    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. The attention to detail here shames most other movie-licensed titles and there's plenty of fan service that will please gamers and non-gamers alike. Had the core game been more focussed on the hunting and trapping we'd have had a potential classic, but even with issues (some poor weapons, difficulty spikes, slowdown and... Read more

    Simultaneously a new Ghostbusters movie and an enjoyable videogame. Rough around the edges, but the superb scripting and unique humour make this a breath of fresh air. Read more

    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

    This game is awesome! Single player is a must for any ghostbusters fan. I have already played through it twice and am on my third go around. The wife even loves this game. Multiplayer is a blast with friends. Shooting ghosts holding them there, and then trapping them is the most fun I have had in a video game I have had in a while. I enjoy this more than gears 2 thats for sure. I will admit, not for call of duty players... since, well they have call of duty. But other... 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

    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

    Who you going to call? Your nearest game-seller because this is a fun game and is a nice attachment to the Ghostbusters phenomenon. Not a masterpiece, but then again it cant be really! 7/10 ... Read more
