    Comparing the cartoony Wii version of the game to the one available on Xbox 360 and PS3 , the puzzles and co-op is better on the Wii version while the ghostbusting is much better on the other versions. However, since it is Ghostbusters, and a great game overall, you cannot go wrong with any version of this game. Read more

    Over twenty years have passed since Ray, Egon, Peter, and the rest of the gang set up shop in an abandoned New York firehouse to do what makes them feel good ? busting ghost. While several games have come out since then about their exploits, few have gotten the nod from the main guys themselves like this new version has. Read more

    The Ghostbusters is a staple of any good 80s movie collection and is one of the more recognizable pop culture brands. This makes it all the more confusing as to why a title with such potential would have a difficult a time as this title did making it to market. After getting canned, and then revived and finally landing on Atari’s lap, we are blessed with what could be the quintessential Ghostbusters game. It lives up to the hype.I originally picked up Ghostbusters: The... Read more

    Ghostbusters: The Video Game on the Wii is well worth checking out for fans of the series or for those looking for a well-built 3rd person shooter with a fun story and premise. The game might have needed a few more weeks of polish to truly shine, but for the most part this is a quality and enjoyable adventure. Read more

    I run a video game review site known as the GamerGeek Review, so I purchased the Xbox 360 and Wii version to properly compare the 2 versions. But from the start, I expected this one to be a disappointment as games that have released low-quality versions on the Wii and PS2 in the past were. I was quite surprised to find the game is very well rounded and enjoyable. The gameplay is quite good and less complicated than the Xbox 360/PS3 version, allowing users to easily pick... Read more

    When i was a kid i LOVED watching Ghostbusters movies / cartoons now i'm 30 and still love them! It's a great game for anyone to play, the controls are a little difficult to control at first until you get used to it. Other than that It's fun destroying stuff and blasting ghosts left and right. Great Game! Read more

    Ghostbusters the videogame for wii is a must have for fans of the movies.The 360 and PS3 versions are Epic But the stylish co-op, Amazing Gameplay, Epic Boss Fights make it insane god of war It's flatout fun so kids love it. But,on the downside its got Very Reptitive music:( And during the sequence when you capture a ghost the motion sensing can get messed up! But It's still a great game and not to mention the great infernal engine is still on the Wii. So even if your... Read more
