flaws.

What I like -

The storyline - a good mix of humor and a bit of spookiness.
The environments - good atmosphere.
The sound effects - haunting.
The controls - I found them easy once you get acquainted with them.

What I don't like -
The length - the game is on the short side.
The voice acting - feels a little phoned in.
The textures - characters feel like something out of Thriller, which wouldn't be so bad if I was refering to the ghosts/creatures.

Final verdict - a good game that gets its appeal from the fact that it is Ghostbusters. It's a fun fantasy experience, though I can't help but feel I wanted a little more. A little more length, a little more freedom (not necessarily free roam, but a little more environment interaction) and just something a little bit more revolutionary.

I think I've gotten spoiled by some of the newer innovations that recent games have rolled out with. Ghostbusters is a safe game in that regard.

It leaves me hungry for more, which is a good thing. I never found myself getting “tired” of things. In fact, I'd love to see more games. Many more games.

I know they mentioned Yellow Slime in the Shandor Island Facility, but the only time I remember it being used was an episode of RGB (Partners in Slime if I remember correctly) when it was smeared onto Peter…BUT that episode mentioned it being mood slime and mentioned Vigo

Things I liked about the game

- It's something Ghostbusters, and it unites the main cast.
- The game play was fun.
- The new technology was fantastic.
- It had a stronger storyline then Ghostbusters 2.
- It was fun blowing up the Stay Puff Marshmellow Man(my favorite ghost).
- I liked the fact they reused music from the first movie.

Things I didn't like about the game

- The graphics could have been better.
- The game could have been longer.
- Not being able to play as one the four main Ghostbusters.
- No Dana Berrett.
- Not being able to drive Ecto-1.

So overall I'd say I enjoyed the game, here's hoping we get Ghostbusters 3, and a second video game. Also does anybody know how well this game is selling?

When I got to my game store Ghostbusters for the 360, PS3, and PC were sold out, I was able to get the last PS2 one though.

I remember seeing images that showed pink slime, both being used and flowing through…..where is it in the game? Im on the island right now, so have I just not gotten to that level yet to see it?

From my remembrance, Pink Slime is only mentioned in the single player campaign. The places Pink Slime shows up the most is in Multiplayer (as a power-up) and as part of one of the Cursed Artifacts also in Shandors Island
