    Calling this a remaster is kind of a stretch.
    All they did was port it to PC and newer consoles than it released on.
    Some people call it "the true Ghostbusters 3", but it's mostly nostalgia talking. Back when this game first came out, we had much lower standards when it came to videogame adaptations. All in all, the writing's not exactly amazing, and it didn't age all that well    Calling this a remaster is kind of a stretch.

    But, for the 20$ pricetag, it's cool.    … Expand

    Is the game itself good? Yes! Great game if you love Ghostbusters. Is this remaster good? Absolutely not! It's the same game but with worse graphics. How? How do you remaster a game for PC and make it look worse?

    Downright terrible 'Remaster'. The original game is good, and this game is effectively identical to the original, the one good thing is that they fixed a bug that occurs on Windows 10 / 8 where if you had a controller plugged in, the game wouldn't launch (you had to plug the controller in after the game had already launched.

    The graphics are identical, I assume that they couldn't get access to the original assets, or simply never bothered to rework them. The cutscenes are upscaled, but still look noticeably worse than the game at 1440p. They didn't even bother to add a decent MSAA option.    … Expand

    Last time when I buy a game from this developer/publisher. Broken game. They do not know how to repair it.

    From STEAM to EPIC STORE - bad decision in the first place :) second is that it's a very weak remaster...
    Shame...

    A Murray moment. A decent game despite some clunky and outdated mechanics. It's good to hear the original cast again. Amusing fun.

    This should be a 6 really, but it gets an extra point for nostalgia. Initially it feels good trapping ghosts, with all the right effects and sounds, but ultimately turns into a damage sponge fest. That's not to say its not fun, I just can't imagine people who aren't Ghostbusters fans getting that much out of this.

Tal vez se eche de menos en algunas ocasiones algún tipo de cobertura, ya que la forma de evitar los ataques enemigos (el juego implementa un movimiento de esquive) no te permite protegerte, lo que evitaría algunas muertes injustas. Por lo demás encontraréis lo típico; varias armas, mejoras y desbloqueables, coleccionables repartidos por los escenarios para que los explores. Un diseño de los mismos bastante chulo y acorde a la temática, está bastante bien. Esta remasterización aporta mejoras en los gráficos y en la jugabilidad, no he visto bugs de consideración y se juega estupendamente en fullHD con 60 fps estables. Comparándolo con la primera vez que lo jugué en la Wii, las mejoras son abismales, desde el control hasta el aspecto. Recomendable, por lo menos en PC si eres fan de los cazafantasmas y te molan los shooters en tercera persona.… Expand

    Got this on the epic games store. And although it has the occasional bug it is still a fantastic experience for ghostbusters fans in particular.

    Just like back then, I see the flaws in Ghostbusters: The Video Game, but as a fan of the two cult movies, I don't care about them at all. Yes, there are many far better third person shooters, but in what other game can I use a positron collider to stop ghosts from spraying slime all over people? The shooter gameplay is fun, despite the partly inaccurate controls, and feels exactly the way you want it to feel. Moreover, the game is teeming with allusions and quotes, which put a blissful grin on the faces of the fans of the movies. But the dry humour is also perfectly fits in other respects - no matter if Ray is just obsessed again or Egon philosophises about one of his strange hobbies. In addition, there is a great atmosphere, varied enemy design and of course some iconic locations from the movies. Of course my fan heart beats faster. So I'm all the happier that everything works technically flawlessly in handheld mode and that I can now catch a few ghosts on the go.

    Ghostbusters was a great tie-in back in 2009 but this remaster doesn’t really make for a vastly improved experience.

    Ghostbusters The Video Game Remastered, unfortunately, still has the same problems of the original game. Cumbersome movement animations are not fun. This game still is the most authentic Ghostbusters experience.
