Ghostbusters Collectors Edition -- Excellent for the Right Price, September 10, 2009
I ordered the special/collectors edition of Ghostbusters a few weeks ago when it was a daily video game deal. The Slimer statue is very impressive and was designed by the person who designed Slimer for the movies (Google Amazon Slimer for details). Thus this statue is not just cheap plastic junk. The details on it are very well done -- teeth, fingernails, bumps. The designer shows you what he intended Slimer to look like. It is about 10 inches high. The car is cute and the puffy stickers okay. Basically, try to determine what you would spend for the statue and add that to the basic game price. I separately ordered the Stay-Puft bank -- that would have been a nice addition to this set. One of the Best Movie based games around, August 23, 2009
Let's face it, nearly all movie based games suck. In the past, only a couple gems have been able to slip through. Spider-man 2 for Xbox and PS2...and Gamecube. And Chronicles of Riddick for xbox and PC.This is one of those games. Terminal Reality spent alot of time working on this. And they where obviously very proud of how it was going, at every turn of development they let the "scene" know what was going on, showed off screen shots, and was more than happy to talk about the game in interviews and the likes.
I won't get into the summary of the game.. but I'll talk about everything else.
The graphics are amazing. all the little details pop, the physics are impressive and at times, it can actually be a little creepy in the dark. Sound is phenomenal the proton packs and traps sound just the way there suppose to, all the explosions, ghosts taunting you, and for the most part, the voice work is good too. honestly though. Bill Murray sounds bored, or like he's to goo to be doing a voice over for a game.. I dunno, I didn't like Murrays work in this.
This game was also written by the 2 guys who wrote the movies. (Dan Akyroyd and Harold Ramis.) So, you would think the story is top notch!.. Well, it's OK, but no where near what I was hoping for. The ending kindof falls out too.
All in all though, this is a great game, let alone a great Movie based game.
Fun Game. Slimer Edition Worth The Money, June 18, 2009
First and foremost, let me tell you about the game itself. It is fun, you get the feeling this could have easily been a movie. You are a new recruit, at the station, a quick walkthrough/tutorial shows you the basics of the game and in a couple of minutes, you are ready to bust some ghosts. The mechanics of the game are excellent, some control issues are there, specially when running, but after a while, it becomes easier. The game, like I said before could've been a movie, and this gives it a extra notch of reality, specially with the real actors doing the voice, which will bring back memories and give you a bit of nostalgia. If you are a true fan, get this game, you won't be disappointed.Now, about the Slimer Edition from Amazon, IT IS WORTH THE MONEY if you are a true fan of the series. The Slimer sculpture is HUGE and amazingly detailed and no cheap materials were used.
The Key chain I must say, is kinda of useless. Amazon claims it lights up and sounds, but there's no lights on it, only the siren.
The skins are not meant for either the 360 or PS3, THEY ARE NOT CONSOLE SKINS, although you could stick them to your console. They are basically bubble stickers you can attach to whatever you want, don't get me wrong though, they do not feel cheap or look bad, they are accurate in detail and they are definitely something you can't find anywhere else, very nice indeed.
