    If you are a Ghostbusters fan who never bought the original, this is the definitive version. it's a 10. BUY IT NOW! The best Ghostbusters game ever. Which isn't saying much because the runners up are Ghostbusters 2 NES Pal version which was like a less fun Zombies ate my Neighbors, a Doom2 WAD, and a Pokemon go knockoff. Are you a non-fan who wants a 3rd person shooter with a fun lassoIf you are a Ghostbusters fan who never bought the original, this is the definitive version. it's a 10. BUY IT NOW!

Which isn't saying much because the runners up are Ghostbusters 2 NES Pal version which was like a less fun Zombies ate my Neighbors, a Doom2 WAD, and a Pokemon go knockoff. Are you a non-fan who wants a 3rd person shooter with a fun lasso gimmick? meh 5/10.

    Did you buy it before? It's literally the exact same game with almost no noticeable increase in resolution. Also no Multiplayer (yet?). Seriously, co-op and multi should have been the bare minimum addition. If they add that and maybe a new map on it I'll jack up my score by 2 points. It's only been 10 years. A little early for a remaster. Not much differences in tech to take advantage of.

    I still love it though. Gonna 100% all the trophies just like last time. If you are a fan and you bought it once, only a superfan would buy it again. In which case add me when multiplayer comes out Thedarknerd69 on PSN. If you didn't buy it before? Buy it now! If you are a passing fan or a normie? Pass.    … Expand

    Uma péssima remasterização, nem se quer melhoraram os gráficos, além de tudo enfiaram o jogo mais ''bugado'' do que o original, muito ruim isso.

    As a nostalgia trip for Ghosbusters fans, Ghostbusters Remastered is a thoroughly enjoyable experience. For the time-being it is the 3rd Ghostbusters film the fans wanted, it really makes you feel like you're living a genuine Ghostbusters story - which makes sense considering it was written by Dan Aykroyd and Harold Ramis (R.I.P.). It was a smart move making you play as a nameless rookieAs a nostalgia trip for Ghosbusters fans, Ghostbusters Remastered is a thoroughly enjoyable experience. For the time-being it is the 3rd Ghostbusters film the fans wanted, it really makes you feel like you're living a genuine Ghostbusters story - which makes sense considering it was written by Dan Aykroyd and Harold Ramis (R.I.P.). It was a smart move making you play as a nameless rookie who joins the team, as you get to observe and interact with all the Ghostbusters. The fan service, the attention to detail, the feel of the proton packs and even the new additions to them all feel 100% genuine. There really is no better experience outside of the first 2 films. As a game - Ghostbusters Remastered gives a small boost to the original PS3/Xbox 360 version's performance, but beyond that it can feel very clunky to control and there is a particular difficulty spike in one of the final levels that - regardless of the difficulty setting - is easily one of the most infuriating sections of gameplay in ANY game. If you are in any way a fan of the original Ghostbusters this is still a highly recommended purchase, if your aren't a fan - you're probably best of leaving this alone.… Expand

    Great game if you're a Ghostbusters fan, though it's not much of a remaster.

    Would have given the game a 10 if it included the multiplayer remaster. The single player is great, no complaints there, but the lack of multiplayer ruined it for me. The original multiplayer was one of few multiplayer games I ever bothered with.

    While it certainly wouldn’t be a GoTY contender, the game is a barrel of fun and certainly provides enough subtle (and some not so subtle) fan service.

    The story, while serviceable, is a derivative to the original film(s). It follows a very similar arc, visiting the same locations, seeing the same faces etc. but to be honest, that’s pretty much what I wanted to see.

If it were a film, it would be a copout, but as a game, it works! It’s safe, but still enjoyable.

    The game mechanics are intuitive and work well - using 4x different style proton packs to tackle various ghosts or puzzles. Standard weapon/item upgrades, nothing groundbreaking. But, where the game really shines however is of course the cast, and their interactions. Wonderful voice acting all around. Also incredible orchestral music, as expected.

    Personally, I think the game is better than a 7/10, but trying to be objective and in the interest of fairness I will stick with the 7. I do however think that this game has earned the title of ‘cult classic’, because I know that this is a much loved game. It’s something players can fall back on over time with great comfort and nostalgia.    … Expand

    The characters are very funny and original GhostBusters are really in the center of the game, which is very good. But from the game mechanics standpoint this game is a torture. Most of the time I just prayed that next fight scene won't be harder than the previous one. A lot of times when I died I didn't even realized who killed me.

    What was great about Ghostbusters: The Videogame still shines through in this remaster — it’s a loving tribute and fitting ‘sequel’ to one of the greatest comedies of all time, the dialogue and performances are top-notch, and fighting the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man is still tremendously enjoyable. With that said, the nostalgia that masked gameplay warts in 2009 isn’t quite as potent today. However, it’s still a romp that any fan of the franchise will greatly appreciate, and given the sorry state of game archiving these days, I’m grateful we get the opportunity to play it again.

    A rather weak remaster on the technical side, but to which it is impossible not to recognize a certain intrinsic cultural value, closely linked to his respectful love for the cinematographic saga.
