u must be a real people person

8 out of 10 people think so… but not the 4 out of 5 rating I was hoping for.

I really don't understand why people are saying 8 out of 10 is a bad rating. Most movie based game are lucky to get a 6. Ghostbusters is one of the few movie based games that are actually good. Seriously…how is 8 out of 10 bad?

Keep in mind that movie games that are rushed out to go with a movie do very poorly. Ghostbusters was not made to come out with a movie but was made as part of a movie franchise.

I think you misunderstood. I expected the game to be good, but I don't expect the reviewers to give it a good rating.

I'm not just talking about movie tie in games, that are out before the film. Games based on old movies like Rocky, or Indiana Jones, usually don't rate that well.

I see your point. Rocky was just a bad game. Lego Indiana jones was good. Any one up for lego ghostbusters?

I know some of you think X-play are bad gamer reviewers, but to be honest they are probably the most unbiased reviewers I have seen. Some say listen to IGN or gamespot, but most of them are either biased towards PS3(IGN) or towards the 360 (I am not sure which one is biased towards the 360 because I don't read most of them.)

Some might say they are biased which probably they are sometimes, but they are the least biased. They defended a bunch of games that most bash because of their popularity and say that they don;t look at the games for hype. They look at them for what they are.

Ghostbusters gets a 4/5 which means it is an above average game….that means it is good. That is all you need to know. Despite the actual percentage math wise a 4/5 to me means anywhere from 80% to 90% As 4.5/5 is a 90%. I can do the math thank you, but when I see places give a game a 4/5 to me it could mean anywhere from 80 to 90% in the good scale.

Ghostbusters is a great game…not perfect, but then what games is? Somethings mistakes can be overlooked if the game more than makes up for it in other fields. Look at yahtzee's review of psychonauts and you will see what I mean.

I don't think that X-play are bad reviewers per se…just overrated ones. If they spent as much time reviewing games then thinking up stupid intetn skits than it would be a better program.

I tend to usually agree 90% of the time with the video reviews at gametrailers.
