I got the PS2 GB game and of coarse am having some problems with it. It freezes now and then. But I notice that if you play for long stretches it seems fine. In the two times I've played it, I finished with the Library stuff and the Collector (ugly worm thingie). But I'm using the “rookie guy”. My brothers been playing with the “rookie girl” and it seems to have more screw ups when one uses her. In the Stay Puft stages, he can't put the 2 generators away. They won't go in the slots, or he can get one in but the game doesn't acknowlegde it and he can't even seem to shoot the electric worker ghosts. Instantly the proton pack overheats after one shot against the ghosts for no reason. I told my brother he should start a new game and play in longer stretches. Because he's set at that stage as his continue point and it doesn't change the situation. Talk about a stupid glitch. You can't capture the 2 electric ghosts at all and the generators won't slot in. And also Ray isn't even helping the rookie girl at all too. I didn't have these problems with the rookie guy. That just seems all screwed up from the game. Has anyone had this problem playing the rookie girl on the PS2? Any suggestions?

Did you move the batteries so they get powered up by the Electric Ghost first?

Yeah, The female version may be a problem. I used her the whole time and I'm freezing a lot.

Nope, didn't had trouble with the girl. The only thing I didn't like is the way she moves when you strafe left/right; it's like she's skating on ice. Oh, and the fact that the scenario keep speaking to her like if she was the male character.

The proton pack will overheat instantly if you shoot the ghost when he is surounded by electricity.

If the battery is red, slime it first, take it in your stream, put it above your head and stand in the way of the ghost. When charged, it will fall on the ground, now take it in front the generator where it will connect automaticly.

I think there's a level with three batteries, where you need to start with the first one, but I'm not sure about that, so maybe you'll need to walk back to the room where you find the first battery. If there's no ghosts, they can be stuck in the environment sometime, use the CIRCLE button to lock on them (they can be stuck behind a wall), try to use the stream to pull them in; if it doesn't work, simply reboot the console. Yes, it's sad.

About your team not helping, I played with both male and female character and I can say that it is frustrating to see them glued to the wall; they just face it and walk in its direction. Sometime they are helping, sometime they're not even there. They can destroy some entity and reduce the ghost's energy, but they cannot capture a ghost in their stream, they can put a trap on the ground but they can't put a ghost in the trap.

It's the game, that's all. Male or female, the software doesn't see any differences (isn't it good to have a mature program?); the bugs are there; sometime nothing happens, sometime nothing is working correctly when everything was right before. Like cutscenes for exemple, sometime it's ok, sometime it's not.

It's a 25$ game, I was able to finish it, the flowers are still standing, my hands aren't covered with slime, I'm enjoying it!

Don't rmeber neding the ghosts to charge up the batteries. Maybe I'll get him to try this.
