    For those who loved the Ghostbusters movies you’ll feel like you’re in them.  You’re a part of the team as you play the new recruit named “rookie”.  They named you rookie so they don’t get too attached to you. Read more

    • This game is true to the movie series.  Excellent graphics and voice acting.
    • Short game play, no multiplayer on PC version

    Fat Princess is hilarious and is incredibly fun to play. It is easily one of the PlayStation 3's best downloadable games yet. The trophies and unlockable character options, as well as the promise of future downloadable... Read more

    • Excellent graphics and sound, genuinely funny, solid controls and good amount of strategic depth. Great value for your money.
    • Bot AI is stupid to the point of controller-chucking frustration. Connection issues.

    Perhaps one of the best ways to get a kick out of this one is going into action against hordes of paranormal beings with a mate. The multiplayer is great fun, offering. Read more

    • Has all the key elements, great dialogue and characterization, decent enough plot structure, enemy variety, proton packs are still cool, enjoyable boss fights, captures the feel and atmosphere of the movies, cast;
    • Revival doesn't always work the way you want it to in solo play, friendly AI unresponsive at times, shame you can't experience the main campaign in co-op.

    The review for this game has been a long time coming – seriously. Ghostbusters for me, like so many others of my generation, was so much more than a Read more

    A little over a month ago, while reading an article about some of the must own titles from the PlayStation Store, I discovered a game known as Fat Princess. Read more

    Okay, I’ll admit it – I played through Ghostbusters a bit slower than I would have played other games. Can you blame me? I’m a gigantic Ghostbusters fan– to this day I still own the action figure line, the firehouse... Read more

    A competent, entertaining singleplayer experience true to the franchise but marred by the shoddy port to PC. Read more

    Ghostbusters is a very captivating movie that has the re union of Bill Murray, Ernie Hudson, Dan Aykroyd, Harold Ramis reprising their roles as Venkman, Zeddmore, Stantz and Spengler. Read more

    right from the beginning that they haven't lost their visual chops.  The digital reproductions of the original cast members are all spot on.  There's no possibility you're going to mistake one person for another.  It only Read more

    All in all, Ghostbusters The Video game is brilliant.  This is the first time I’ve played a Ghostbusters game and actually felt like I was one of the Ghostbusters.  The graphics are great, they story feels like it should Read more

  1. Waste of time and money. Poorly written, untested garbage

    If you like wasting your time, this game's for you. As others have already said, the installer is pathetic. Took me an hour or so to find the work around for installing anywhere other than the default. Read more or see product

  2. Pain to install, fun to play

    In order to install on a drive other than "C" I had to install on my target drive, grab the files that decided to install on C anyway and move them to my target drive, go to the installer on the DVD and repair the Read more

    • Fun to play, decent graphics, funny dialog (once you get into the game), and... it's 5 bones. - Nothing to shake a stick at there (that's coming up).
    • PAIN to install! PAIN! (see other thoughts). It took me at least a few hours to get it to work right. That DRM is ridiculous. I would have given it four eggs if not for the time it took to figure this out.
  3. Does not work on PC do not buy it.

    Product should not have made it past beta testing, should not be on shelves at a high quality retailer like JR. After following each instruction listed the game simply did not load. Read more
