Okay, now for reasons I'm not going to go in on an internet message board, I was forced to sell my XBox 360. Now, I have a Wii and will be getting Ghostbusters TVG (was going to get it on the 360, too).

Now, I've tried to do a search and I've got my subscription to Game Informer and I read all the magazines, but I've found very little that answers the one question I have between the Wii version as compared to the 360/PS3 version.

What exactly are the differences? I know about the graphics and the controls (you'd have to be an idiot not to know). I know they use the same audio. I know it tells the same story. The question, though, is what are the differences? Do they leave out certain elements of the story? Do they not use all the voice work recorded? I know the levels won't be exactly the same in terms of design, but do they use ALL the same locations?

Basically, I'm looking for the definitive list of differences (or as close to definitive as they come). If really the only difference boils down to just having differing graphics (with that including level design) and differing controls, I'll be alright. If not, I'm going to have to get my 360 back somehow.

Thanks in advance for the help.

I havent seen any info on that much depth on the differences you are asking about and we probably wont know until the games are out.

You pretty much nailed all the big differences between the two except for multiplayer. There has been some info about these.

in brief,

Wii only has 2 player splitscreen local story co-op.

360 has online 4 player co-op competitive modes, no splitscreen local play


My advice, get your 360 back so you can have both versions. :-)

Do they leave out certain elements of the story?

It was rumored that the Wii version of the game used a slightly simplified version of the story, but nothing solid has ever come of that suggestion.

Do they not use all the voice work recorded?

The Wii version of the game has some alternate/custom dialogue that won't be found in the 360/PS3 version of the game.

I know the levels won't be exactly the same in terms of design, but do they use ALL the same locations?

No idea.

Basically, I'm looking for the definitive list of differences

One won't exist until at least a few months after the game has been released.

The only other major difference other what you have already pointed out is that there is no online multiplayer on the Wii version like the 360/PS3 version but Wii version gets local Story Mode Co-Op which you can play as a male or female rookie which does not feature on the 360/PS3 version.

That information has been put out to the public but there maybe other significant differences I do not know about that others who have playtested beta versions might know about.
