    If you've been waiting for Ghostbusters 3 or simply a video game that does the classic series justice, Ghostbusters: The Video Game won't disappoint. Read more

    • Trapping mechanic works well, Real fan service
    • No campaign co-op, Some weapons aren't great

    is a good movie game. Charming, funny and bringing forth perfectly that unique atmosphere that fans will buy the game for. That the gameplay isn't always offering as much depth is something we gladly take along in exchange. A very relaxing game for everyone! Read more

    • Ghostbusters atmosphere, feeling, voices and sounds, Accessible and fun gameplay, Enjoyable multiplayer
    • Not always as much depth, Can become repetitive

    20 years on from the last Ghostbusters film, the (occasionally) fearless foursome have been successfully brought back from the dead by Atari. Take control of the new recruit as he's shown the ropes by Ray, Egon, Winston and Peter and watch as they test some dangerous new equipment on you. Read more

    The best thing Ernie Hudson's done since discovering the Hudson River. Read more

    • Awesome use of the Ghostbusters license; engaging, accessible gameplay; great writing.
    • Annoying AI that makes you play doctor a little too much; ends a little too quickly.

    I had quite the battle with Ghostbusters. Unfortunately that battle took place before I ever played the game. I made the "mistake" of changing the default path in the installation program and things went to h-e-double-hockey-sticks in a hurry from there. (Who organizes the game folders on their hard drive by publisher anyway? Read more

    I'm a HUGE Ghostbusters fan so it's difficult for me to be totally unbiased in reviewing this game given that it was essentially created by and stars the bulk of the original cast. To be honest if it wasn't for that fact I might have only given this game two stars. It's not a terrible game. In fact it has a lot of redeeming qualities. The graphics are top-notch. The storyline is actually pretty cool and ties in very well with the films (especially the first one). Read more

    I loved this game it was the most fun to play. Out of all my ps3 games this ghostbusters is my favorite. it has outstanding graphics, long storyline, great sound, its not to hard nor easy so children wont get upset. The only thing that isnt great is that there is no multiplayer mode, which probably wouldnt be that great because it would have to be split screen which would make it to hard. Read more

    • Challenging, Easy to learn, Fun To Play, Graphics, Great Sound
    • No Multiplayer Mode

    If you like Ghostbusters, you will love this game. Very fun game! Feels like you are actually in a movie! -Zap the ghosts even throw your trap to capture them. It'll make you laugh and even scare you at times. But that's what Ghosts do. It's fun and exciting. You can't get enough. Oh, and multiplayer is pretty good too. Read more

    • I love the gameplay and graphics. Not to shabby. 3rd person shooter. Easy to control. Funny thoughout the game!
    • Saving your game is kinda confusing. Once you shut down your system and come back, it is safe to assume your game erased. Just click Multiplayer mode then it'll bring ...

    Fantastic game!! When i first saw the videos for this before it came out i really liked the look of it...that is until the demo came out and i felt let down by it and wasnt bothered about getting it, so i decided to rent it for a trial. What a game, i'm totaly impressed with it and cannot find any faults with the controls, story line or anything really. Well worth a rent or i would even say buy it, as i may do if i dont complete it before it has to be back at boomerang!! Read more
