My biggest gripe would probably be that the game was too linear and straight-forward; the level designers set up a basic path for you to get through each level, and there was little freedom for deviation from that path. But overall I thought the game was fantastic, and I mostly just have minor nitpicks about it. I won't list them all, but a few that come to mind are:

- Only four Proton Packs were apparently stored in the Ecto-1, and none of them had the gun portion attached.
I never noticed this, I wonder why they didn't put the wands on them?

- While following the Librarian ghost around the Library, there were opportunities to shoot it, but it showed NO reaction to being shot at most of the time.
In game cut scenes, been used in games forever. You weren't suppose to affect her until you actually caught up to her.

- During the Return to Hotel Sedgewick mission, there were times when the other Ghostbusters were walking through the pitch dark hotel without their flashlights on.
Like L4D on the xbox, the flashlights don't show but a little at the light. Why? Dynamic lighting is actually procesor intensive. Plus the GB work in dark places, you get use to the dark.

- The Proton Pack “reloading” feature looked cool, but seemed to be an impractical and overly intricate function to be added, when the packs worked fine in the movies without any such function.
Reading your other reply about the rods coming out, well 1) it is awesome looking 2) you have to cool the rods in a nuclear device and the best way without having a water source is to vent them.

- Your character doesn't talk, and isn't given an actual name.
At first I thought this was bad to, BUT this makes it to where you can put your own voice over his. Now the thing that SHOULD have been in there: a female version and have a quick blurb from Venkman about how Janine didn't do well, have Janine come in and kick his but and then they go on from there for the women players.

Replies in bold.

I don't want to make a big deal out of any of this; they're just nitpicks of mine, meaning that while I find them a bit annoying, they don't really detract from the enjoyment of the game. But I'll elaborate on them a bit.

I didn't notice it either until someone else here pointed it out, and I have no idea why they left them off.

I can understand that, but I would've preferred that you either could not shoot during the in game cut scenes, or that the Librarian would seem at least a LITTLE perturbed by getting shot at; it just made the proton streams look puny when the ghost was showing no reaction to them.

They could've had emergency lights or something on in the hotel, if all the GBs using flashlights would've been too demanding. But the hotel was nearly pitch black. I remember finding Ray, seeing his Ecto-goggles on, and thinking maybe THAT's how the others could see in the dark; but then I found Egon and Winston without any such aid, and I just laughed.

Reading your other reply about the rods coming out, well 1) it is awesome looking 2) you have to cool the rods in a nuclear device and the best way without having a water source is to vent them.

I agree that it looks awesome, but like I said, that function wasn't necessary in the movies, and I feel that such a function just makes the Proton Pack more intricately designed than it needs to be.

It was nice to have the four original GBs get plenty of talking time themselves, but I just thought it seemed a bit awkward that your character never makes a single comment or even asks a single question throughout the whole game. And they could've at least given him some generic name like SMITH, while still just referring to him as recruit, cadet, or rookie.
