    Will a game based off a movie ever be good? No. Budget is too small, they are rushed, and are created with no love. Do not support this trash. Maybe in another 100 years they'll learn to stop making these.

    It may be a bad game, but it's not as bad as certain other games I won't name here. Doesn't deserve to be on the same level as a 'certain' something.

    Compared to Warcraft III reforged, this game is an absolute masterpiece, there is nothing more we could have asked for.

    Ghostbusters
    When theres something bad in your video game.
    Im going to start this review by saying this is probably the worst video game I have ever played. This is a dungeon crawler style shooter where you play as 1 of 4 different ghostbusters with up to 4 local co op players… all with their own stats and main weapon… as well as a proton wand… there are 6 locations in this game    Ghostbusters

    Im going to start this review by saying this is probably the worst video game I have ever played.
    This is a dungeon crawler style shooter where you play as 1 of 4 different ghostbusters with up to 4 local co op players… all with their own stats and main weapon… as well as a proton wand…
    there are 6 locations in this game featuring 1-3 missions that can take everywhere from 7 to 40 minutes each…
    But its pretty much the same thing throughout…
    shoot smaller ghosts.. larger ghosts.. boss ghosts.. checkpoint after checkpoint location after location…
    over and over and over…
    The main problem with this game is that the pacing is way too slow and the combat is overall completely unsatisfying…
    every encounter feels like a boss fight and not because of difficulty but because how spongy every single enemy is…
    the things other dungeon crawlers like diablo get right is that weaker enemies feel like warm butter…
    but here youre shooting for what seems like forever as there are usually doezens of enemies around every corner…
    And to make it worst.. your gun overheats…
    that’s right..
    practically every 10 seconds you have to cool off your gun which brings this game to an unbearable crawl…
    when you do fight a boss, you have to weaken it to a certain point, pull out your proton wand when theyre weak, slam them a few times, and then trap them..
    you then tap x as fast as you can for an xp bonus…
    you can use this xp to upgrade characters skills like the rate in which you over heat and the damage you do.. which isn’t really too noticeable….
    And you get to do all of this while you listen to ghost puns…
    which is actually the best part of the game.
    This game is bad.
    Don’t play it.
    I give Ghostbusters
    my first ever and hopefully last ever

    My hatred for Blizzard and Warcraft 3: Refunded is why I'm giving this game a higher rating. Because unlike W3: Refunded, this game didn't destroy my childhood for corperate greed. Also, Ghostbusters never banned Blitzchung or ever asked me if I had a cell phone because I don't want a crappy mobile game I never asked for.

    Still better than WC3 Refunded! Has a very nice cd cover and a name that is just classic (which was also done wrong in recent years)

    I'm so glad I found Ghostbusters. I used the money I got from refunding another game that was just released (really lucky there), even if it was out of spite, I just wanted to give that money to someone else that was undeserving of it but somehow, still more deserving than the first. The first thing that got me about Ghostbusters was the quality of the CGI introduction, the animation ofI'm so glad I found Ghostbusters.

Some other developers should really take note that even in 2016, newer games than this could learn something!… Expand

    Truly a game ahead of it's time. No one understands how this game was crafted. It's almost like there was a war on this game.

    Bustin' doesn't make us feel good. More like incredibly bored. [Oct 2016, p.103]

    Demanding $50 for Ghostbusters which is clearly designed as a much smaller title is unforgivable and honestly, approaching fraud.

    The game is awful. The A.I is broken, nothing familiar from the Ghostbusters Universe can be used. The only positive element of this game is the soundtrack.
