5/31/2023 0 Comments Video game reviewsI’d disagree with Dan’s statement and instead say that this game is the two movies merged into one without too many spoilers, Slimer, the Grey Lady, Vigo, the Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man, and several movie locations all make reappearances. Cameos by Annie Potts (Janine), William Atherton (Peck), and Brian Doyle-Murray (Mayor Mulligan) also help to provide fan-service.ĭan Ackroyd (Ray), said this isn’t a movie tie-in, but “ essentially the third movie” – so much so that Dan penned the game’s script with fellow Ghostbusters movies co-writer Harold Ramis (Egon). It’s a small, yet GREAT throwback celebrating the storied Ghostbusters franchise. ![]() On that last note, the names of the title’s Achievements and Trophies are simply gold (and look to be the same as in the original) fans of the films will find themselves chuckling when certain accomplishments are unlocked. Catching the ghosts is also hilarious fun as you slam apparitions into traps thrown by yourself or the other Ghostbusters (just don’t look directly into the trap!). Scanning your ghostly enemies is very Pokemon-eqsue, and helps in determining your foe’s weaknesses. To find the secret artefacts scattered throughout the game, using your own PKE meter is a must and further cements you into the world. The multiple weapons are all great fun to use and switching between them is a must when dealing with the many unique ghosts you encounter. I mean, come on - you’ve always wanted to use your own proton pack, haven’t you? The traditional pack from Ghostbusters and the slime pack from Ghostbusters 2 both are featured heavily in the game, and are joined by status and proton shotgun (for lack of a better description) packs each has a primary and a secondary fire mode. ![]() ![]() The Video Game is a Ghostbusters fan’s dream. Best yet, each of the Ghostbusters has been voiced by the same actor that starred in the films. A third-person shooter (think Gears of War with ghosts) that instantly finds its place in two movie-strong universe, the title places you as a rookie working alongside heroes Ray Stantz, Egon Spengler, Peter Venkman, and Winston Zeddemore. In case you missed it on Xbox 360 and PS3 the first time around, Ghostbusters: The Video Game Remastered is now available on Windows PC, Xbox One, PS4 and Switch.
