Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)As a long-time fan of the franchise, I was really excited for this game, especially considering that Aykroyd and Ramis wrote and starred in the game (oh, yeah, the rest of the Ghostbusters do their own voices too).
Simply put, it's fun and it's worth the money. Yes, it is inferior to the PS3 and 360 versions - no multiplayer, no achievements, plus controls designed for a console controller. On the other hand, it's half the price and the single player mode is identical.
The environments are incredibly detailed. Wandering around the firehouse in between missions, you can see the care the developers took getting the details just right. Levels are fairly well designed (though really linear), and catching ghosts is just a blast. The variants of the proton pack can be fun too, though some are kinda hokey. Most importantly, though, the story is fun and hilarious. I found myself literally chuckling or laughing at jokes from time to time (Hindenburg: The Musical? Priceless.).
There are a few issues - some repetitive gameplay at times, occasional collision issues, not a whole lot of replay value, but overall it's a solid game. Yes, the PC version has DRM - easiest way to fix that, IMO, is to buy it on Steam. Sure, Steam has DRM too, but it's not nearly as draconian as the DRM Atari, EA, and other publishers have subjected gamers to over the last couple years. Easy to manage, install, and uninstall.
If you like the franchise, buy the game. If you want to play with your friends, buy it for PS3/360.
