    Ghost Rider, one of Marvel's lesser known anti-heroes, is a stunt rider named Johnny Blaze who is possessed by a demon of vengeance. His visibility as a character is higher now, however, due to the new movie starring Nicolas Cage as well as new games taking advantage of the movie's release. While the movie reviews haven't come in just yet, hopefully they're much better than the game because Ghost Rider as a game is a horrible experience. Read more

    Thankfully, the biggest redeeming factor in this version is the unlockables. You can still barrel your way through the single-player game with the ever-exploitable Flaming Slide attack, unlocking the comic books to read on the go. Overall, when stacked next to its PS2 counterpart, the PSP version of Ghost Rider is on very weak legs. Read more

    However, I found I was having fun while on foot. Sure the game steals ideas from the best of the genre, has bland graphics, and a main character who desperately needs an ice pack and a throat sweet, but it's enjoyable enough while it lasts - which isn't very long. Ghost Rider is a solid game that offers some decent action, but unless you must play as Ghost Rider you'll be better off checking out one of the many, better alternatives. Read more

    Movie- and comic book-based games are prone to suffering from unattainable expectations of fans that know the material, but Ghost Rider for PSP doesn't even aspire to meet basic association. In fact, the only thing Ghost Rider does with any consistency is illustrate what's wrong with movie-based games publishing in the first place. Read more

    Holding a flaming skull in your hand is a little less painful than it sounds. Read more
