DS #3868: Ghostbusters: The Video Game (USA)

[Hadrian]

I wanted to like it, but all the little things just kept me from having any fun. I think I'll just replay the Genesis game instead for Ghostbusters on the go.

New Ghostbusters II on the NES is miles better than that, it was done by HAL who also did Kirby & Smash Bros.

Meh, it's not bad but it's not good either... Too bad cause I'd been waiting for this...

 

[Pizzaroo]

It's not as good as the PC game (which is excellent), but it's the only portable version of the game as the PSP version was canceled.

I liked the Spectrum version better than this.......maybe I need to get out more

The PSP version hasn't been cancelled.

Though why anyone would want a butchered version of the Wii game is another matter, not even the developers speak kindly of it.

Gamespot has their review for this up:

They gave it 50% (mediocre)

I'd have to say I pretty much agree with them on nearly every point.

Pretty sad considering how hyped this game was and how anxious we all were to play it.

 

[dawn.wan]

its not hype for the game dude... its for the song!!!

This is by far one of the ugliest ds games I have ever played.

I guess they forgot they had a ds game to work on while putting all there effort into the 360/ps3/wii versions.

Man this game sucks

 

[Shelleeson]

i thought i was the only person who thought this game sucked
the control is terrible
i really expected better from this francise

 

[taken]

I played it didn't like it. The controls are all wrong.

I'd expected better.Thought it could have been better I am glad I didn't buy.

umm...might be missing something here but does anyone know how to use the trap? i got no clue.

Great game, ive been playing it for a little while and I do enjoy it but it can be a little fast paced and if you get caught by something accidentally there is no way to recover you just keep getting hit.

If you are already on ego you have to click on his picture again and hold L. It doesn't get thrown out automatically you actually have to hold L and it goes just fine.

and make sure you press the red character in order have the guys hold the ghost with the beams so you can throw out the trap

Who ya gonna call?

Shovelware busters!

 

[Man18]

Dont rate the game of the first 5 mins of it. PLay for a few hours, you will enjoy it.

 

[dawn.wan]

i agree with mankey boy
just cause the driving has getto controls doesn't mean it sucks.

 

[eSPy]

played the game for a few hours and now i give up. the driving minigame between missions is annoying as hell. just got to a part where i have to lead one guy outside but he wont follow us into the elevator so im not gonna bother anymore. really had high hopes for this game but it was a letdown.

also the fact that you constantly get hit and takes what seems like ages for your character to get back up again, only to be hit and fall again.
