Winston's the man. My favorite Ghostbuster, ‘stash or no ’stash!

in the end…its all about multiplayer for replay value…any true gamer knows that.

Rubbish. All the replay hours I've clocked up on Halo, Left 4 Dead, Alone in the Dark have been offline, and the former two through the offline co-op campaign with my brothers. I've never played online mulitplayer, haven't had to.

i can personally say that i really know video games and Ghostbusters seems like you could beat it on normal difficulty in about 8 to 9 hours given you dont spend time F'n around or look for artifacts…looking for artifacts and all that could make it a 10-12 game easy….

And thats just story mode…in the end…its all about multiplayer for replay value…any true gamer knows that.

DAMN…saying all that makes me really want it now…AAHH!

True gamer…right. Explain then to me in your logic the success of games with no multiplayer at all such as Mass Effect. Online multiplayer is a selling gimic. I would almost go as far as say a fad

The truth be told, there are no “true gamers” anymore. To quote on Scott Ramsoomair:

“With the Wii and games like Rock Band, it's opened what was once a reclusive hobby to the light of the teeming masses. Now it's trendy to like games.”

Games went many years without multiplayer, online or otherwise, and there were a lot of critical success that were fun to replay over and over and over again without it. Multiplayer is not needed for a game to be appealing and no my friend…that is not the end all beats all in a game..

Rant done…I think

I can see why you say Multiplayer gaming is a fad, but I kinda disagree with you on that one.

Look fellas. A true gamer is not someone who plays games because it is a fad. A true gamer is not someone who buys rock band because everyone else has it.

A true gamer is a gamer who plays a game because it is fun. A true gamer doesn't look just at the graphics or the system it is played on. They look at the value of a game. Graphics are important, but they are not so important that ONLY graphics make a game fun. (opinions differ, but that's okay. We all can't like the same things)

Ghostbusters is a game that looks like fun. I will play this game because of a few reasons. One: It looks like one hell of a good story
two: The game play and graphics look amazing
three: The multiplayer looks like an awesome party game with friends.
four: It's Ghostbusters…what's not to like?

I'll get the game as a bday present, but i'm not plunking down $60 for it. The game looks great, but fun? We don't know that yet. The only thing I'm worried about is the game getting dull really fast. Yes, a lot of games get dull quickly, like fighting and racing games, but we'll see.

At first, I think EVERYONE will have a smile on their faces when we first fire the wand and wrangle a ghost into a trap, but that could soon start to fade away if we're just rinse, dry, and repeat the process over and over again. That's why I hope TR makes some of the missions feel fresh not like “oh we've done this already in an earlier mission yaaaawn”.

I think the variety is very much different and the first three levels can prove this.

First level is a comical nostalgia battle against slimer. We can have reckless fun and not really care much about it because it doesn't reveal anything in the plot just yet. It just going to be that. Looks we also fight Sargassi and a few others like the spiderwitch.

Next level we fight Stay Puft. Okay we went from fighting small bruisers to an ultra bruiser that can step on you and you have to fight him while climbing a building. It would be an adrenaline rush for the nostalgia again and I think it is something we all want to do.

Third level is the library I think, and we go into a more scary creepy atmosphere diving into a search and destroy. You look at something, you turn around and then all the books are vertically stacked.

As for the repetitiveness, all games have it. If you think about it all games are repetitive. Think of any game and I will tell you what it is.

I do agree that Multi-player has a TON to do with replay, it does for me and is what Im looking forward to most overall. So, if you cant do multi solo like in other games that have 1 player options, it will be a big blow. Though from what some review have said it seems like a lot of it you can do solo….!

As good as online co-op campaign is, it doesn't work in every game.

Could it have worked in Ghostbusters? I don't know for sure. It might sound good on paper, but maybe it wouldn't especially if someone you are co-op wants to be a dick and continue to cross the streams on you all the time.

In multiplayer it is okay because well it is not the story, but when you are trying to get to the next part of the story and some jerk keeps preventing you from doing so, then it gets complicated to the point of frustration.

You do realise that your supposed to play Co-op with people you know?

With people who just want to have fun in the game that are on your friends(or ps3 equivilent.) list in the game and on your team. Your fun levels know NO BOUNDS!
