Yea, the PS2/Wii version looks more kiddie, but it also features multiplayer and free for all where someone can be a ghost and all of the Ghostbusters have different abilities. So I'll be buying both versions (PS2 and PS3). Cuz the PS3 game does look amazing (and they'll be announcing possible multiplayer stuff with that at some point).

I'm getting both Wii and 360 versions.

I'm planning to buy PC and XBox 360, should I not have a PC that can run it, but I think I do, I'll have an edition that I can play on my brother's 360.

wii, 360, ds, and maybe the ps3 version if it has anything over the 360 version like stanglehold had (hard boiled right on the game disc)

Hey everyone, new here, but an oldie over at proptopia and gbprops

This game does look frigin awesome, i've reserved my copy on ebgames.com already. Free shipping so might as well, ey?

I'll be buying a 360 to play this.

In all honesty, and as much as it pains me to say, I probably won't be picking up the wii version judging from those screens/character designs.

They just arn't what I would like to see when looking at a stylised animated version of the GB's.

I'm actually starting to rethink what systems I will buy this for. The Wii is a definate, but my 360 has been screwing with me lately and quite frankly, I don't know if I want to deal with the problems of the 360 as a console so I may just replace it with a PS3. Sure I might keep the 360 for other exclusives (all I care about is Fable 2 and Ninja Gaiden 2 actually), but I may make the PS3 the main console. Course if it wasn't for the price drop, I wouldn't be thinking this at all lol.

As for the game, I hope they have some good extras. Yeah I know, we don't really need the older games, but it would be nice to have, say, alternate costumes. If not any RGB jumpsuits, at least the alternate used in GB2.

Update on my system war: 3 Flashing Red Lights of Doom!!!! dun Dun DUN!

That's actually a good thing if it stays that way… my problems before would have had me paying $99 to fix instead of free.

360 started freezind during demos and games and it would keep freezing except for Fight Night 3 and at the dashboard. If I left it on long enough before doing any other thing, it would fix itself and freeze 2 days later. Repeat… Freeze once or twice the next day… I'd get the 3 red lights at times if it froze enough, but it only did it once or twice until now… Now, today, I just turn it on and it has stayed that way after 10 tries. So lets pray that my 360 stays at the 3 red lights so I don't have to pay them because of their crappy hardware.

Update: And now it worked… Well, there's no doubt that it will break down, but will it be today, tomorrow, a week, or a month

I should keep my mouth shut next time.

1. Multiple ghosts of the same design.
No. Just no. The original Master System/Mega Drive etc versions had the guys running round busting Slimers left, right and centre. In the movie, there was one Slimer. He got busted once. That's it. He didn't keep getting busted over and over and over. I'm crossing my fingers and toes there'll be actual variety in the game - if I have to trap more than one Slimer, the game goes in the bin. Full stop. Repetition and lazyness sucks.

While I agree in theory, as long as they have a diversified variety of ghosts I don't mind a little repeat. It'd be pretty hard (or awfully limiting) to have a ghost design used only once in the game. I'd rather have a 20 hour game with say, 40+ ghost designs than a 5-8 hour game with 200+ unique designs.

As for the older games being released on Live Arcade/Virtual Console…Only if it's the Genesis game. The NES GB games sucked bad..if ya don't remember, check out the following links:

But I'm really excited about this game! The in-game video to me indicated (by way of the text at the bottom right hand corner of the screen) that there's also going to be a variety of attacks with the particle throwers. I'm guessing that you'll need to tire the ghosts out in order to trap them; kinda like the old GB roleplaying game where you had to lower their ecto-presence to get them into the trap.

Another excellent bit of fan-wankery I'd like to see in the game is downloadable/unlockable skins that replace the normal GB skins RGB skins. That would be awesome, as would some other RGB references (especially ghosts/monsters). What would be even more awesome is if a baddie was named Clavet.

All in all this is has the potential to be an excellent game, especially with the co-op. Let's hope for a solid 20+ hour game with lots of multiplayer replayability and all will be happy in fanland.

Maybe we need Boogeyman or Samhaine in the game… Even if new to the storyline some how, it would be a nice nod to the RGBs.
