    I don't know what kk is talking about, but the option to switch between lefty and righty mode is in the options screen. I'm also suprised this game is getting slammed so hard in reviews, the combat is a little sketchy but the game has a lot of depth with an inventory system, upgrades to your equipment, character skills/stat growth, mission-based game play, and the ability toI don't know what kk is talking about, but the option to switch between lefty and righty mode is in the options screen. I'm also suprised this game is getting slammed so hard in reviews, the combat is a little sketchy but the game has a lot of depth with an inventory system, upgrades to your equipment, character skills/stat growth, mission-based game play, and the ability to drive the ecto-1 around downtown hunting down ghosts. It also has some free roaming aspects to it, which makes the game a lot better than a 5 in my opinion. My only real gripes with the game are the camera and AI.… Expand

    The concepts, overall design, and multi-character system works great. It’s just a bit too rough all-around for this first Ghostbusters endeavor.

    The cutscenes convey the Ghostbusters franchise as good as one could expect. They are filled with great graphics, great voiceovers, and movie-quality sound effects.
